GOP Report Calls For Criminal Probe Into Liz Cheney

The Huffington Post reports:

The lawmaker leading Republicans’ counter-investigation into the House Jan. 6 committee said former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) should face a criminal investigation over her committee work.

In a report published Tuesday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, said Cheney may have illegally tampered with a witness and encouraged that witness to commit perjury.

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report says in its conclusion.

The Hill reports:

The 128-page interim report forwards many of the claims circulated by the GOP since the committee was organized, complaining the Jan. 6 select committee was improperly constituted and unfairly pinned blame on President-elect Trump.

“Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi’s multimillion-dollar Select Committee was a political weapon with a singular focus to deceive the public into blaming President Trump for the violence on January 6 and to tarnish the legacy of his first Presidency,” the report states.

It’s a claim that if pursued would likely face significant roadblocks but that nonetheless comes as Trump has suggested members of the Jan. 6 panel should “go to jail” for their work.

Cheney reacts in a statement.

Chairman Loudermilk’s ‘Interim Report’ intentionally disregards the truth and the Select Committee’s tremendous weight of evidence, and instead fabricates lies and defamatory allegations in an attempt to cover up what Donald Trump did. Their allegations do not reflect a review of the actual evidence, and are a malicious and cowardly assault on the truth. No reputable lawyer, legislator or judge would take this seriously.

The cult is doing cartwheels on X.

BREAKING: CHENEY REFERRED FOR PROSECUTION

Witness tampering, just like we always knew she’d presented ‘evidence’ of testimony where Cassidy Hutchinson lied in her statements. This is worth up to 20 years in prison. @JSolomonReports @WorkingWomanTV @DBrodyReports @TBatesNews pic.twitter.com/wJZ0nfsE8c
