Liz Cheney Calls On FBI To Investigate Kevin McCarthy's 'Complicit' Role In Jan. 6 Attack

Source: Crooks and Liars




5/16/21 8:34am
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Sunday suggested that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is withholding "important information" about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.




........................
..................

..................

"I ask this about both McCarthy and Elise Stefanik (R-NY)," Wallace said. "Are they being complicit in what you consider the Trump lies?"

"They are," Cheney agreed. "And I'm not willing to do that. There are some things that have to be bigger than party, that have to be bigger than partisanship. Our oath to the Constitution is one of those."

Wallace went on to ask Cheney about her recent suggestion that McCarthy should testify before a bipartisan commission about his knowledge of the Jan. 6 attack.

"I think it's very important," Cheney explained. "He clearly has facts about that day that an investigation into what happened, into the president's actions ought to get to the bottom of. And I think that he has important information that needs to be part of any investigation, whether it's the FBI, the Department of Justice or this commission that I hope will be set up."

With the connections and resources he still has, he could dig up a lot of stuff to destroy anyone who goes after his daughter.
Then daddy just turns over the info to her, and lets her wave it in his face in front of the Republic Party and public.....

He voted against certifying the election results in Arizona and Pennsylvania, sending the implicit lie to Trump's salivating dogs that that the election was stolen.

It was only when the insurrectionists were breaking into his office that he implored Trump to call them off.
