The January 6 Committee is running a Stalinesque show trial against Trump and his supporters.

Facts are stubborn things, as President John Adams famously said. He went on: "Whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." The Jan. 6 Committee Won't Be Intimidated

Cheney claims to be focused on just the facts, but what she's really "focused" on involve aiding and abetting the seizure of the cellphone records of more than one hundred American citizens.

  • It is unconstitutional for any congressional body to pursue criminal investigations, and the real purpose of the January 6 Committee is to explore better ways to keep the Capitol building secure and create policies that do so.

Cheney, incredibly, also says this:

  • The January 6 Committee is "focused on facts"? Really?. Really?
  • Here's a fact: House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy has the authority to appoint the Republican members of the committee.
  • His appointments of Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana were refused by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who then usurped McCarthy's authority and appointed Cheney and Kinzinger. Why? Because she and her fellow Democrats hate Trump.

Cheney has presented herself and the January 6 Committee as an impartial group of fact-finders.

  • By her own frequent admissions, Cheney is not even close to having an impartial view of Donald Trump. She has called Trump "unfit for office," "dangerous," a "threat," and someone who "clearly can never be anywhere near the Oval Office ever again."
  • Cheney has also offered this biased view on Trump's response to January 6: "We have a threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him."
