Joe Biden gave Liz Cheney a get-out-of-jail-free card in the form of a Presidential pardon that prevents her from being held accountable for any unlawful actions of the January 6 Committee.
But she just realized that her pardon might not be enough to save her from the truth.
And Liz Cheney knows that this rumored sex scandal may just bring her world crashing down.
The final nail in Cheney’s political coffin?
In one of his few actually praise-worthy actions since succeeding former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA) in October 2023, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (RINO-LA) recently established a new House subcommittee to investigate actions taken by members of Democrats’ January 6 Committee amidst numerous reports and rumors of potential abuses and outright criminal activity.
“House Republicans are proud of our work so far in exposing the false narratives peddled by the politically motivated January 6 Select Committee during the 117th Congress, but there is still more work to be done,” Johnson wrote in a statement announcing the subcommittee’s creation. “We are establishing this Select Subcommittee to continue our efforts to uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people.”
The new subcommittee will pick up where Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s (R-GA) House Administration Subcommittee left off with their investigation into Democrats’ January 6 Committee’s actions, and Loudermilk will also continue leading the effort.
Loudermilk’s initial investigation has already unearthed evidence indicating that the January 6 Committee suppressed the testimony of former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Tony Ortega, who testified – in opposition to the Committee’s preferred narrative – that in spite of Democrats’ fabricated narrative, Trump had, in fact, offered to deploy 10,000 National Guardsmen to the Capitol prior to January 6 to ensure the day’s events didn’t get out of control, but was rebuffed by Washington, D.C. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Furthermore, that investigation also uncovered evidence of potential witness tampering crimes committed by disgraced former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) in arranging for the testimony of former White House intern turned Democrats’ “star witness,” Cassidy Hutchinson.
According to her original attorney in the matter, Stefan Passantino, Hutchinson claimed at the start of the process to not know anything relevant to Democrats’ January 6 Committee’s investigation, and merely expressed her desire to comply with her subpoena and move on with life.
In fact, Passantino told Tucker Carlson in a November 2024 interview that Hutchinson gave Democrats’ January 6 Committee some 15 hours of testimony in which she stated that she didn’t have any relevant information to share with them, and was privately merely concerned about ensuring she could secure another cushy job in Washington, D.C. after her involvement in the ordeal was completed.
But one day, Hutchinson magically decided to change her story out of the blue.
She proceeded to once again testify before Democrats’ January 6 Committee, claiming that then-President Trump had “attacked” a Secret Service agent driving his Presidential motorcade after being informed that they wouldn’t take him to the Capitol as protesters demonstrated outside the building on January 6 – even though the Secret Service agent in question openly testified that her claims were not rooted in anything resembling reality or facts.
The truth lies within these text messages
And according to Passantino, that change in story may have a lot to do with the fact that Cheney was apparently directly communicating with Hutchinson behind her attorney’s back.
“It only happened subsequently that I learned that while I was representing [Hutchinson], Liz Cheney was communicating with her behind my back while I was her lawyer,” Passantino told Carlson. “That’s a Lawyer 101 thing that you’re just not allowed to do.”
It’s worth noting that Passantino’s blunt accusation against Cheney opened himself up to legal action if there was any possible chance he could have been found libel for slandering or defaming the disgraced former Congresswoman – yet, he’s faced no such action or even threats or such action, leading some to believe his allegation is rooted in fact.
According to The Washington Post, Rep. Loudermilk’s original investigation into Democrats’ January 6 Committee sought to call Hutchinson to testify while also subpoenaing her text messages in order to investigate the allegations of witness tampering against Cheney.
But as The Post noted, that effort was apparently blocked by Speaker Johnson and his RINO lackeys in an effort to supposedly prevent Hutchinson from repeating her testimony out of fear that she would somehow “embarrass” the Trump White House by re-stating her completely debunked and discredited claims, even though doing so would open her up to perjury charges.
Of course, the idea that such justifications are Johnson’s actual motivations for crushing an investigation into seemingly credible allegations of witness tampering against Cheney strains credulity.
As a result, some believe Johnson’s decision to block Rep. Loudermilk from subpoenaing Hutchinson was motivated by a fear that such disclosure could reveal “sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors.”
You see, in her money grab of a book, Hutchinson claimed that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) – who, despite facing past debunked allegations of sexual misconduct that were fabricated by Democrats, does have quite the reputation for having been a notorious serial dater prior to his marriage – had previously tried to “hit on her” on occasion.
Gaetz may have to take one for the team
But Gaetz has denied those allegations, pointing out that Hutchinson’s credibility had already been destroyed by her debunked testimony prior to her book’s release, and claiming that while such interactions never occurred as Hutchinson described, the two did once “date for a few weeks.”
“I don’t remember these events and based on Cassidy’s prior false statements, I doubt they occurred,” Gaetz said in a statement at the time. “I did date Cassidy for a few weeks when we were both single years ago. We parted amicably and remained friends thereafter even during President Trump’s post[-]presidency.”
For her part, though, Hutchinson claims she “never dated” Gaetz.
“I will say on behalf of myself I never dated Matt Gaetz,” Hutchinson previously told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
Ultimately, if establishment RINOS like Speaker Johnson would get out of the way and allow investigators to get to the truth, and hold anyone necessary accountable for their misdeeds, this could end up being quite the mess for both Cassidy Hutchinson and Liz Cheney – even if Gaetz’ past philandering is “exposed” as collateral damage.
Unlike Cheney, Hutchinson was never pardoned by former President Joe Biden on his way out of office.
Therefore, if Hutchinson is subpoenaed to testify and turn over her text messages, she could very find herself in a major perjury trap as repeating her previously debunked testimony would present the opportunity for Congressional investigators to charge her with perjury for lying under oath.
But once again changing her story, even if it’s to simply recant her debunked testimony, could also lead to perjury charges for having told the debunked story in the first place.
And that doesn’t even begin to touch on the possibility that her text messages could expose that she was actually communicating – and possibly even coordinating her debunked testimony – with January 6 Committee member Liz Cheney, which could lead to her facing also sorts of additional charges, like obstruction of justice, or potentially even conspiracy to defraud Congress.
As for Cheney, she’s not out of the woods either – her Presidential pardon wouldn’t protect her if Loudermilk’s new Committee ultimately calls her to testify about her interactions with Hutchinson and their text messages show she lied about it under oath.
But in the end, none of this matters if Mike Johnson and his lackeys don’t stop blocking Barry Loudermilk from subpoenaing Cassidy Hutchinson’s text messages.
