Liz Cheney at forefront of hollow Jan. 6 war : Devine
It must be nice to be Liz Cheney these days. There she is sitting on the
Jan. 6 committee with her fellow GOP turncoat, Adam “Crybaby” Kinzinger,
surrounded by new Democrat friends who flatter her and pay her great
respect.
The New York Times just delivered a glowing profile of the Trump-hating
Wyoming congresswoman, claiming she has “emerged as a leader and central
figure,” is “known for drilling down into the details of the assignment”
and is “well-versed in the criminal code.”
Eric Swalwell quoted Cheney reverentially on CNN this week, too. Nancy
Pelosi butters her up with saccharine praise for her “courage” and
“patriotism.”
It’s fair to say that Pelosi has deputized Cheney to be the face of the
select committee, which ostensibly is investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol
riot. Adam “Steele Dossier” Schiff played a supporting role this week as
Cheney read aloud text messages of former Trump chief of staff Mark
Meadows as a prelude to charging him with contempt of Congress.
Don’t buy the myth that the committee is bipartisan just because it has
two Republicans on board. Cheney and Kinzinger were handpicked to be
useful idiots by the spitefully partisan, House Speaker. The committee was
illegitimate the minute Pelosi rejected Republicans Jim Jordan and Jim
Banks, who would at least have asked why the Capitol was left unprotected
on Jan. 6. Every Republican has rightly condemned the violence in the
Capitol, which was appalling.
Holes in Pelosi story
But why did Pelosi, via her sergeant at arms, reject repeated requests
from Capitol police chief Steven Sund for National Guard backup for his
overwhelmed troops, even after the building had been breached? What
Machiavellian games were at play that day? How can we ensure the Capitol
is never despoiled again?
We will never know because Pelosi’s committee is focused on a naked
search-and-destroy mission against its political enemies.
It was created for one reason, to denigrate and destroy Donald Trump and
his supporters, to buttress the toxic narrative led by the Great Unifier,
Joe Biden, that 75 million Trump voters are incipient domestic terrorists
and white supremacists.
Biden’s Democrats want to hound suspected Trump sympathizers out of
Congress, the military, Fox News and any other institution that dares to
harbor them.
Preferably they must be jailed. That’s the point of bringing criminal
contempt charges against Meadows and former White House strategist Steve
Bannon over their refusal to comply with subpoenas from Pelosi’s star
chamber, even though a court has yet to rule on whether Trump’s claims of
executive privilege extend to his former advisers.
The standards of integrity in the committee are so low that Schiff was
called out this week by The Federalist doctoring text messages between
Meadows and Rep. Jordan that he was reading aloud with theatrical
flourish, as he is wont to do.
The scalps claimed by the Committee seem to please the President. Hearing
the word “Meadows” emanating from the chirping press pack near his
helicopter on the South Lawn yesterday, Biden made a rare beeline to the
reporters.
Oh, yes, indeedy, Meadows was “worthy of being held in contempt,” he half
snarled-half gloated.
DC’s own ‘Gitmo’
You get the feeling the president would like nothing less than to see all
his detractors in jail, suffering the same fate as about 40 Jan. 6
defendants who still languish in pretrial detention in DC “Gitmo”, as
defense lawyer Joseph McBride calls the wretched prison a few miles from
the White House.
Jail conditions were slammed by a District Court judge as “deplorable” and
“beyond belief” in October when he ordered the transfer of a J6 defendant
who has not received treatment for cancer or surgery for a broken hand in
seven months.
Judge Royce Lamberth’s concern for the physical and mental deprivation of
J6 defendants is rare in Washington.
While BLM-Antifa rioters who set police stations ablaze during months of
rioting last year have had most of their charges dropped, J6 defendants
are still in jail. Most have no criminal record, and are not charged with
crimes of violence, yet they are locked in solitary confinement while
violent repeat offenders in places like New York are released back on the
street almost as soon as they are arrested to menace victims anew.
The J6ers are being treated with “unusual cruelty,” according to Rep.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the few politicians who has taken up their
cause.
Exhibit A: the deranged anti-Trump, anti-Republican, anti-white-man tweets
pumped out by the jail’s Deputy Warden Kathleen Landerkin, accused by
Greene this week of “torture and abuse of pre-trial defendants.”
Landerkin deleted her account, but her tweets live forever on the
Internet.
Vulgarities
“F–k everyone who supports Trump” was one example. She has also tweeted
puerile insults at Trump, like “mushroom d- -k.”
“The Trump family is a crime family and the GOP in [sic] complicit,” she
tweeted in 2019. “Schiff is a hero.”
“Trump is doing more damage to this country then [sic] foreign terrorists
ever have,” she tweeted last year.
She has called Republican members of Congress as “people who conspired
with traitors before and during the insurrection on 1/6/21.”
She describes herself as a “white female that works for social justice”
and tweeted that “white men are more dangerous than immigrants.”
She posted photographs of bumper stickers on her vehicle, including one
depicting Trump as a baby in a diaper.
Landerkin even boasted in a tweet that she had denied entry to Greene, and
GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert and Rep. Matt Gaetz when they tried to check on
conditions at the jail in July.
“That was me,” she gloated. “Another good story about the job.”
This woman controls every aspect of the daily lives of the J6 defendants
who are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
The fact she still has a job tells you everything about the dual standards
of justice in Washington, DC.
‘Tappan Zee’ fan: It’s Cuo-go time
The man who started a petition to restore the Tappan Zee bridge’s original
name says he has gathered 260,000 signatures. “That’s probably one of the
biggest mandates the state of New York has even ever seen,” says Monroe
Mann. “And the will of the people is still being ignored.” Now he says it
would be fitting to spend some of the $5 million book advance Andrew Cuomo
has been ordered to repay the state on new signs to replace the Cuomo
vanity ones.
“No one wants to be reminded of Cuomo (any Cuomo) every day on the commute
to work.”
Amen.
Draping failure in decor
The San Francisco Chronicle scored a rare one-on-one interview with Kamala
Harris, but all it could find to write about was her office decor. The VP
sells herself as a trailblazer for women, but it used to be that
concentrating on such frivolity was regarded as sexist. I guess when
there’s a border crisis you were supposed to fix any distraction will do.
