Trump Eviscerates ‘American Disaster’ Liz Cheney In Epic Takedown

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney may be gone, but she hasn’t been forgotten by former President Donald Trump, who on New Year’s Day excoriated the ex-lawmaker for conducting what he claims was a biased investigation into his statements around the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol.

In a post on Truth Social, the Republican leader lambasted “American Disaster Liz Cheney” for letting “TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)” get the best of her during Congress’s select committee investigations into J6.

She was allowed to “ILLEGALLY DELETE & DESTROY most of the evidence, and related items, from the January 6th Committee of Political Thugs and Misfits,” Trump wrote. “This act of extreme sabotage makes it impossible for my lawyers to properly prepare for, and present, a proper defense of their client, me,” he added in all caps.

As evidence, President Trump cites appeals he made to then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to present evidence that he called for additional security forces during the J6 riots but that the evidence is now “gone” thanks to Cheney. As a result, the Biden Justice Department’s J6 case should be tossed, he said.

“The ridiculous Deranged Jack Smith case on Immunity, which the most respected legal minds in the Country say I am fully entitled to, is now completely compromised and should be thrown out and terminated,” wrote Trump. “Just like the radical left lunatics did to the evidence!”

Since taking control of Congress last year, House Republicans have attempted to adjust the J6 narrative by releasing thousands of hours of security footage previously withheld by Cheney’s committee. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has promised to ramp up Congress’s investigation into the FBI’s involvement with protests that day, granting additional resources to Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) as his committee probes the slanted work by Cheney.

“We’ve uncovered a lot of evidence that is contrary to what they were telling us. There are not only flaws in their report; there are some flat-out lies in the report,” Rep. Loudermilk said of the select committee. “And the further we go down this path, the more that we’re uncovering. Probably one of the biggest things I think that we saw happen in the last year that we discovered had happened was the number of documents that were not preserved and were not passed along to our committee as the House Rules mandated.”

“We are going to find these documents. And the reason it’s important is because I believe it’s what’s in those documents, which is why they don’t want us to see it,” he told Just The News.

Cheney, who has toyed with launching a third-party presidential bid, formerly represented a conservative district in heavily pro-Trump Wyoming and lost her Republican primary campaign by more than 50 points after she made an all-out effort to tie the violence on J6 to President Trump. Republicans aren’t buying it as the party’s activists in Iowa, New Hampshire, and other early-voting states appear poised to elevate Trump over the rest of the GOP presidential field in short order.
