Hemingway: Liz Cheney Weaponizes Jan. 6 Committee Against Primary Opponent
I begin to think the Bush-Republicans are actually worse than their Rockefeller-Republican predecessors. The Rockies openly admitted their liberalism; the Bushies spout conservative rhetoric while doing everything they can to advance the Democrat agenda, and make money for themselves in the process. Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney not only eagerly signed onto Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Inquisition, but she is now apparently leveraging the Committee’s Subpoena Power to harass her primary opponent. (From: The Federalist)
On Tuesday, the committee on which Cheney serves as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked vice chair unveiled subpoenas for three advisers to the Trump family. Andrew Surabian and Arthur Schwartz, who’ve advised Donald Trump Jr., and Ross Worthington, who played a role in drafting President Donald Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, were each called to hand over documents and testify before the committee between Jan. 31 and Feb. 2.
Surabian, who is advising the Wyoming Values Political Action Committee (PAC) in support of Cheney’s primary challenger attorney Harriet Hageman, had no involvement with the White House protest that the probe has sought to conflate with the violence at the Capitol.
This seems like a dirty trick from a desperate politician, and it is, but to put it in perspective, the Bush-Republicans also used September 11th as an excuse to start a war with a country that had nothing to do with the terrorist attack, doubled the national debt while preaching “fiscal responsibility,” and sold out working-class American prosperity to China under the guise of “Free Trade.” Using a taxpayer-funded Congressional Committee to harass a primary opponent for a Congressional seat is small potatoes.
If Wyoming voters decide to turn her out, she could always run for Congress from her home district in Northern Virginia.

When has Gary ever had a conversation?
He starts way too many rhetorical points that he’s not going to follow up on.
Were any of these guys charged today part of the seventy or so political prisoners already in jail or were they at home?
In jail except for Epps who is an Oath Keeper and he wasn’t charged.
Double check this, but these are the guys that only had their guns in their cars or something. Effectively no weapons.
I saw a never Trumper guy that got wind of this. He was saying that Trump was hoping for some chaos that he could capitalize on. He has some theory like that. Nobody thought of that before today of course. But anyway Trump was running these guys somehow.
The Bush’s aren’t Liberal but they are for the permanent bureaucracy
This is very good on Ray Epps and the dynamics of the January 6 committee.
