Liz Cheney Warns

I suppose we get news from paraphrased tweets these days. If you look at Cheney's full statement, it reflects her point that a DOJ going after an Congressional investigation (which by the way, was looking into the assault on the Capitol) is unprecedented and such a political motivation could be subjected to sanctions (although I'm not sure how that would work... Congress punishing the DOJ?).
Anyway, Cheney and Thompson have led the effort to not destroy evidence, in fact they have called for the National Archives to properly preserve all content from the Jan 6 committee as well as Jack Smith's investigation. They are important historical records for the country after the assault on the Capitol and the Constitution. But again... "my team red, so no bad", but if the colors were reversed and it was Obama doing this...

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Or she was principled and put country over party
Her group deleted federal records.
Her group edited (with the help of Hollywood soundtracks) videos to malign a senator.
THat's all I need to know.
Which federal records? I haven't tracked this very closely. I know people say she did, but I haven't seen the evidence for it. I know there is evidence of her pushing to keep all records archived properly.
Which senator was maligned? I'm not being sarcastic. I know they edited videos together in order to show a summary of what happened that day. Ironically, it seems like it's needed more than ever as folks focus more on a soundtrack than the assault on the capitol.
It reminds me of focusing on Walz half a dozen mis-statements as if that is worthy of attention and ignoring the 30,573 lies Trump told in 4 years.

Which senator was maligned?
The video that was shown in the goup's hearings showed Josh Hawley running out of the building, much to the laughter of the participants and audio.

The fact that it makes Hawley look cowardly is the point. He was one of the LAST people to leave the Capitol building.
But for some reason, they didn't say that.
Would you care to offer an opinion as to why the group refused to seat members selected by the GOP leadership, but only those who the Democrats approved of?
Look, I'm not defending the riot, by any stretch. But, this was pure theater. Edited, with evidence hidden, testimony suppressed and messages deleted.
And it stinks.

Too soon. Most of us are still processing our emotions after being immersed in Tim "big fat liar" Walz's relentless stream of lies during the campaign. It is only small consolation that Harris definitely lost the presidency because of the liar she chose as her running mate. Our wounds need time to heal, and please respect our space as we do so.

@George-K I am absolutely shocked the committee didn't show videos of the peaceful parts of the day.
I'm sure you are.
Wanna talk about deleted text messages that the IG found? How about Cassidy Hutchinson's ever-changing wheelgate testimony?

I'm happy if they look into how the text messages were deleted. Odds are it was done as a device replacement program and not maliciously, but they should at least find out if they can. Honestly I'd be glad if Trump held his own Jan 6th investigation, but that might be a little awkward for him.
I'm appreciative there was a committee to investigate such a horrendous act against the law and constitution, in the first place. Get all the facts out there, let the sunlight be the disinfectant, let history have an accurate capture of what happened that day. If the committee was 98% accurate and 2% bad...better than nothing. Way better than nothing. You are focusing on the 2%, not the 98%. A similar theme of Walz vs Trump and misstatements (actually that is more like 0.03% to 99.97%.
Believe it or not I'm on your side, I want the truth to be known and documented. I see the forest whereas I think you see the one dead tree.
