(VitalNews.org) – In a bombshell development, recent revelations have exposed Liz Cheney’s underhanded tactics in the Jan. 6 investigation.
Text messages reveal the former Wyoming Representative secretly talked to key witness Cassidy Hutchinson, bypassing her attorney Stefan Passantino.
This shocking breach of ethics raises serious questions about the integrity of the entire investigation.
Cheney’s secret dealings were made possible by Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump communications director turned critic.
In one damning exchange, Griffin explained Cheney’s concerns about ethical constraints, writing, “Her one concern was so long ad [sic] you have counsel, she can’t really ethically talk to you without him.”
This revelation exposes the lengths to which Cheney was willing to go to manipulate the narrative surrounding the events of Jan. 6.
By communicating directly with Hutchinson, Cheney effectively evaded proper legal channels, raising questions about the credibility of Hutchinson’s testimony.
Cheney’s influence on Hutchinson dramatically changed her testimony, including unverified claims about GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Other White House employees refuted these allegations, but the Select Committee promoted them nevertheless, further undermining the investigation’s credibility.
In a blatant attempt to cover her tracks, Cheney failed to disclose these backchannel communications in her memoir “Oath and Honor.”
The fallout from these revelations has been swift. Once a prominent figure in the GOP, Cheney was ousted from her position as House GOP conference chair.
In a shocking move, she even went so far as to endorse Kamala Harris over Trump, cementing her fall from grace within the Republican party.
Now, a GOP-controlled House committee is investigating the special committee that probed the Jan. 6 attack, seeking to uncover the full extent of Cheney’s unethical behavior.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk, who is leading the charge, stated, “The Subcommittee has no choice but to repeat much of the work of the Select Committee to understand their investigative findings.”
As more details emerge, it is becoming increasingly clear that political motivations and unethical practices tainted the Jan. 6 investigation.
