For nearly two years, the House Administration Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight has been investigating the failures and shortcomings of both the Jan. 6 Capitol riot of 2021 and the highly partisan, explicitly anti-Trump, and now-defunct House Select Committee on Jan. 6.

The Subcommittee just released a lengthy report of its findings that are not only damning of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vehemently anti-Trump vice chair of the Select Committee, but also called for her to be investigated for alleged crimes and ethical violations, The Hill reported.

Cheney is alleged to have violated various House Rules and ethics guidelines with her work on the committee and stands accused of engaging in blatant illegalities like witness tampering and suborning perjury.

House Rules and ethics guidelines violated by committee

In it's 128-page report, the Subcommittee, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), first outlined how then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) violated multiple House Rules in the formation of the committee and appointment of then-Rep. Cheney as its vice chair in place of a ranking minority member.

That position of semi-authority was then exploited by Cheney to, for all intents and purposes, hijack the committee and steer it toward her shared purpose with Pelosi -- establishing a contrived and false narrative that former President Donald Trump was solely responsible for the violence that ultimately ensued from the protest-turned-riot in and around the U.S. Capitol building.

To achieve that anti-Trump goal, Cheney worked closely, allegedly in violation of ethics guidelines and federal statutes, with former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who became the Select Committee's star witness despite providing provably false and unreliable second-hand testimony about Trump's supposed actions and mood and thoughts on that fateful day.

Cheney violated ethical guidelines and federal statutes in interactions with Hutchinson

According to the Subcommittee's report, Hutchinson initially provided the Select Committee with two interviews that went nowhere but then began to make wild and easily debunked claims against former President Trump in subsequent interviews and live testimony after engaging in private communications, absent her attorney, with then-Rep. Cheney.

Those backdoor communications, arranged via former White House employee Alyssa Farah Griffin, resulted in Hutchinson firing her first attorney -- who'd been provided to her free of charge by Trump's team -- and hiring new attorneys on the advice of Cheney, which suggest collusion and ethics violations.

It is further alleged that Cheney helped coach Hutchinson with her accusations against Trump and elevated her negative testimony while simultaneously downplaying, ignoring, or even hiding testimony from others that contradicted or disproved Hutchinson's dishonest account of events.

Cheney should be criminally investigated

"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 concluded. "Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge."

"This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512," the report continued. "Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause."

The report also called on the FBI to "investigate Representative Cheney for violating 18 U.S.C. 1622, which prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury. Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, Hutchinson committed perjury when she lied under oath to the Select Committee."

Trump and Cheney react to report

In response to the Subcommittee's findings, President-elect Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, "Liz Cheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee, which states that 'numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, and these violations should be investigated by the FBI.' Thank you to Congressman Barry Loudermilk on a job well done."

Of course, The Hill reported that ex-Rep. Cheney also reacted to the damning report with a statement that unsurprisingly attacked Trump and Loudermilk and sought to discredit the findings as mere allegations that "do not reflect a review of the actual evidence, and are a malicious and cowardly assault on the truth. No reputable lawyer, legislator or judge would take this seriously."
