Liz Cheney Lied on National TV About Being the "Ranking Member" On Nancy Pelosi's Sham J6 Panel

Mollie @MZHemingway

Holy crap! Liz Cheney just falsely claimed she is the ranking member -- the top representative of the GOP caucus -- on the J6 committee. In fact, she was hand-selected by Nancy Pelosi and Is NOT the ranking member. Huge, huge legal implications associated with this lie.

House rules require consultation as far as subpoenas and depositions with the "ranking members" of a committee, meaning, the most senior members appointed by the Republicans and the Democrats.

So who is the Republican ranking member on January 6th committee?

Liz Cheney lied and said she was.

But what Republican appointed her?

None. None Republicans.

She was appointed by the Democrat Nancy Pelosi. She is the Democrat Vice-Chair.

The committee has no Republican ranking member, so almost everything it does is improper and against House rules.

And the bloated supposed Queen of Integrity lied to the country about that, to cover up the fact that the committee is acting without a proper foundation in House rules, and without any actual Republican representation.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney ran to CNN a few weeks ago to accuse conservative stalwart Rep. Jim Banks of falsely presenting himself as the Jan. 6 commission's ranking member. Banks is, in fact, congressional Republicans' choice to be their top investigator on the committee, but he has been prevented from fulfilling his duties by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

However, it's Cheney who appears to be misrepresenting herself as the ranking member -- that is, the top Republican -- on the committee.

January 6 Select Committee staff have been falsely telling witnesses that Republican staff will be present for interviews, according to multiple eyewitness sources and documents. In fact, not a single Republican-appointed member of Congress nor a single staff member representing the Republican conference is part of the controversial committee.

Witnesses are being told that John Wood, a longtime friend and ally of the Cheney family, will represent Republicans when witnesses testify. But neither Cheney nor her friend is representing the Republican conference. In fact, Cheney was appointed to the committee in early July by Pelosi herself.

John Wood works for the Democrat Party, just like Liz Cheney, who was appointed by Pelosi and is not the Ran"king Member of the Select Committee. She is misleading witnesses, before they testify under penalty of law, about the motives and the position of the person questioning them," said Banks, who has continued leading Republicans' investigation of the federal government's handling of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

Liz Cheney was given six days to explain if and why she believes she is the ranking Republican member on the committee. She has refused to answer.

The House's rules specify a wide range of guarantees and requirements, such as "Consultation with the ranking minority member shall include three days' notice before any deposition." None of these rules are being followed, because Liz Cheney is fraudulently posing as the Republicans' appointed ranking member.

"If this was a real investigation, that'd land you in jail for prosecutorial misconduct," Banks said of the false representation. "Fortunately for Liz, this is a sham investigation," he added.

Please do read Mollie's full article. It's a good 'un. I never heard about this issue until she brought it up.

Below, Liz Cheney's lie on this issue. But just before that, I have the clip cued up to where she explains the reason she's been ejected from the Wyoming Republican Party-- because there are a lot of "extremists" in Wyoming.

No wonder she thinks Wyoming values are so "extreme" -- she's barely ever visited the state.
