Liz Cheney Threatens Donald Trump's DOJ With 'Sanctions' If They Investigate Her

Liz Cheney threatened Donald Trump's incoming Department of Justice on Monday, claiming that any move to investigate the now-defunct January 6th committee would be "sanctionable conduct." The statement, put out in response to Trump's recent "Meet the Press" interview, also denied allegations that she and her colleagues destroyed evidence.

While speaking to NBC News' Kristen Welker, the president-elect said the following.

“Cheney did something that’s inexcusable, along with Thompson and the people on the un-select committee of political thugs and, you know, creeps,” the President-elect said, referring to Mississippi Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (the committee’s chairman). “They deleted and destroyed all evidence.”

That triggered Cheney, who lashed out, stating that Trump committed the "worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation's history."


“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” she said in a statement. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.”

She continued: “This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”

As to her threats, they are toothless. The Trump DOJ should investigate what happened with the January 6th committee. It should find out how much evidence was altered and destroyed in what was a clear abuse of power and a waste of taxpayer money. That's what people voted for in November. They didn't vote for the status quo. They voted for change and accountability. Cheney, who campaigned with Kamala Harris, can cope and seeth about it.
