[QUOTE="728ups, post: 5105153, member: 33372"] Seems like Liz Cheney is pointing to a specific Felony 45 committed during the Insurrection: In summing up the texts, Cheney (R-Wyo.) said, “Mr. Meadows’s testimony will bear on another key question before this committee: Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress’s official proceeding to count electoral votes?” A casual observer might have missed it, but what Cheney was doing here was pointing to a specific criminal statute — a felony, [URL='https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512']18 U.S. Code § 1512[/URL] — that she suggests President Donald Trump might have violated. And both its inclusion in her comments and the timing of it shouldn’t be lost on anyone. This was a Republican member of the committee floating a specific potential Trump crime that the committee apparently wants to drill down on; it also came shortly after a federal judge upheld the use of the statute in a key Jan. 6 case. Cheney, on Tuesday morning at another hearing, cited the statute again — pretty much erasing any doubt about how deliberate this was. Cheney’s comment matches the language of [URL='https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512']the statute[/URL]. It states, “Whoever corruptly … obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.” That law defines an “official proceeding” as [URL='https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1515']including “a proceeding before the Congress.”[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/what-crime-might-trump-have-committed-on-jan-6-liz-cheney-points-to-one/ar-AARO6xG?ocid=msedgntp[/URL] [/QUOTE]
