Why Trump Might Want Cheney Off the Hook

Did you know that Donald Trump actually wants Liz Cheney to be pardoned? It might sound weird, but there's a reason behind it. Trump doesn't want a repeat of the January 6th Capitol attack in the news. He's afraid it could make Cheney look like a hero and him the bad guy. Plus, it could take away attention from his plans with Elon Musk. Trump led the January 6th rally and told lots of lies about the election before it. He also didn't send help when the Capitol was attacked. If Cheney goes on trial, she could become a hero, and Trump doesn't want that. He wants a scapegoat to blame for the chaos.

There are also legal challenges. The Constitution protects Congress members for things done on the House or Senate floor. A trial for January 6th would fall under this protection. Trump doesn't want to deal with any of this. He wants to pardon Cheney and other people. Should Biden pardon Cheney and others? It's a tough call. They're in real danger, but a pardon might make it seem like they did something wrong. Maybe Biden should talk to them and offer pardons. Cheney and others might not want a pardon. They might want to fight for the truth.
