The latest gossip from the political courthouse comes straight from the magnificent land of Wyoming thanks to former Representative Liz Cheney, who is now facing potential legal troubles of her own. President-elect Donald Trump has made it loud and clear that the gloves are off, indicating that Cheney, that once-untouchable GOP figure, is in a heap of trouble. A recent House report dropped like a bombshell claiming Cheney deserves investigation for witness tampering during the partisan investigation into the January 6 Capitol events.
In a typically sassy post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that the heavy hitters in Washington should take a closer look at Cheney’s actions. The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight has concluded that she may have disrupted the judicial process by sneaking behind closed doors to talk to Cassidy Hutchinson without her lawyer present. One can’t help but chuckle at the irony here; a once-prominent Republican is now under the magnifying glass while the FBI could be warming up its rubber stamp for an investigation. A once-ironclad career, now resembling more of a house of cards.

Trump was quick to express his “gratitude” for Barry Loudermilk, the Georgia GOP representative who chaired the committee and seems to have carried out an investigation that lined up with what so many conservative Americans already suspected about Cheney. Instead of being the political superstar she once imagined, she’s now a poster child for why it might not be worth it to bite the hand that feeds you—or in her case, the man who might be returning to the White House soon.
The report also characterized Hutchinson’s more dramatic claims as “outlandish” and lacking the sturdy backbone of evidence. Who would have thought? An ex-White House aide claiming dramatic moments without solid proof. The same report takes aim at the January 6 Select Committee, once run by the theatrical Nancy Pelosi, accusing them of knowing that Hutchinson’s testimony was shaky yet still presenting it as gospel. Clearly, desperation leads to dangerous terrain for reputations.
As Trump jests from his digital perch, it’s more evident than ever that the landscape has shifted. The former president has a front-row seat to Cheney’s unraveling, and he shows no signs of hiding his satisfaction. Her cries for his indictment abruptly sound hollow now that the spotlight is shining brightly on her alleged misdeeds. It might be described as poetic justice or just plain karma—whatever one prefers. Either way, the legal wheels are in motion, and the once-proud political idealist is now facing the music. Will the FBI take a closer look at her antics? Stay tuned. The show is just getting started.
