Liz Cheney Should Be Criminally Investigated For Her Corruption, Not Rewarded
President Joe Biden rewarded disgraced ex-Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney with one of the nation’s highest civilian honors on Thursday for her work undermining democracy through the illegally established and since-disbanded Jan. 6 Select Committee.
After sources close to Biden recently told The Washington Post he regretted that the Justice Department (DOJ) did not move more aggressively to jail top political opponents, Biden awarded Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal. He also gave the medal to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the House probe. The Presidential Citizens Medal is second only to the Presidential Medal of Freedom in prestige.

Fox News contributor Guy Benson reminded followers on X that Thompson, the long-time Mississippi lawmaker, “refused to certify George W. Bush’s 2004 victory in Ohio.”
According to Newsweek, Democrats also objected to more states in the 2016 election than Republicans did in 2020, but none faced criminal charges. Democrats on the Jan. 6 panel, however, referred Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution and successfully incarcerated former Trump advisers Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for their refusal to comply with requests from the partisan probe.
House Republicans who ran their own investigation into the Capitol riot and the ensuing cover-up for then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to deploy the National Guard issued an additional criminal referral from the Jan. 6 saga last month. The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, led by Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk, recommended that Cheney face a criminal probe from DOJ investigators for “witness tampering.” (Read more from “Liz Cheney Should Be Criminally Investigated For Her Corruption, Not Rewarded” HERE)
