New in PJ Media:
They’ve got him now! The walls are closing in! Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Establishment), one of the foremost Trump-haters in Congress, announced Sunday on CNN that the rabidly partisan witch-hunters of the Jan. 6 Committee have the goods on Donald Trump to the extent that they can actually bring criminal charges against him. In light of the fact that we have been hearing for years that the walls are closing in on Donald Trump and his total discrediting and ruin is near, it would be wise to take Cheney’s latest salvo against this man she hates with such passionate intensity with a full shaker or two of salt.
One of the foremost propaganda organs for the Democrat Party and the hard-Left, the New York Times, reported Sunday that “The leaders of the House committee investigating the Capitol attack have grown divided over whether to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department of former President Donald J. Trump, even though they have concluded that they have enough evidence to do so, people involved in the discussions said.”
Jake Tapper asked Cheney on CNN: “Is that true? Do you have enough evidence to refer Trump for criminal charges?”
Cheney replied: “Well, we have not made a decision about referrals on the committee. I think that it is absolutely the case, it’s absolutely clear that what President Trump was doing, what a number of people around him were doing, that they knew it was unlawful. They did it anyway.” Actually, that’s not clear at all. Cheney conveniently ignores the fact that in his speech to protestors on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump said: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Peaceful protest is not unlawful in the United States, and there is nothing else that the Jan. 6 Committee can reasonably charge Trump with calling for or inciting. But “reasonably” is the key word in that sentence; the Jan. 6 Committee is made up of pillars of Washington establishment politics, all of whom have a burning hatred for Trump; there is no indication that they have any interest in being reasonable.
Cheney, however, found the criminal conduct elsewhere. She continued: “I think you certainly saw that in the decision that was issued by Judge Carter a few weeks ago, where he concluded that it was more likely than not that the president of the United States was engaged in criminal activity.” She was referring to U.S. District Court Judge David Carter’s statement in late March: “Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” when he pressed claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich called Carter’s decision an “absurd and baseless ruling by a Clinton-appointed Judge in California.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

This throwback from the Cheney Family Cartel is really pissed off at Trump because he called her Father out on his lies about so many things, Iraq being one of the big ones, where so many people died needlessly, and she has that bug up her backside in order to get hugs and kisses from Daddy, which reminds me of the actions of Dubya wanting the approval of Daddy way back then, and so Liz and Dubya are just two more morons suffering from a deep case of the TDS Virus…
Trump knows where all the bodies are buried and they know that he knows and they cant deal with that as he will expose them ALL, so they feel the very strong need to drag him down so he cannot win in 2024, however the more they try the more people will see through their bullshit.

Blah-blah-blah. This is more of the fake and breathless Russia-Russia-Russia narrative. “We have him now!” they crow for weeks and months on end. Only, they haven’t got him.
There was never a conspiracy to overturn Congress. There was an outburst of civil disobedience … but the misguided protesters forgot that only BLM-Marxists and Antifa Trotskyists have a right to do civil disobedience.
No one brought a rocket launcher to the Jan. 6 protest. It was no ‘insurrection’ and Donald Trump never called for civil disobedience. He wanted a peaceful protest and said so. He acted responsibly in a very emotionally charged situation. Over 40% of Americans still believe that the 2020 elections were stolen by Zuckerberg and others who donated hundreds of millions to swing the vote by every means fair or foul.
The 2020 elections will eventually be revealed as the greatest electoral fraud in US history and one that was planned, approved and orchestrated from the top levels of the DNC on down. Old Creepy Joe was in on it.

From what we have seen down here Mortimer, that’s pretty much spot on.
The skewed reporting was so obvious the Ray Charles could have seen it on one of his bad days.
Don McKellar says
When you look at the record of accomplishments under Trump, just an honest list, and have another list of all the people and institutions who opposed and obstructed him at every turn, it’s really awe inspiring. He really is one of the top three or four presidents the United States ever had. And hopefully will again. America and the world, quite frankly, desperately, so very desperately, need him.
James Lincoln says
Don,
Pres. Trump (our real Pres.) was certainly one of the best presidents that the United States every hand.
Exactly the right person – for the right time.

Liz Cheney is indeed a loathsome creature. And the entire January 6th committee is a farce but it is a farce with perhaps a good bit of power. Considering all the good Trump did as President—energy independence, low gas prices and low inflation all around, the only leader in the world to take on China over its tariff policies and currency manipulation, getting Mexico to keep illegals (and yes they are illegals) on its side of the border, renegotiating NAFTA with the much better deal, USMCA, making NATO members pay more, pulling out of the putrid Iran nuclear deal and Paris Climate Accord, having Qasem Soleimani and Abu Bakr killed, eradicating ISIS, moving America’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, getting some Gulf states to seriously consider having relations with Israel, et al.—the January 6th committee is something I look upon as almost traitorous, never mind its many histrionic members. Yes, indeed, hatred of Trump goes very deep and it is engaged in by lesser human beings—no exceptions, including of course the despicable Cheney.

The Left has short memories: I just wonder how they’d react if we played them back footage from the 00s where they’d constantly scream ‘Halliburton’ whenever her dad’s name came up?

The likes of Liz cheny and Nancy Pelosi are hell-bent on bringing these trumped up charges on Trump.
Ugly Sid says
Bills of Attainer being Constitutionally forbidden, the purported “committee” lacks the required legislative purpose.
They don’t care, of course. As the most investigated man in American history is silenced, the Left goats that destruction of freedom is required to adequately defend democracy.
Substitute the word “hegemony” for “democracy”.
