Liz Cheney is out for revenge.
In a move that has made Republicans dislike GOP Rep. Liz Cheney even more, Cheney has just announced that the January 6th Select Committee is now looking for a way to apply “enhanced criminal penalties” against former President Donald Trump following the Capitol riot.
Republicans know that the Jan 6th Committee is just a way to stop Trump from running again in 2024 and interfere with the midterm elections but Democrats don’t care.
According to Raw Story in a recent interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Cheney was asked, “Should we expect criminal referrals on this? And should we expect something – how much new do you think the public will learn that will actually change the way they thought about January 6th?”
Cheney then dropped a bomshell and explained, “Our first priority is to make recommendations and we’re looking at things like do we need additional enhanced criminal penalties for the kind of supreme dereliction of duty that you saw with President Trump when he refused to tell the mob to go home after he had provoked that attack on the Capitol. So there will be legislative recommendations and there certainly will be new information.”
“And I can tell you,” Cheney explained, “I have not learned a single thing since I have been on this Committee that has made me less concerned or less worried about the gravity of the situation and the actions that President Trump took and also refused to take while the attack was underway.”
