The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yup, the dems thought they had it - the kill shot.

The 1 issue that they could shout from every rooftop and bury every Republican with. For all time. They were going to send the GOP the way of the Whigs with J6. All the stops were pulled - media consultants to create the stageplay. 24/7 news coverage. "" Explosive "" testimony from "" insiders "". It was all there!

And those damn voters...voted for the Trumplicans anyway! The dems will figure out ways to get around what the actual voters want, don't you libs worry.

Anyways. The J6 committee - as many of us pointed out at the time - was always playing fast and loose with the facts, if not outright fabricating them. For example, it's not physically possible for a President to grab the wheel of The Beast while it's in motion. Or at any time, for that matter. But this reality-bending stuff was lapped up by the intellectual kittens that make of the targeted audience for the J6 hearings.

Well, now the chickens are going to come home to roost. Tampering with witnesses is a crime...and Liz Cheney might want to call her lawyer:

msn.com - FBI should probe potential liz cheney witness tampering in jan matter house republicans say

"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," the report, which was provided to Fox Digital, found.

Shouldn't be too hard to produce those texts, should it?

The other person whom the Bell of Justice will Toll For is going to be... Cassidy Hutchinson herself. Testifying falsely under oath is a crime as well, and she told a number of whoppers:

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.
President Trump did not attack his Secret Service Detail at any time on January 6.
President Trump did not have intelligence indicating violence on the morning of January 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson falsely claimed to have drafted a handwritten note for President Trump on January 6.
Representative Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson baselessly attempted to disbar Hutchinson’s former attorney.


Liz Cheney will have a high-powered counsel at her side. Hutchinson won't. Fry her first and see who else in the dem hierarchy provided her with what incentive to lie so egregiously.
