Does Liz Cheney know something?
I get the impression that Liz Cheney may have heard or seen something that indicates that trump and/or other repug leaders helped plan and organize the Jan 6 attack on Congress.
Of course this already seems very likely to most members of DU, just based on circumstantial evidence.
But cheney may have gotten more specific information from her private interactions with other repugs. At the time of the attack, she was part of the house republican leadership, and other repugs had no reason to distrust her. She could have heard something specific about preparations or plans being made to try to disrupt the process of certifying Biden's victory.
Here is a quote from news media reports about an exchange cheney had with jim jordan during the attack:
Quote:
While these maniacs are going through the place, I’m standing in the aisle and he said "We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you." I smacked his hand away and told him, ‘Get away from me. You f---ing did this.'"

Cheney has also made other statements that suggest to me that she thinks the attack was planned and organized in advance. For example,
Quote:
Cheney, who said that the committee's investigation is "not a game" and "deadly serious," said that the panel could subpoena McCarthy and Trump, but that “the committee will go wherever we need to go to get the facts.”

Of course all of this is speculation on my part. It's just that I've been very surprised by how angry cheney is, and how determined she is to pursue the investigation. Does she know something that we don't?

involved in during his career, I've often been struck by how little political assassination happens in the U.S., especially given the dreadful people and extremism that've taken over the GOP.
So far. I believe you must be right that they "would gladly," but best guess is they're still constrained by not yet having the power to make sure they couldn't be held accountable.
So maybe the danger Liz et al worry about is still in the form of the violent mobs and undirected lone-actor attacks their "colleagues" are stirring up. The old phrase for RW efforts to incite during Obama's first term, "trolling for assassins," comes to mind. Actually sending one would be a very big, new step, especially for their cowardly leader.
Until now, trolling for violence, pushing along death row executions, abandoning minority allies to genocide in foreign lands, and encouraging his loyalists to join super-spreader events seem to have been tRump's level.
suggestions in private that he be "rid" him of troublesome priests, agree he must have, also that much more'll be known and documented than we know.
Good grief just remembering his many public calls for illegal actions to his rally crowds. 
unforgiving, it really stood in sharp contrast to the usual mumblebullshitgaslight we hear from GOPees anymore.
I shall up my optimism by three notches today, thanks to you!! 
Especially about Mangy Traitor Greene. She's obviously in a panic, and so is Gaetz.
Speaking of which, if either she or child raper Gaetz had a lick of sense, they'd hoth be laying as low as possible rather than drawing attention to themselves with that clown show of a presser they staged.
and had the same thoughts about Cheney, especially what she said to Jordan.
... don't know about Biden, but Liz and Pelosi must have a private communication method. I believe they mapped out the entire committee assignment story before the announcements. I don't think Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi would make public committee offers and acceptances without privately knowing the outcome, well before we know. They don't suffer fools gladly...
