is warning political consultants they must choose between working for representative liz cheney or mccarthy, an ultimatum that marks the full rupture between the two house republicans. jeff miller, a lobbyist and confidante of cheney s dating back, has conveyed this us or her strategist in recent weeks prompting one fund-raising firm to disassociate itself from liz cheney and looming over the eight other republicans who voted to find steve bannon in contempt on thursday are putting the expresident who is trying to put the big lie at the center of whatever it is these days. the nine republicans in now in peril of becoming political pariahs. they have opened themseves up to primary challengers and partisan attacks from their party s king maker, donald
over that he needed to find the thousands of votes where he was short which i also think amounts to a federal crime. i was heartened to hear that the attorney general did say that he is prohibited from charging a president while they are in office. but he made the distinction that donald trump or any president, once they are out of office, could be investigated. we should assume if i hear any complaints from my constituents it is often about attorney general garland. what i tell them is that you should assume when he took office there was almost no investigations that had taken place into donald trump or those around him because bill barr protected him. all i ask, follow the facts, follow the law. if he has broken the law, he needs to be held to account. you are confident based on his responses, that that will be the case? yes. i can t say that that means donald trump is going to be
tells lies, incites his viewers, and he knows what they are capable of because so many of the people who attacked the capitol on january 6th were making the case that tucker carlson had been making on fox news, and that donald trump had been making, and the fbi affidavits so many of the insurrectionists were citing trump, and they were citing what they were hearing from fox news as the reason that they stormed the capitol and committed violence against officers. heent doesn t have to be the one who carries out the violence himself. he has powerful sway over so many millions of americans. if he is not responsible with that, we are going to see violence more violence, in our country. he does have a huge audience. just on the cable news side, it s impressive. but you are right about what he does with it. i guess my last question for you is when you text him, what does he write back? he didn t respond when i wrote bac i wasn t going to
the memorandum that you are talking about is limited to acts while another person was in office. that s all i can say. should that decision be made only after an investigation takes place, rather than deciding beforehand, a general principle of we re not going to investigate a former president at all? would you agree that if there are facts, those should be looked at? again, you are pushing me very close to a line that i do not intend to cross. we always look at the facts. and we always look at the law in any matter before making a determination. as a viewer, it sounded to me like you were asking him if the investigation into the insurrection leads him to donald trump s role, will he pursue the facts. was that the question? what did you understand the answer to be? yes, nicole. that and also the shakedown call to georgia to secretary of state raffensperger where he essentially pressed over and
what we have seen from this group of republicans is them paraback and tamp down their rhetoric and their truth telling on calling out donald trump explicitly for what they previously found to be abhorrent in his behavior. tim, there is something so stupid about this conversation. i take responsibility for us because i am leading it. but these are nine i am looking at these names. these are nine far-right conservative human beings. liz cheney, adam kinzinger, mayer, katko, mace, fitzpatrick, gonzalez, herrera butler. these why not prochoice anti-gorsuch pro gun safety republicans. these are proright wing conservatives, who will be vilified, who will have their funds cut off by jeff miller based on new york times reporting because they basically hit in a safe room with the likes of matt gaetz, the alleged
