The UniParty Republicans in power who tried to undermine President-elect Trump and ordinary Americans for backing the former president who is set to return to office could be in for a harsh judgment.
House Republicans are calling for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney.
As a former member of the J6 House Select Committee, Cheney allegedly interfered with “at least one” witness from the highly polarized, Hollywood-style January 6 Committee, according to a warning from the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee.
If the allegations are accurate, Cheney may have committed a crime similar to what the January 6 defendants were falsely accused of under 18 U.S. Code § 1512 as payback for their intrusion into the publicly funded “People’s House.”
The 1512 statute prohibits tampering with witnesses, victims, or informants in order to obstruct official proceedings and is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
January 6 defendants are still unprecendently being charged with the crime, even in instances where they nonviolently walked through the Capitol building for mere minutes, despite the Supreme Court overturning the Justice Department’s misuse of the statute to prosecute First Amendment-protected activity.
The GOP-led subcommittee released a report on Tuesday confirming the J6 Fake News Select Committee “neglected or withheld evidence” from its final report and “deleted voluminous records it should have preserved.”
After falsifying evidence that resulted in the over-prosecution of nearly 1,600 defendants who protested the 2020 presidential election results in the nation’s Capitol, Cheney may soon face the wrath of the federal government for actually.
“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,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R. – GA, who chairs the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, maintains in the report.
“Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge,” the report continued. “This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause.”
The Georgia congressman issued a press release detailing the committee’s new findings including:
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 subcommittee also alleges Special Counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted President-elect Trump, colluded with Democrats and the two RINOS of the committee, Cheney and former Rep. Adam Kizinger, R – IL.

“We’re not calling it a final report because there are still a lot of loose ends,” Loudermilk said.
The Georgia Republican aim at the select committee that “investigated” the Capitol riot primetime comes as Trump vows to pardon January 6 prisoners and defendants within “the first nine minutes” after reclaiming the White House next month.
Trump has also suggested that members of the Jan. 6 Select Committee should “go to jail.”
