watch the swamp that is the DC bar cover for her corrupt ass.
I hope the next DOJ investigates and prosecutes her war mongering ass
he lawyer who first represented star Jan. 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson before the Democrat-led select committee has filed a bar complaint against Liz Cheney for communicating with his client without his knowledge.
The complaint to the D.C. Bar from lawyer Stefan Passantino and his attorneys at America First Legal follows a Just the News report that then-GOP Congresswoman Cheney covertly communicated with Hutchinson on the Signal app without her lawyer as the witness was planning further testimony before the Jan. 6 Select Committee.
Passantino previously told Just the News he did not authorize the contacts with Cheney, vice chairwoman of the committee, and was not aware of them until reached for comment. Now he is urging the bar to conduct an ethics probe into the former congresswoman.
"Our investigation has uncovered unethical back-channel communications between former Rep. Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson just before Hutchinson changed her sworn testimony," Loudermilk said. "Not only is communicating with a witness without their attorney present unethical, it undermines the integrity of an investigation.
"As a licensed attorney, Liz Cheney would have known the ethical and legal issues with this communication," he also said. "Clearly, Cheney did not want Stefan Passantino representing Hutchinson; as shortly after Cheney and Hutchinson began communicating, Cheney convinced Hutchinson to fire Passantino, and arranged for a new attorney to represent Hutchinson pro-bono.”
Hutchinson, who was a key aide to Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, was a first hand witness to many of the events of Jan. 6 from the perspective of the White House.
After firing Passantino, Hutchinson would go on to testify to the committee again, altering several components of her original testimony and providing new accounts that would feature prominently in the final report, including some that were disputed by other witnesses. Several of the new narratives were documented by Just the News. Hutchinson explained her revisions in part by claiing Passantino pressured her to stay loyal to Trump, which he has denied.
One was the now infamous story about how then-President Trump allegedly grabbed the wheel of the presidential vehicle in anger after the Secret Service allegedly refused to take him to the Capitol. Though this claim was directly refuted by the driver of the vehicle, the Democrat-led Jan. 6 Committee credited that information in its final report as being credible.
