J6 Bombshell Report Reveals FBI Role discusses the Interim Report On The Failures and Politicization of The January 6 Select Committee issued on 12/17.
After investigating January 6, House GOP sides with Trump and goes after Liz Cheney 12/19/24
Trump, who has said Cheney should go to jail and even amplified posts on social media calling for a televised military tribunal for her, said on Truth Social Wednesday morning that Cheney “could be in a lot of trouble” based on the report released by House GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk. Trump’s elevation of the report carries even more weight considering he has chosen loyalist Kash Patel, who has a retribution list of his own, to lead the FBI.
In the report, Loudermilk singles out Cheney, a longtime top target of Trump, and claims that she colluded with former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, whose explosive testimony was crucial to the former select committee’s investigation. “Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the report states.

Reports Calls For Investigation of Cheney
House Republicans say Liz Cheney should be investigated over Jan. 6 committee work 12/18/24
A GOP-led subcommittee's interim report says the FBI should investigate Cheney, a former House Republican lawmaker, over her involvement in the Jan. 6 select committee.….
The report alleged Republicans found evidence showing Cheney "tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without her attorney's knowledge." "This secret communication with a witness is improper," the report said.
In addition, the report said the FBI should investigate Cheney for allegedly violating a law that prohibits any person from procuring another person to commit perjury, which Republicans have accused Hutchinson of doing in her testimony to the committee. The report accused Cheney of helping Hutchinson attain new counsel; while the report alleges they spoke directly to each other without a lawyer's knowledge, it indicated Republicans don't seem to know what they discussed.

Stefan Passantino: Liz Cheney’s J6 Crimes & Mission to Destroy Any Lawyer Who Dares Represent Trump (video)
No one has ever gone to prison for the real crimes of January 6th. Liz Cheney destroyed a man’s life to cover up her role in the hoax. Here’s what really happened.
Stefan Passantino is the head of McKenna Long & Aldridge’s Political Law Team. He was recognized by Chambers USA 2010 as one of the leading political law attorneys in the nation. Mr. Passantino is a co-author of the Handbook on Corporate Political Activity: Emerging Corporate Governance Issues, an overview of the legal rules and standard practices related to corporate activity in the political arena. He also leads the firm's Political Law team in the publication of its Pay to Play blog.
Passantino represented witnesses called to testify before the January 6th Committee which issued a large number of subpoenas even to low-level campaign workers and White House staffers. Passantino has filed a bar complaint against Liz Cheney, Co-Chair of the J6 Committee, allegedly representing Republicans.
Passantino discusses the corrupt role of CNN in covering the J6 story and explains that many on the J6 Committee were paid by CNN.
Today, on behalf of its client, Stefan Passantino, America First Legal (AFL) filed a D.C. bar complaint against former Congresswoman and Vice Chair of the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, Elizabeth “Liz” Cheney, following findings by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk revealing that the former Congresswoman used the encrypted messaging app Signal to send communications to Cassidy Hutchinson, a represented witness before the January 6 Committee.
The report states, “According to text messages between Hutchinson and Farah Griffin obtained by the Subcommittee, Cheney agreed to communicate with Hutchinson through Farah Griffin. However, it appears that Cheney knew communicating with Hutchinson while Hutchinson was represented by an attorney and a subject of the Select Committee’s investigation without going through Hutchinson’s attorney would be unethical. This is evident by Farah Griffin’s test of Hutchinson that Cheney’s ‘one concern was so long ad [sic] you have counsel, she can’t really ethically talk to you without him.’”…
The report further contends that “After her third transcribed interview Hutchinson reached out to Cheney directly.” Additionally, “When Hutchinson texted Cheney, she was still represented by Passantino . . . Cheney and Hutchinson communicated directly for days without Passantino’s knowledge.”
As such, Cheney appears to have violated the D.C. Bar Rule of Professional Conduct 4.2: “A lawyer shall not communicate or cause another to communicate about the subject of the representation with a person known to be represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the lawyer has the prior consent of the lawyer representing such other person or is authorized by law or a court order to do so.”
AFL’s client, Stefan Passantino, is a former Deputy White House Counsel heading ethics and compliance issues in President Trump’s Office of White House Counsel who initially represented Cassidy Hutchinson before the January 6 Committee. Hutchinson appears to have been pressured by Cheney and others into manufacturing a narrative that Passantino had sought to influence her testimony in an effort to protect former President Trump — a claim that Passantino has denied.
This claim has led to numerous bar complaints, including a D.C. bar complaint, being filed against AFL’s client by various interest groups in an attempt to revoke his law license and otherwise smear his name. These complaints were all investigated and dismissed without any discipline being imposed on Passantino. Prior to the allegations surrounding his representation of Hutchinson, Passantino had “never been accused by a client, or anyone else, of unethical or illegal behavior.” The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report also obtained messages between Farah Griffin and Hutchinson where Hutchinson admitted that Passantino was acting in her best interest:
All the while, Cheney was illegally messaging Hutchinson — a direct violation of the D.C. Bar Rules of Professional Conduct. Accordingly, following the new revelations in the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report, AFL has filed this bar complaint against Cheney, as no lawyer, including a former member of Congress, is exempt from these professional ethical obligations.
Statement from Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director:
“The Subcommittee’s report is shocking, and indicates that Elizabeth Cheney clearly communicated with Mr. Passantino’s client without his knowledge or approval. The damage done to his reputation and to his career based on these communications is indescribable, and it appears to have all been driven by former Representative Cheney. Mr. Passantino deserves justice and we have asked that the bar investigate Representative Cheney’s conduct that appears to be in clear violation of the rules governing attorneys,” said Gene Hamilton.

The Real Crimes of January 6
Passantino explains that Liz Cheney and the committee engaged in unethical behavior such as secretly communicating with his client Cassidy Hutchinson to get her to change her testimony and accuse Passantino of witness tampering. He explores the contradictions between Hutchinson's initial testimony while he represented her and her subsequent explosive live televised testimony after meeting secretly with Liz Cheney – which is illegal.
The January 6th committee called 2,000 people -- including very low level staffers and very low level campaign workers. They all got knocks on the door from the FBI handing them subpoenas who said, “Well, since I'm here, do you want to talk about your role in the White House?“
Passantino believes the J6 Committee was not interested in finding the truth about January 6 but rather in creating a partisan narrative to destroy Trump and his lawyers. He explains how CNN and other media outlets, along with bar associations, coordinated with the January 6th Committee to publicly accuse him of crimes without due process. He faced disbarment threats, criminal investigations, and personal attacks just for representing his clients. Passantino argues this was an effort to intimidate lawyers from representing Trump and his team or Republicans, undermining their right to legal counsel.
Passantino points out that no one has gone to prison for the real crimes of January 6. He says Liz Cheney destroyed his life to cover up her role in the hoax. Passantino discusses Cassidy Hutchinson’s pivotal testimony. He explains that CNN paid J6 members who manufactured the narrative against him. He discusses the destruction of evidence by the J6 Committee and the intimidation tactics against Trump’s lawyers.
Despite the trauma and attempts to ruin his career, Passantino remains committed to restoring faith in government institutions and the legal system. He believes lawyers should not be targeted for representing clients, regardless of political affiliation, and that the public deserves transparency about January 6th events. Passantino aims to hold those who abused power accountable and ensure everyone has access to effective legal representation.
Lawyers Who Support Republicans Threatened
Passantino points out that lawyers are being warned that they will be disbarred if they represent Trump or any of the people around him. He says: “It is fundamental to democracy that everyone have access to effective counsel.” Passantino quotes Shakespeare’s Henry VI: “If you want to destroy society, the first thing you do kill all the lawyers”.
Passantino’s statements below demonstrate his belief that the unethical tactics used against him by Congress and associated groups set a dangerous precedent for targeting citizens without due process.
“The whole idea is it is extraordinarily difficult to get a big law lawyer to represent a Republican. It's just we can't get those people. You can't be a lawyer in a White Shoe or a major law firm and represent a Republican -- and this is explicitly advertised."
“We cannot be subjecting lawyers to attack because of who they represent. That's undemocratic. That's unconstitutional. We can't have a philosophy where you kill all of the lawyers for one side."
“If Congress can destroy me at a whim, they could do that to anyone. And nobody would want to live in a world where either a single member of Congress or a single committee of Congress could select an individual citizen and say, we select this person for execution, and we are going to marshal all of the legislative resources, as we have in conjunction with outside bar groups and in conjunction with media organizations. And we are going to create a narrative that is unrecoverable."
“Clearly, if it's just me, I will be squished again as quickly and easily as I was squished the first time. But I have a little window to maybe try to create some awareness that we can't go on as a society where not everybody has the right to effective lawyers."
Passatino explains that CNN participated in a coordinated effort to vilify him and accuse him of unethical conduct based on a transcript of Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony that CNN obtained from unknown sources. Passantino claims CNN refused to include exculpatory evidence he provided that contradicted the narrative against him.
Passantino said when he tried to get the videotapes of his testimony before the J6 Committee to exonerate himself, Chairman Loudermilk explained that the tapes had been destroyed! Passantino discusses allegations of evidence destruction related to the January 6th events, including the apparent intentional deletion of witness testimony videotapes and the potential removal or alteration of supporting materials such as annotated videotapes of the events themselves.
Passantino discusses The 65 Project. The site’s name is derived from the 65 Trump lawyers under attack.
