The J6 committee criminal referrals. We should see criminal referrals for Trump for this reason.

It has been reported the committee wants all the members to unanimously agree to the criminal referrals they bring forward. I find it hard to believe Cheney would agree to anything without criminal referrals for Trump. He mission in life is to nail Trumps ass to the wall.

She made it pretty clear during the hearings she believed Trump committed major crimes and should be held accountable.

In regards to the insurrection. I recall what she said to Gym Jordan when he offered his aid on January 6th, "You were fucking a part of this!"

Go Liz.

And to show tRUMP's complicity, you have links to all of them anyway because he only APPROVED it all, never did any of the actual work.

I could see her being against referrals for members of Congress.

With any other candidate, none of this would have happened. Trump himself boosted the notion of a “Stollen election!” Cheney is willing to forgive those who were swayed by the lies. So she has a point. I'd prefer to ferret out all those who knowingly participated in a fraudulent scheme.

Cheney's position might be self-serving if she is planning to run for president and Trump is her main competition. She will need all the allies in Congress she can get, as she is not popular anymore on the R side.

Thank you for pointing this out. Republicans I talk to seem to think they can consolidate all the dangerous, reckless decisions of the past 6 years into one man, Trump - and then throw him in the trash and move on.
This should be the end of the party, period.
If you lose a chess match, jump up and throw the board and all the pieces across the room, you should never play chess again.
