January 6 Staffers Annoyed With Liz Cheney, Have Had It With Her

Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who was defeated soundly in her reelection bid, is now facing backlash from staffers on the January 6 committee, Jonathan Turley said.

“There is a deepening division on the J6 Committee as staffers turn on Liz Cheney over the final report on the January 6th riot. Angry rhetoric is flying with staffers accusing the Committee of becoming a ‘Cheney 2024 campaign’ while both the Cheney spokesperson and Committee spokesperson lashed out at the staff members as ‘disgruntled’ and producing shoddy or biased work,” he said on his website.

“Fifteen former and current staffers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, expressed concerns that important findings unrelated to Trump will not become available to the American public…Several committee staff members were floored earlier this month when they were told that a draft report would focus almost entirely on Trump and the work of the committee’s ‘Gold Team,’ excluding reams of other investigative work.

“Potentially left on the cutting room floor, or relegated to an appendix, were many revelations from the ‘Blue Team’ — the group that dug into the law enforcement and intelligence community’s failure to assess the looming threat and prepare for the well-forecast attack on the Capitol. The proposed report would also cut back on much of the work of the Green Team, which looked at financing for the Jan. 6 attack, and the Purple Team, which examined militia groups and extremism.
