In another revoltingly hypocritical move, #HouseRepublicans say #LizCheney should be criminally investigated, for investigating #Trump’s #Jan6 #coup attempt.
House Republicans on Tuesday said their one-time colleague, fmr Rep Liz Cheney of Wyoming, should face a #criminal investigation for her role on the select cmte that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

A 128-pg report [#propaganda] from the #House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight said #LizCheney should be investigated for witness tampering. It accuses her of colluding w/ #CassidyHutchinson, the fmr White House aide who became the cmte’s star witness as it examined #Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The report — released as #Trump …has been promising #retribution against his political enemies, including #LizCheney — accused Cheney of using the select cmte as a tool to attack Trump. It was spearheaded by Rep #BarryLoudermilk of GA, the chair of the oversight subcmte [who, not incidentally, was photographed on Jan 5, 2021, giving a tour of the Capitol bldg to several #MAGA insurgents who participated in the #Jan6 #insurrection].

“#LizCheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee,” #Trump wrote. “Which states that ‘numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, & these violations should be investigated by the FBI.’”
…#Trump has made no secret of his plans to seek retribution against political foes once he returns to the WH, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” earlier this month that members of the #House #Jan6 panel “should go to jail.”
…Trump has also indicated he will consider #pardons for those who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6 “within the first nine minutes” of his term.
@Nonilex a minor suggestion @emptywheel.bsky.social makes a good case, imho, to stop using "retribution" https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/12/18/trump-is-not-on-a-retribution-tour-hes-on-an-authoritarian-spree/
@Nonilex he just makes shit up and puts it out there like it's actually true! I was done with him 8 years ago....this sux
