On December 17th, Breitbart reported that the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report recommends that the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigate former Senator Liz Cheney for witness tampering during the January 6th Committee hearings.
The article reports:
Cheney, a former member of the panel, said last week that she should not go to jail for alleged wrongdoing during her tenure on the committee. President-elect Donald Trump accused members of the partisan panel of destroying committee evidence that he said exonerated him from allegations of wrongdoing.
A report released Tuesday by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk stated the partisan committee “neglected or withheld evidence” from its final report and “deleted voluminous records it should have preserved.”
The article concludes:
The report found, per Loudermilk’s press release:
1. Former Representative Liz Cheney colluded with “star witness” Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.
2. Former Representative Liz Cheney should be investigated for potential criminal witness tampering based on new information about her communication.
3. Cassidy Hutchinson’s most outrageous claims lacked any evidence, and the Select Committee had knowledge that her claims were false when they publicly promoted her.
The report also alleged “evidence of collusion” between Special Counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted Trump, and the Democrats’ committee.
This is awkward. If Liz Cheney is guilty of the things that she is accused of, she should go to jail. However, if that happens, it looks like a political case rather than a justice case. But, if Liz Cheney is not held accountable for the things she did, what value does the law have if no one is willing to enforce it? Actually, the easiest solution to this dilemma is to have President Biden pardon her. That doesn’t really solve the problem, but it saves the country from being further divided when she is held accountable for what she did.
January 6th was a horrible event; however, it was not an insurrection–it was simply a protest that got out of hand. There are some real questions about why it got out of hand–paid agitators in the crowd, FBI undercover stirring up the crowd, antifa disguised as Trump supporters stirring up violence. There were a number of factors involved. However, now it the time to tell the truth, hold people accountable, free the January 6th political prisoners, and put the events of that day behind us.
