Republican Liz Cheney is facing the heat from fellow Republicans, but she might face the jury one day if this goes awry. A Republican oversight report has referred Congresswoman Liz Cheney for a criminal investigation. Cheney is accused of colluding with witnesses in the January 6 Select Committee investigation that she was overseeing.
The report was released by Republican Barry Loudermilk (GA) who serves as the Chairman of the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight. Loudermilk’s report claims Cheney’s role in the J6 Committee should be investigated by the FBI. The original report was posted here, but this part of it is relevant to Liz Cheney:
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. 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. 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 Federal Bureau of Investigation must also investigate Representative Cheney for violating 18 U.S.C. 1622, which prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury. Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, Hutchinson committed perjury when she lied under oath to the Select Committee. Additionally, Hutchinson was interviewed by the FBI as part of its investigation into President Trump. This Subcommittee sought a copy of the FBI report 302, documenting this interview and Hutchinson’s statements, but the FBI has refused to produce this vital document. The FBI must immediately review the testimony given by Hutchinson in this interview to determine if she also lied in her FBI interview, and, if so, the role former Representative Cheney played in instigating Hutchinson to radically change her testimony.
