President-elect Trump’s fixation on former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is escalating as he suggests she should be prosecuted for her work on the now-disbanded House Jan. 6 committee.
Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney speaking during a town hall with Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris at Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, Wisc., on Monday, Oct. 21, 2024. for her work on the January 6 Committee. A recent partisan report from a House Administration subcommittee was all Trump needed to place a target on her back on his Truth Social platform: “Liz Cheney has done egregious and unthinkable acts of crime.
The issue stems from the fact that Cheney spoke with a witness from the Trump White House and encouraged her to tell the truth. In fact, the aide in question,in the first instance to do exactly that. As Raskin points out: “It is not a crime in America to tell someone to testify truthfully. That’s the opposite of witness tampering … and, of course,did testify truthfully.
Unlike North Korea, the United States of America stands for robust debate and free speech. That is until a president-elect starts the drumbeat to lock up his political opponents. Lincoln knew that the preservation of the country was the only priority. He did not waste his time on revenge — even for those who bore arms against him and his cause. He sought to govern all his people “with malice toward none; with charity for all.”
