Liz Cheney reveals 'chilling' and 'well-organized' conspiracy behind Jan. 6

Source: raw story






David Edwards June 05, 2022


Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has called the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol a "well-organized" conspiracy.

During an interview with Robert Costa on CBS Sunday Morning, Cheney was asked if she believed that the events of Jan. 6 amounted to a conspiracy.

"I do," Cheney revealed. "It is extremely broad. It's extremely well-organized. It's really chilling."

She added that she was troubled by "how broad this multi-pronged effort was."

Cheney said that parts of the Republican Party had become a cult of personality surrounding former President Donald Trump.

Former Congressman Denver Riggleman tells a very disturbing tale of how the Republicans planned and carried out the January 6th insurrection.
It's like a trailer for a movie; just enough information to get you "woke" and ready to hear the whole story.

Obama tried but Congress refused to fund the logistics to actually pack up the stuff (desks, chairs, file cabinets, computers, office equipment, etc), lock the doors, and leave.

Both Obama and Biden released as many as they could to countries willing to take them after adjudication, but there's a few left who really are avowed terrorists and/or who no one wants, and both parties have unequivocally blocked their transfer to U.S. supermax prisons. As of May of this year, there were still 37 prisoners in there.

... violence, death, stolen electoral ballots from the Congressional Parliamentarian's Office
to be replaced with the phony ones from Rudy G., then Trump was planning on declaring
martial law, stopping the 1/6/21 certification of the vote, and then sending the "vote" back
to the states so he could stay in power and thus avoid being charged with his multiple criminal
and civil crimes.

It'll do no good to just tell us that Person A said this or Person B did that. There has to be consequences. And, none of this, "You can't indict a sitting Congressman." We need to root out the danger to our Democracy. I don't care if it guts the Republican Party to the bone.

I feel very much that the Republican Party took Russian money, and that a lot of our trouble comes from Russian meddling in our government, much like it is meddling in Africa, and elsewhere. But, every one politician is responsible for their own conduct. If they did it, let them own it, and kick them out of Congress! They can't be allowed to just say, "Yeah, so what?" and walk away.

I guess the first thing is to reveal it, and let it sink in. I just think that well, we teach our children how to behave by taking away privileges, etc., and these Congress critters need to be impeached.

All Indians and no Chiefs. Yes, they arrested some of the insurrectionists, but have none of the people who put them up to this.

The chances that the architects of this act of treason will ever be made to pay for their actions decreases with each passing day.

The slow building of precedent in 100% indictments and so far, no "not guilties," though, can lead to a high level conspiracy. The DOJ and DC circuit have worked on this buildup from the ground up, the Jan 6 Committee working with over 1,000 witnesses and thousands of text, phone transcripts, and internal memos from the top.

From subpoenas and deposition timelines that we already know the architects, know there's been a network of conspiracy between the insurrectionist level with higher ups, and we've seen much less conveyed in media than there are cooperating evidentiary witnesses and documents.

We'll see what the charges are made at the top, and the evidence will come out. NO leaks is a good sign that the DOJ ship is tighter and tougher than it looks.

Keep your hopes up.

Nothing would make me happier than to see TFG and his acolytes imprisoned for their traitorous actions. The Big Orange Pig has thumbed his nose at the law his entire life. The only price he's ever paid is monetary, and I'm sure he's found a way to write that off his taxes, so zero penalty paid.

I want him broke, totally penniless, and in prison for the rest of his unnatural life. I want him to die in a federal prison, not some country club holding facility. Do I hold a grudge? For that asshole I do.

Now, is all this too much to ask, ancianita?

Of course it's not too much to ask, Serge.

Just remember that the justice you ask re this one man will only drag him down from the top of the hateful heap of the countrymen we have to face. They are fake patriot forces manipulated into win-at-any-cost power politics. Many are billionaires.
I'm hoping that there won't be 74 million of their dupes voting this time around.

He's their symbol, and the sickness surrounding us is worse than the pandemic, a far deeper ugliness than we want to live with, when their military wing moves into governance, whether it's Miami or DC. It goes goes far deeper and wider than him, and I fear that we'll still have to wear a new kind of mask just to stay alive. Sounds dramatic, doesn't it. But the mass murders we're seeing daily are not spectator sport, like politics is sometimes portrayed. We are experiencing slow roll terrorism. It was a hard four years we endured, and you're angry, but I feel dread and menace.

We have Americans who want to end America. Sell its soul. Make it a gun and gas flooded corporate plantation where men are men, and women and girls and everyone non-white or hetero are nervous. The suicide numbers climb. I don't have a long life ahead, but for my children and grandchildren, I have to believe that good people in government won't let the minority and their military wing rule. It feels darker out there than in 2020.

Biden is right. The situation we're in -- military assault weapons in the millions -- really is about the soul of the nation. We're losing America as an idea that others of the world admired us for. We were born into a mess we didn't make, and now we face bag men for capitalist forces that want to sow turmoil, chaos, and the miseries of fascism. We've bought some time with Biden. I can feel that he is willing to die in office, to do what he has to do.

So, my friend, get rid of the symbol, and we still have that ugly reality to face, even if Rule of Law prevails. I don't think Jan 9 will even be the beginning of vindication. It will be the beginning of something else. Mostly what I ask for is peace and tranquility. Right now I feel you -- also weary, and afraid it's too much to ask.

I keep telling my daughter and SIL that after all the grandparents have moved on to please leave this country. I think it's too late for this country already. I don't see any way we can turn this around and return sanity and goodness (and not the christofascist idea of "goodness" ) to a country so fractured and psychotic. I believe this country has rotted to its core and is beyond redemption.

I hate to say that, but those are my observations and I've been observing this decay - despite all of our good efforts to stem this over the decades - for many years now. Such a fatalistic outlook is something I never thought I'd see myself take. I've always been an optimist, but now that I'm reaching the late stages of life realism has overtaken my optimism.

I look at the cruelty and hate on the right and realize that's here to stay. There's no way for republicans to put that toothpaste back into the tube. It will only get worse.

So yeah, I want them to flee this madness. Sooner rather than later. They're both professionals with marketable skills any country would welcome. I don't want them to live in this fascist/theocratic nightmare one minute longer than necessary.

This is waaaaay to deep for a Monday morning, but I think we agree that we want a better life for those who come after us, and neither of us -save for some miracle of conscience overtaking the majority of Americans - sees that better life happening here. Take care, my friend, and let's keep trying to make this a better place until our final act is upon us.

I haven't seen much of you on DU lately, but that may be due to my absence and not yours. Summertime is upon us in the frozen north, and there are so many things to do, my attendance at DU has been spotty, at best.

At any rate, glad to see your name pop up here. I hope things have evened out a bit for you and your family. Take care my friend.

central cadre of violent militia types like the PBs. Plans would have been shared with the rest of the rabble and they might have done real damage, instead of coming off as a disorganized mob of vandals.

A lot of that is due to the fact that TGF sees anyone not in either his class or his inner circle as disorganized rabble and treats them that way. Thanks to sociopathic snobbery, they'd managed to keep the Capitol Police unprepared and undermanned and they held off the NG. The nature of that crowd was their undoing.

However, let an arch conservative like Cheney think this was well organized, it might protect us the next time.

While it was far from well organized, it was organized and at the top levels of government. Like all other rigidly top-down organizations (see: current Russian military), the only real organization remains at the top. The bottom just runs amok.
