Liz Cheney’s own words were dragged out in “a twist of irony” as a new report alleged witness tampering in a call for an FBI investigation.

Nearly two years after the bluster of the sham Jan. 6 committee has died down, a review of its politicization resulted in the former Wyoming congresswoman and vice chair being scrutinized for alleged crimes. In a lengthy interim report released Tuesday from Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R), evidence suggested that Cheney had “tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson.”

The chair of the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight released the findings that detailed the criminal recommendations against Cheney and her “bombshell” witness whose testimony had previously been debunked.

Pointing to alleged communications between Cheney and Hutchinson, the report read in part, “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,” added the report. “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.”

Breaking down some of the key points of the report, Just the News CEO and Editor-in-Chief John Solomon spoke about how Cheney would have been aware of prohibitions against speaking with Hutchinson without her attorney as a barred lawyer in Washington, D.C. as he also addressed the allegations that Special Counsel Jack Smith had colluded with the Jan. 6 committee.

Specifically drawing attention to an unredacted transcript from a Jan. 6 committee witness interview that was included in documents released by the prosecutor in October, the report asserted there was “evidence of collusion” and, “Given that the Select Committee did not archive, or otherwise destroy this transcript, and that the White House refused to provide an unredacted version to the Subcommittee, the only remaining explanation is that Special Counsel Smith received the unredacted version from one of the two institutions which did not cooperate fully with the Subcommittee.”

Meanwhile, Hutchinson was accused of perjury over “the classification status of documents to disparage [former White House chief of staff] Mark Meadows.”

In a letter preceding the findings in the report, Loudermilk expressed, “Americans expect and deserve a government that is small in size, limited in scope, and fully accountable to the people, as our Founders intended. The actions of some elected officials and certain government bureaucrats in the aftermath of January 6, 2021, are evidence of how we have ventured far away from those basic principles of our constitutional republic.”

“Transparency, accountability, and equal application of the law are the only solutions to return our nation to one that is free, safe, and full of opportunity. I sincerely pray that this report is just the beginning of an era of restoring our federal government to the basic principles of transparency and accountability,” he added.

Over the weekend, Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) addressed a report from the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz that confirmed 26 confidential informants had been in the crowd on Jan. 6, 2021.

Having had the term “nutball conspiracy theorist” used by Cheney when he suggested as much more than a year prior, Lee wondered what the former lawmaker knew at the time before declining to comment specifically on the possibility of a “preemptive pardon” for her from President Joe Biden.

He did raise concerns about destroyed documents though as he pondered, “what role [Cheney] might have had in it, as well as other members of the committee.”

Within the report, Loudermilk pointed out, “In a twist of irony, Representative Cheney spoke out forcefully against individuals who endeavored to influence witness testimony in the Select Committee. At the end of the Select Committee hearing in which Hutchinson testified, Representative Cheney stated, ‘[l]et me say one more time, we will take any effort to influence witness testimony very seriously.’”

As the report itself also suggested the events of Jan. 6 were preventable, Cheney previously told ABC News that “anybody attempting to influence witness testimony” could see a “criminal referral to the Justice Department.”
