Attorney Jonathan Turley Points Out that Liz Cheney Says Her Show Trials Have Accumulated...

Liz Cheney is obtaining "confessions" in her show trial in DC.  This wicked woman is not after the truth which would show a total setup on Jan 6, she is after President Trump and anyone who supports him.

Attorney and Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley wrote on Friday:

J6 Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney has been criticized by critics for participating in a one-sided series of hearings devoid of alternative or dissenting views. Some have called it a "show trial" with members reading off teleprompters in tightly scripted and controlled hearings. As if to fulfill that show trial portrayal, Cheney ended the hearing this week by calling for more officials to come forward and noting that Trump family members and former officials have now come forward with their own public "confessions."

As with past hearings, the summation included a direct call by Cheney for voters to oppose Donald Trump in the coming election: "Can a President who is willing to make the choices Donald Trump made during the violence of January 6 ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again?" It is the type of pitch that is as unnecessary as it is counterproductive. Many voters tuned out the hearings weeks ago due to the absence of any balance in the presentation of evidence. To add direct political pitches only reduces the audience further. The result is that it is left telling largely Democratically aligned voters not to vote for Trump.

The alternative was to secure a larger audience by allowing more balance. It would not have altered the power of these accounts. It would have simply added greater credibility to the proceedings. It could have changed minds rather than just reaffirm preexisting views. Instead, once again, the Committee simply edited out conflicting evidence. For example,  the Committee again edited out the line of Trump where he said "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
