(15,325 posts)Liz Cheney stated this about Trump as a fact of his actions, on the CNN interview along with Chairman Benny Thompson earlier.
She had stated this accusation against Trump back in December & again tonight.
I believe there are a couple degrees of dereliction, Cheney refers to the "Supreme" which would be the most severe, or the 1st degree.

She's sticking to it & she's correct.
I believe this is one of the certain charges they will make against Trump.
She has been adamently clear on it.

(15,325 posts)As proof begins to mount, it may be charged to another level.
By her saying this, right there on a TV interview & looking straight at the camera tonight, has to put a message of 'unease' out to Trump & his closest contributors.
She looked straight at the camera & right into Trump's TV screen. She was talking right at him.
"SUPREME DERELICTION OF DUTY, DONALD TRUMP! "You hear me?"

(10,429 posts)what we who have been scolded for impatience are impatient about? There should have been charges for the brazen blatant crimes, followed by additional charges as the investigations proceeded.
And I hope MF45 soaked his Depends today when Cheney spoke, and even more so when Biden was giving him the hell he deserves.

(1,487 posts)a more serious charge of obstruction of a federal procedure, namely the counting of electoral ballots.
Not sure if this was mentioned tonight on Lawrence or Ali Velshi.

(15,325 posts)Those Republican amateurs in in the House shouldn't have disrespected DICK CHENEY's KID.
Ya know, Liz sitting on the J6 comm, has the power to see that all 100 of those Cowards in the Legislature never hold office again.
She & the Committee could clean the place up nicely.

Remember I detest that war criminal Dick Cheney but I did love the metaphor.
