Liz Cheney Threatens Donald Trump’s DOJ With ‘Sanctions’ If They Investigate Her

While speaking to NBC News’ Kristen Welker, the president-elect said the following.

“Cheney did something that’s inexcusable, along with Thompson and the people on the un-select committee of political thugs and, you know, creeps,” the President-elect said, referring to Mississippi Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (the committee’s chairman). “They deleted and destroyed all evidence.”

That triggered Cheney, who lashed out, stating that Trump committed the “worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history.”

“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” she said in a statement. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.”

She continued: “This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”

Reading this post-election makes it all the more pathetic. There has still never been any evidence presented that Donald Trump intended for anyone to physically attack the Capitol Building. It’s also simply false that he refused to ask the “mob to leave” for “hours.” Trump did not try to “seize power,” and it has been proven that he requested National Guard troops to be present but was rebuffed.
