Liz Cheney: Trump knows what his own WH staff, DOJ appointees, campaign officials, etc told the 1/6 grand jury.

Donald Trump knows what his own
WH staff, DOJ appointees, campaign officials, etc told the 1/6 grand jury. Trump is trying to delay the trial to prevent those witnesses from testifying in open court. Americans have a right to hear from those witnesses now.

1. Never thought I'd say it, but props to a Cheney! Go, Liz!

Her politics suck, but .....

[hlthe2b]

2. Yeah. I used to want nothing more than to tune her out (hope that she shuts up). Now, MORE, MORE!

I have quite a fondness for Liz's directness (AS LONG AS IT IS LIMITED TO GOING AFTER TRUMP and his ilk)

[myohmy2]

5. agreed...

...sometimes belief and respect for our Constitution and our country out weighs partisan politics...

...this is what separates patriots from political hacks...

11. Ms Cheney

and ALL her comrades in the U.S. Senate, created this Frankenstein's Monster, nourished it every day for four plus years, and now have no way of stopping it or his followers...............

[KPN]

14. No kidding! Who woulds thunk?

"Go, Liz!"

[quaint]

3. I can't not admire her courage.

She is a Cheney, but with more integrity than Dick.

4. She must get death threats by the score.

6. Liz knows that Trump has already told those people the truth and that was, "I lost the election."

Btw. Liz to Gym Jordan on 1/6/21 after he tried to help her during the violence, “Don’t touch me you
are behind all of this.”

7. How does he know, i wonder. They told him? Because its

the truth? Discovery transcripts? Think curious how he could keep himself from openly trashing any who told truth. Not like him

[MissMillie]

13. I would imagine that all grand jury testimony

Is included in discovery materials.

8. Is there anything stopping MSM from interviewing a group of these people?

And making a anti-Тяцмp prime time special before his court dates and the next election.
Plus remind viewers they are all repugs.

[FailureToCommunicate]

9. Yes. The MSM most likely want a 'horse race' campaign season. Plus

being owning by powers that would rather have TFG in the White House, for some shortsighted reason.

Good idea though.

Maybe The Lincoln Project folks?

[KS Toronado]

12. I was thinking 60 Minutes

I agree most of MSM will not upset the apple cart or slow the ox pulling it.

[bluestarone]

10. Anytime we can use a person from their side to defeat TFG, i say

Whatever it takes!! DO IT!!

[republianmushroom]

15. Sorry Liz, not going to happen with the Cannon defense.

16. I don't have to agree with Liz Cheney on much of anything to respect and appreciate what she has done for this country

since Jan 6 at great personal and professional cost, which almost every other GOP coward wasn't willing to risk. They will go down in history as cowards and quislings. Even if there's little to no room for political agreement with her and a lot to argue against - she put country over party again and again in the fight to bring Trump to justice for his crimes and to warn the country of the damage he continues to inflict on it. History will look kindly on her for that.

17. Traditional conservatives in the Republican party have screwed themselves

Like Liz Cheney.
They helped usher in the "Tea Party" movement. Then coddled Donald Trump all the way up to him winning. Then voted for all his legislation for giant tax cuts for the wealthy, and cuts to environment, food stamps, veterans, etc to pay for a fraction of it. Backed all anti-choice laws.

But to continue on with doing the devils work, she knows that traditional Republicans have to get rid of Trump, who's not a conservative at all. He's just a grifting opportunist with no morals or ethics. Uncontrollable, unpredictable. And only interested in how it benefits him personally. Which is why the Koch brothers, and other big donors are not backing Trump.

To put it another way, Trump is going too fast for them.
THEY want to be the ones who destroy America. But they know that the best way to do that is a slow deterioration of rights and real wages and spending on SS and medical legislation like the ACA and is more possible if they are heating the public up in a cauldron slowly reducing funding for those in need, and increasing their own wealth, reducing the powers that oversee and regulate and their tax contributions.

Doing it in a way that this redistribution of wealth goes literally unnoticed. Its been normalized through time. They've been at it for decades already, and using the frogs/cauldron method, they have been very successful at still keeping alive the myth that Republicans/conservatives are better at handling the economy than Democrats/liberals. Trump could blow that all up. Because he's such a clown and shit disturber that Republicans may not get elected in a long time if he keeps this up.

That's what she's worried about. That Democrats will remain in power and make it harder for her and her fellow cons to pillage the treasury and screw the American worker.

19. I heard on the radio today, someone saying there is no longer a republican party: it's now a MAGA party.

Liz Cheney is one of the leftover republicans. A dying breed.
I always found it strange how John Boehner jumped ship.
That party keeps moving more and more to the right. I used to hate John Boehner for his extreme right attitude, but now I see him as a moderate.
