Liz Cheney in January 6 Capitol Riot

On Crime: Privilege claims suggest Trump personally involved

"It appears that Mr. Bannon had substantial advance knowledge of the plans for Jan. 6 and likely had an important role in formulating those plans. Mr. Bannon was in the war room at the Willard on January 6. He also appears to have detailed knowledge regarding the president's efforts to sell millions of Americans the fraud that the election was stolen. Mr. Bannon's and Mr. Trump's privilege arguments do however appear to reveal one thing: They suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6. And this committee will get to the bottom of that."

What Cheney is saying is that [invoking executive privilege] by Bannon and Trump are suggestions that both men did things in the run-up to the riot at the US Capitol (and on the day of the insurrection) they are trying to hide.

On Government Reform: Trump is at war "with the rule of law and the Constitution"

"Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics or will we look away from the danger and the threat, embrace the lies and enable the liar?" Cheney asked. "There is no gray area when it comes to that question, when it comes to this moment. There is no middle ground."

Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection. Her fierce criticism of Trump and her insistence that Congress investigate the Capitol attack resulted in her being removed from her position as GOP conference chair and led to a serious primary challenge back home.

On Homeland Security: Calling Jan. 6 a "false flag" is un-American dangerous lie

CHENEY: None at all. You know, it's the same kind of thing that you hear from people who say that 9/11 was an inside job, for example. It's un-American to be spreading those kinds of lies. And they are lies. To call it a false flag operation, to spread those kinds of lies is really dangerous.

On Principles & Values: Removed from House leadership for criticizing Trump & Jan. 6

Cheney's removal, which was widely expected, likely marks the end of her rise in the Republican Party. Still, after [the removal] vote, Cheney appeared undeterred, telling reporters the nation needs a strong GOP--and that she plans to lead it.

[Before the removal vote], Cheney pointedly accused Trump of fomenting the deadly insurrection. Cheney added: "I will not sit back and watch in silence, while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president's crusade to undermine our democracy."
