Liz Cheney Accused of Witness Tampering

The Republican majority on the House Committee on House Administration released a damning report Tuesday, recommending an investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney for alleged criminal witness tampering during her tenure on the January 6 Committee.

The report, which is the committee’s second on the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021, accused Cheney and the Democrat-led panel of serious abuses, improper procedures, and destruction of records.

🎯 Key Allegations:

• Witness Tampering:
  Cheney is accused of improper communications with Cassidy Hutchinson, the committee's high-profile witness, without her attorney present. Hutchinson’s claims about President Trump’s alleged attempt to commandeer his presidential vehicle during the riot were later discredited.

  • Cheney allegedly used former White House aide Alyssah Farah Griffin as an intermediary to influence Hutchinson’s testimony, based on subpoenaed text messages.

• Improper Committee Structure:
  The report asserts the committee was not legally constituted, with only nine members instead of the 13 mandated by H. Res. 503.

  • Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected five Republican members proposed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, leading to a partisan panel dominated by Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans.

• Destruction of Records:
  The committee reportedly destroyed evidence and withheld materials that could have been exculpatory for January 6 defendants. Incoming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had warned the panel to preserve all records, but key documents were allegedly deleted.

💥 Repercussions for Cheney:
The findings have led to:

• A Bar complaint against Cheney over her actions on the committee.

• Renewed scrutiny of left-wing groups like the 65 Project, which targeted Hutchinson’s former attorney with their own Bar complaint.

• Speculation about a potential pardon from outgoing President Joe Biden, which could shield Cheney from prosecution under the incoming Trump administration.

📌 Republican Pushback:
Republicans argue the committee's destruction of evidence undermines due process for January 6 defendants and taints the credibility of the committee’s findings. The report underscores GOP frustration with the committee’s one-sided approach, which excluded McCarthy’s nominees and prioritized anti-Trump narratives.

🔗 Looking Ahead:

• Cheney’s legal troubles could escalate, particularly if the Trump administration pursues charges.

• The report fuels Republican calls for accountability for the January 6 Committee’s actions and potential reforms to prevent future abuses.

🏛️ WASHINGTON D.C

Congress Gives Itself a Raise in 1,547-Page Spending Deal!

In a controversial move, Congress is set to receive a pay raise through a 1,547-page spending deal unveiled Tuesday night, just days before a potential government shutdown. The legislation, known as the continuing resolution (CR), effectively removes a provision that has blocked automatic raises for members of Congress since 2009.

🔎 Key Highlights of the Bill:

• Automatic Pay Adjustment Restored:
  The removal of the blocking provision allows the "Member Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA)" to take effect, granting senators and representatives a pay increase tied to changes in the Employment Cost Index.

  • Annual Adjustments: Unless Congress acts again to block raises, these pay hikes will now occur automatically each year.

• Historical Context:
  Since 2009, Congress has consistently blocked COLA adjustments to avoid public backlash. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), a top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, confirmed earlier this year that COLA is a pay increase for lawmakers.

• Member Salaries:

  • Most members of Congress currently earn $174,000 annually.

  • Leadership roles command higher salaries:

    • Speaker of the House: $223,500

    • Senate President Pro Tempore: $193,400

💸 Additional Perks:
This is not the first time Congress has benefited from last-minute spending bills. In 2022, lawmakers approved reimbursements for living expenses, including lodging, food, and travel, up to $34,000 annually per member.

📊 The Broader Implications:
The timing of this pay raise, bundled into a rushed, lame-duck spending bill, has drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) spearheaded the negotiations for Republicans but has faced backlash from GOP members for the deal's content and process.

• Public Reaction:
  Congressional approval ratings remain abysmally low, consistently hovering in the teens according to Gallup. Moves like this are likely to further erode public trust in lawmakers.

• Future Adjustments:
  Under the restored pay structure, Congress will receive annual pay raises unless future lawmakers vote to block them.

🗳️ What’s Next?
The House is expected to vote on the CR by Friday, with Senate approval required before it reaches President Biden’s desk. Whether the inclusion of the pay raise will affect support for the bill remains uncertain.

💬 Discussion:

With Congress consistently criticized for prioritizing itself, should automatic pay raises be permanently blocked? Or do lawmakers deserve regular cost-of-living adjustments like other federal employees? Share your thoughts!
