House Republicans are demanding the FBI investigate Liz Cheney for allegedly tampering with “at least one” witness of the partisan January 6 Committee.

Cheney, a former member of the panel, said last week that she should not go to jail for alleged wrongdoing during her tenure on the committee. President-elect Donald Trump accused members of the partisan panel of destroying committee evidence that he said exonerated him from allegations of wrongdoing.

A report released Tuesday by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk stated the partisan committee “neglected or withheld evidence” from its final report and “deleted voluminous records it should have preserved.”

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Loudermilk recommended.

“Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge,” the report continued. “This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause.”

The report found, per Loudermilk’s press release:

1. Former Representative Liz Cheney colluded with “star witness” Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.

2. Former Representative Liz Cheney should be investigated for potential criminal witness tampering based on new information about her communication.

3. Cassidy Hutchinson’s most outrageous claims lacked any evidence, and the Select Committee had knowledge that her claims were false when they publicly promoted her.

The report also alleged “evidence of collusion” between Special Counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted Trump, and the Democrats’ committee.

Every one of these traitors belongs in the grey bar hotel. I’m sure Liz will be on the pardon list soon; this pardon nonsense needs to END. Perhaps that might give these cretin the incentive to just be honest…

I'd give my left nut to see Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Paige, Kinzinger, Thompson, Cheney and any other traitor that conspired against PRESIDENT Trump and our government, sitting in a federal courtroom at the defendants table.

That bitch belongs on a chain gang cleaning ditches out in West Texas in July .

Most of the FBI belong on a chain gang.

More theater, more professional wrestling.

If they really wanted her to go down they'd have waited till Biden couldn't pardon her.

My thought too . Why tip your hand ?

I took the time to scan the Select Committee report. If only a small percentage is true, Cheney and her friends are doomed! If Biden does not issue Pardons, they violated so many laws that they are toast!

Pardon me, please?

What exactly was the collusion?

Did Hutchinson testify that Cheney talked with her about the substance of what the committee needed her to say? I'm just trying to see what the actual collusion was and the context.

It would be pretty bad if Cheney purposefully met with a committee witness to have a substantive conversation she knew was represented by counsel.

Guessing a bit of digging will show all of the J6 committed did the same thing.

It is a pain to read, but tells all! Good luck!

I really wish they'd have kept their pie holes shut until 1/20.

Can a president pardon someone who hasn't been convicted of anything, not even charged yet, someone who is just being investigated?

Can he pardon every democrat on the planet for anything they might have done?

Been asked many times, most recently just a few days ago, and was addressed by sigfreund. Again, yes, he can. You don't even need to be investigated or charged with anything, let alone convicted. The only requirement is, you did commit an offense. The most famous case, as sigfreund pointed out, was Ford pardoning Nixon.

Fine points: There is no requirement a person committed or has been proven to have committed a federal crime. The assumption has been that they did. The purpose of a pardon could be humanitarian (unusual circumstances), proven rehabilitation via unusual contributions while incarcerated, etc.

With Nixon it was clear that he did commit some form of obstruction of justice and possibly accessory to or participation in a conspiracy related to the burglary of the DNC. And, as was widely thought, prosecution after he resigned from office would drag the country through an ugly politically charged process. Since Nixon was done due to his disgrace, prosecution would hardly punish him more than he had already suffered.

What we are seeing recently with Hunter is very different. There are no unusual circumstances such as extraordinary public service while serving a long prison sentence, nor any national healing situation such as with Nixon. Many people have similar circumstances with tax and gun convictions, including the apparent criminal activities generating the income and being addicted to drugs.

Preemptively pardons, as are being suggested, for Cheney, Fauci, etc, are an entirely new territory even from Nixon. What they did with the Covid situation and with J6 is vastly worse than what Nixon may have done, and they have not suffered any punishment for it the way Nixon did.

There are 2 reasons for punishment. One is to pay a price for one's actions, the other is to deter others in the future. Nixon's disgrace and resignation accomplished both. If Biden pardons all these people preemptively it will bypass both of those purposes.

If a person committed a federal offense in the eyes of the pardoner (the President), the President can choose to pardon him. That's what I meant by requirement. If the President doesn't think a person has committed an offense, then a pardon has absolutely no meaning. You don't pardon someone who, in your eyes, has not committed any crime.

Am I the only one here who wants Cheney to be pardoned .... so she will lose her 5th Amendment protection and will be forced to tell all in a future committee hearing? I can live with her not being charged. We all know she'd never get convicted by a DC jury anyway. But a pardon makes her look guilty and gives the House and Senate oversight committees carte blanche to haul her up there and ask all kinds of questions no one has been forced to answer yet.
