The op-ed letter warned that Trump was a threat to America because he wanted the United States military to determine the outcome of the 2020 election -- Trump's argument, of course, being that the election was stolen from him by the Democrats who installed Joe Biden instead.
Cheney also wrote her own op-ed, also published by the Post, warning that America was at a turning point in which it needed to oppose Trump's agenda in order to save democracy and the Constitution.
According to Cheney, the time is long past to question the 2020 election results. To continue probing the matter, as her 10 former defense secretaries wrote on her behalf for the Post, veers towards "unlawful and unconstitutional territory."
"She was the one who generated it because she was so worried about what Trump might do," said Eric Edelman, a friend of Cheney's and a career diplomat who served as national security advisor to then-Vice President Dick Cheney, about Liz Cheney's involvement in getting the op-ed written and published.
"It speaks to the degree that she was concerned about the threat to our democracy that Trump represented. It's all got to do with fealty to Trump and the Big Lie and the fact that Liz is a living reproach to all these cowards."

Upset over these revelations among Republicans could cost Cheney her political seat to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), a Trump loyalist. Trump says Cheney is a "warmonger," just like her father before her, and he continues to name her as one of the 10 House Republicans who backed his impeachment.
In Cheney's most recent op-ed, she warns that the Republican Party is now "at a turning point" where Republicans at large "must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution," which she believes does not include Trump.
"In the immediate wake of the violence of Jan. 6, almost all of us knew the gravity and the cause of what had just happened – we had witnessed it firsthand," Cheney added in the piece.
On January 12, eight members of the joint chiefs of staff, including chairman Gen. Mark Milley, wrote yet another op-ed letter claiming that the January 6 "insurrection" was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress and the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
"As Service Members, we must embody the values and ideals of the Nation," the letter reads. "We support and defend the Constitution. Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values and oath; it is against the law."
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," wrote a commenter about Liz Cheney. "In this case, it appears to be a big, fat, rotten apple, just like her father."
"All 10 of them have had their hand at starting multiple wars," wrote another about the 10 former defense secretaries who wrote the op-ed orchestrated by Cheney. "Trump started no wars, yet he's the bad guy."
"She's a deep state stooge just like her dad, intent on taking this country from citizens and making it an elite cash cow, funded from the work of our brow going into their pockets," wrote another.
