Allies of former President Donald Trump have tried to intimidate people with knowledge of what was going on inside the White House around the time of the Capitol attack, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed Tuesday at the conclusion of a shocking congressional hearing.

Cheney, who serves as vice chair of the House committee investigating the attack, said the panel commonly asks its witnesses whether anyone has contacted them for the purpose of influencing their testimony.

At least two said yes. Cheney shared their experiences while shielding their identities.

“What they said to me is, ‘As long as I continue to be a team player, they know that I’m on the team, I’m doing the right thing, I’m protecting who I need to protect, you know, I’ll continue to stay in good graces in Trump World,’” she said one witness told the committee. “And they have reminded me a couple of times that Trump does read transcripts and just to keep that in mind as I proceeded through my depositions and interviews with the committee.”

Another witness received a veiled threat over the phone.

This used to be his purview. He may have passed the torch to some Oaf Creeper or Loud Boy now that he's getting long in the tooth.

There is already more than enough evidence to arrest Trump right now and keep him in jail while more evidence keeps piling up. The reason for not granting him bail is because he has been conducting and encouraging , through his cult members, a campaign of witness tempering and intimidation. Many of the witnesses before the House commitee have received threats against their lives, and if Trump remains at large that campaign of terror will just increase.

Does anyone actually believe that Trump reads transcripts, or anything? unless the transcripts are on twitter?

...that's got to be obstruction of something or other...

...how come when it's time to find out the truth on something major everything gets so fuzzy and complicated?

...there's too much wiggle room in this country for people at the top...

...not right...

It's only logical that they would be threatening J6 witnesses.
