There is no crime here. So there is no possibility of Cheney being charged with a crime, let alone convicted. This is a political stunt, like Biden’s “impeachment inquery”. Cheney is not worried that she could go to jail. She is legitimately mad about (1) the absurdity of it, and (2) she will have to waste her money on a lawyer.
The GOP is pretending that Treason Trump’s enshitification has already happened and the rule of law in America is already destroyed, purely because Treason Trump is embarrassed that he was caught and convicted of actual real crimes. But the basic protections are still in place. (1) a judge will dismiss any case that has no actual legal grounds. (2) lawyers can be permanently disbarred from bringing cases with no actual legal grounds, and (3) no 12 person random jury would convict when there is no actual crime.
