Liz Cheney Referred For Criminal Prosecution

[DonGlock26]

Link is at bottom of the quote.

For Otto.

In dealing with the grand jury, the prosecutor must always conduct himself or herself as an officer of the court whose function is to ensure that justice is done and that guilt shall not escape nor innocence suffer. The prosecutor must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body, whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges. The prosecutor's responsibility is to advise the grand jury on the law and to present evidence for its consideration. In discharging these responsibilities, the prosecutor must be scrupulously fair to all witnesses and must do nothing to inflame or otherwise improperly influence the grand jurors.

Your post says the grand jury was investigating events. This is impossible per Otto105.

Following Smith's appointment he began his investigation, issued subpoenas, and had witnesses testify in front of the grand jury he convened. What's so complicated about this?

Like this?

Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy Pat Philbin testify before the federal grand jury investigating the events surrounding the Jan. 6, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.

Their appearances come after a judge rules against attorneys for Trump who had argued that testimony by Trump's former top White House aides was protected by executive privilege.

Timeline: Special counsel's probe into Trump's efforts to overturn 2020 election

Here's a look at how special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results has unfolded.

Trump grand jury hears testimony from aide who was with him on Jan. 6

The grand jury convened by special counsel Jack Smith is not expected to hear testimony from Trump, who said he received a letter notifying him he is a target in the probe.

Thanks for that timeline....from Jack Smith's illegal appointment by Xiden to:

June 28, 2024​

In a ruling, the Supreme Court limits the scope of a federal obstruction statute used by prosecutors to charge former President Trump as well as more than 300 defendants involved with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, a decision the DOJ says will affect about 52 cases.

July 1, 2024​

In a blockbuster decision, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that former President Trump is entitled to some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and sends the case back to the trial court to sort out which charges against him can stand -- effectively delaying any potential trial until after the November election.

Nov. 6, 2024​

Trump is reelected president of the United States, prompting special counsel Jack Smith to begin evaluating how to end his prosecution of Trump in both the election interference case and the classified documents case, sources tell ABC News.

Ask Otto. He doesn't believe the GJ's investigate crimes.

 

[berg80]

Ask Otto. He doesn't believe the GJ's investigate crimes.

From Otto..."A grand jury focuses on preliminary criminal matters only and assesses evidence presented by a prosecutor to determine whether there is “probable cause” to believe an individual committed a crime and should be put on trial."

He got it right. Looks like you're mischaracterizing what he said.

He had a problem with GJ investigations. You proved that GJ DO investigate. Thanks!!

For Otto.

There’s no evidence of a crime, so there will be no investigation.

 

[struth]

There’s no evidence of a crime, so there will be no investigation.

There has already been an investigation....and there has been a conclusion...hence why the criminal referal

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report states.

 

[otto105]

Well, did Liz have contact with the witness?

Why would it matter?

 

[Dragonlady]

Yes, we've had that for eight years now, even trying to take them off ballots. The Supreme Court had to step in more than once to stop the abuses of power.

The Supreme Court has now legalized bribery, corruption, and illegal acts, committed by a president in the performance of his duties. The current iteration of the Supreme Court was bought and paid for by Leonard Leo and his cohorts at the Federalist Society.

It has no credibility whatsoever.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course, the bribes offered to Hutchinson by Trump's lawyer constitutes the real witness tampering.

 

[otto105]

For Otto.

Yes fuckup, the prosecutor uses the police/FBI to investigate and gather evidence. Then, the prosecutor brings that evidence to the grand jury to help decide whether to bring charges. The grand jury doesn’t do the investigative work.

Why is that hard to understand?

There will be no DoJ investigation because their is no evidence of a crime.

The Republicans are either morons or liars.

It became corrupted the moment McTurtle said he would refuse to hold confirmation hearings for Garland.

 

[struth]

Why would it matter?

because when Liz did so corruptly -
otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

The United States Congress disagrees with you.


Liz will have the chance to show that by a preponderance of the evidence, that the conduct consisted solely of lawful conduct and that the Liz's sole intention was to encourage, induce, or cause the other person to testify truthfully

Considering the "new" testimony was a bunch of lies....that other witnesses confirmed were lies....it's going to be a up hill battle for Lizzy

The Republicans in Congress who made this claim are either liars or morons. Their report doesn’t substantiate their accusation.

There will be no investigation without any reasonable evidence to suggest she committed a crime. I’ve asked you repeatedly for the evidence she did anything illegal, and you’ve consistently stated you don’t have it and it doesn’t exist.

and it's repeatedly been provided. You, like Liz, just didn't like the evidence, and therefore are pushing a false narrative.

It's weird you dembots think that the US Senate engaging in their Constitution duties is corrupt.

 

[Godboy]

You can all let us know godboy when and where a ham sandwich has been indicted.

How about the old woman who was indicted and convicted to 2 years in prison for praying outside of an abortion clinic? Thats just one off the top of my head.
