    … an excerpt from the book, detailing a phone call made two days before the deadly Capitol attacks in which the former president’s legal team allegedly discussed the fake elector scheme. Cheney, who noted that Trump’s attorneys were unaware that she was listening in on the call, also observed that former Vice President Mike Pence was acting in cooperation with the plans at that time.

      That definitely corroborates about his text message that he claims was, “missing a comma.” Pence was all for until he realized Trump actually didn’t have anything under control and would throw Pence under the bus. No loyalty amongst Trump’s loyalists.

      And instead of telling anyone she sat on it, for her book.

      This country is fucked.

      Her dad shot a guy in the face, and a week later the guy apologized to him.

        We usually don’t evaluate someone’s reasonableness based on things their dad did. Not this millennium anyway. Perhaps there’s something from her own political career.

    I’m not too familiar with Liz Cheneys actions before the insurrection, did she do anything to try and stop it happening or just sit back, watch and write a book later?

      She was actively and strongly against Trump during his whole term and it costed her Wy. senate seat. Agreed though, if she had over heard this why didn’t she raise the alarm.

      Answer: because she’s a dirty, conservative Republican.

        But not so against Trump that she would actually vote against him or anything, right? Cheney may make a show of opposing Trump, but she still supported the policies that he did while he was in office.

        Cheney came to Washington in 2016, along with Donald Trump. Didn’t like him, she said, but she supported his policies on issues like abortion and gun control. She voted with him more than 90 percent of the time.

          For sure, those are lodestone issues. I think at this point Trump is the only person who could break from those and still be considered a Republican. Cheney was a loyal Republican, but not loyal to Trump. No pity for her though and I want the whole party to go down in flames.

        I don’t remember her being actively and strongly against Trump prior to Jan 6th. Wasn’t she number 3 in the house leadership before Jan 6th? Her stance that Trump attempted a coup is what lost her seat.

      She’s still a Republican. She doesn’t want to sink the party she just wants a different leader, but she’s happy with all the trade-offs the GOP has made to get the loyalty Trump has from his base. Just get rid of Trump and keep the spoils.

    It’s a good thing she told all of the right people that this happened so that we could avoid an obvious coup and threat to the constitution that she swore an oath to protect…

    Amirite, guys?!?

    Why did the room get so quiet?

    Why didn’t she say anything to anybody before Jan 6?!

      Says she went to the Senate parliamentarian. The fake electors were denied access to the building. Don’t know if this was because they were given a heads up.
