"Sleazy" Liz Cheney Loses It After Bombshell Report Claims She "Suppressed Exonerating Evidence" With J6 Committee

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (of the revolving door Haliburton --> White House --> war profiteer dynasty) came unglued this weekend following a report by The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway, which accuses Cheney and the January 6 committee of suppressing exonerating evidence of then-President Trump's push for 10,000 national guard troops to protect the nation's capital on the day of the Capitol riot.

To summarize The Federalist;

• Cheney and the J6 committee "falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops."

• In truth, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee "included precisely that evidence from a key source."

• That key source, Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato, said he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as needed to protect DC on Jan. 6.

• Ornato also testified that Trump suggested 10,000 troops to keep the peace at public rallies and protests scheduled for Jan. 6, 2021 - and that the White House was frustrated with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller's slow deployment of assistance on the day of the riot.

• Ornato's testimony was corroborated by Kash Patel, the former chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense.

• According to The Federalist, this information was suppressed.

Hemingway writes that the committee not only mischaracterized the interview, they also suppressed the transcript from public review. 

On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and even conspiracy theories about Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him. Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.

Cheney frequently points skeptics of her investigation to the Government Publishing Office website that posted, she said, “transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report.” That website provides “supporting documents” to the claims made by Cheney and fellow anti-Trump enthusiasts.

However, transcripts of fewer than half of the 1,000 interviews the committee claims it conducted are posted on that site. It is unclear how many of the hidden transcripts include exonerating information suppressed by the committee. -The Federalist

"The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative. Mr. Ornato’s testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along: President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down," said Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). Loudermilk's subcommittee is reviewing the work of the Jan. 6 committee following accusations of unethical behavior at the expense of accuracy, along with collusion with other Democrat efforts at political persecution.

Liz Loses it

On Saturday, conservative commentator Mark Levin called Cheney out, posting on X: "Sleazy Liz Cheney needs to receive some of the Stalinist medicine she introduced into the body politick against scores of patriotic Americans -- that is, she needs to be compelled to testify under oath about, among other things, what knowledge she may have about: possible witness tampering, censorship of exculpatory information and testimony, the destruction of committee evidence and data, etc."

Cheney responded, calling Mollie Hemingway a "bozo" - and directing people to various sections of the Jan. 6 report in which Secretary of Defense Miller (the guy who was 'slow to deploy' assistance) said Trump never ordered 10,000 troops, and that Kash Patel is "not a credible witness" (as determined by a judge with a conflict noted below).

Note that Cheney never addresses the suppression of information.

Cheney was dismantled in the replies:
