The Justice Department should not avoid prosecuting Donald Trump in relation to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack if a prosecution is warranted, Rep. Liz Cheney said in an interview with ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. While bringing charges against the former president -- who may challenge President Joe Biden in 2024 -- would be unprecedented and "difficult" for the country, not doing so would support a "much graver constitutional threat," Cheney said Wednesday in an interview at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library that aired Sunday on "This Week." "Are you worried about what that means for the country, to [see] a former president prosecuted? A former president who was a likely candidate; who may in fact be running for president against Biden?" Karl asked Cheney.
"I think it's a much graver constitutional threat if a president can engage in these kinds of activities, and the majority of the president's party looks away; or we as a country decide we're not actually going to take our constitutional obligations seriously," Cheney said. "I think that's a much, a much more serious threat." "I really believe we have to make these decisions, as difficult as it is, apart from politics. We really have to think about these from the perspective of: What does it mean for the country?" she said. Cheney said during last week's hearing that some witnesses had told investigators Trump aides attempted to influence their testimony before the panel. Hutchinson was among those to receive messages about protecting the former president, sources later told ABC News. "Witness tampering is a crime. Are you making a criminal referral to DOJ on this?" Karl asked. "We'll make a decision as a committee about that," Cheney replied.
Geezuz. This woman sure knows what side her bread is buttered.Not prosecuting Trump for Jan. 6 would fuel a 'much graver threat,' Liz Cheney says
My views on this align perfectly with those of Ms. Cheney. If there exists enough tangible evidence to prosecute, then do it. I think Donald Trump is vulnerable to at least five different criminal charges relating to J6.
It seems an aide to former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows sent a coercive note to J6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson. The scope of the witness tampering laws are broad and all are felonies.
Multiple criminal referrals of Trump possible, Cheney says
Biden neverGeezuz. This woman sure knows what side her bread is buttered.
If she was going after the Biden crime family as arduously she wouldn't be getting this attention, would she.
Don't be too sure about that. If he is going to bring a case, it had better be airtight. Evidence and witness are still coming forward.She's right. But Garland is too big a coward to prosecute Trump.
We'll see what he does once the hearings are finished and all the evidence is turned over to the DOJ. One can see a half dozen prosecutable offenses just watching the hearings. But naysayers are always coming up with this "It goes to his state of mind" bullsh*t. "Did he know he was committing a crime when he encouraged rioters to storm the capitol, when he tried to get a secretary of state to turn votes in Georgia his way instead of Biden, when he tried to bribe Zelensky to get dirt on Biden, when he stood by watching the rioters tear the Capitol apart and refused to sent help, when he agreed that Pence should be hung because "he deserves it"? I mean come on! Nobody would be prosecuted under that standard.Don't be too sure about that. If he going to bring a case, it had better be airtight. Evidence and witness are still coming forward.
Garland is corrupt, but he's not stupid.Don't be too sure about that. If he is going to bring a case, it had better be airtight. Evidence and witness are still coming forward.
Garland doesn't need Hutchinson or the story about the incident in the SUV. What happened was Trump being his jerky self but that is not a criminal act and Garland isn't the least bit interested in it. Don't forget Meadows et al don't get to say no to subpoenas from a grand jury like they have done with the Committee......they just get to plead the 5th.Garland is corrupt, but he's not stupid.
There's no way he's going to take Trump to court and trot out Hutchinson so she can say that she was told something by someone who was told something by someone who saw and experienced something and then watch the defense trot out the guy she says told her something...and he denies telling her anything...and trot out the guy she says saw and experience something...and he denies seeing or experiencing anything...and then they bring in ANOTHER guy who was there and HE says nothing happened.
And that pretty much sums up the basis of the entire dog and pony show narrative. Spin, speculation, hyperbole, innuendo and lies. A prosecutor would have to be a blithering idiot to take that nonsense to court...and Garland isn't an idiot.

Although I think it would be a good thing to charge and put Trump on trial, I don’t think most Americans care about this except Democrats and avid anti-Trumpers. What do I base this believe? First Trump has a higher favorable rating among all Americans than other elected officials.Not prosecuting Trump for Jan. 6 would fuel a 'much graver threat,' Liz Cheney says

Do you think there's something I need to see? Present it.You didn't watch the hearing, did you?
Unlike the majority of Republicans, Cheney cares more about America than her seat in Congress.Geezuz. This woman sure knows what side her bread is buttered.
Give me a time mark for something significant.Sure.

Elections are, however.Rule of Law isn't a popularity contest.
