MTG’s plan to combat Trump’s indictment: defund Special Counsel.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Wants to Defund Special Counsel Jack Smith

Disgusted at watching vast sums of taxpayer dollars spent on prosecutions she believes are political, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia wants to drain the swamp of funds that support special counsel Jack Smith.

Smith was named last fall to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation and ultimate prosecution of former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents. He also was given carte blanche to investigate whether there was obstruction of justice in connection with the Capitol incursion on Jan. 6, 2021.

Although Smith has secured a 37-count criminal indictment against Trump in the documents case and the current federal fiscal year’s budget has long been approved, Greene said it was never too late to fight back.

“This morning, I’m writing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation,” she posted Monday on Twitter. “I will not vote for ANY appropriations bill to fund the weaponization of government. I hope every one of my Republican colleagues will join me.”

I hope every one of my Republican colleagues will join me.

In another tweet, the congresswoman said, “We have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of government. I’m introducing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation. Where are the investigations into true criminals like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton?”

That was accompanied by a video of Greene speaking on the House floor Monday.

“Today, I’d like to announce that I’m writing an appropriations rider to defund Jack Smith, special counsel, his office and the investigation,” she said. “This is a weaponized government attempt to take down the top political enemy and leading presidential candidate of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”

Republican Lawmaker Proposes Funding Cut to Stop “Weaponization of Government”

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has proposed using the power of appropriations to stop the “weaponization of government” for political purposes. Greene’s proposal comes as former President Donald Trump faces indictment by special counsel John Smith for his alleged role in the January 6th Capitol riot.

Smith, who was appointed in November, will be given his own budget and staff to support his work. The cost of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into allegations of collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia was $32 million.

Greene’s proposal has drawn support from fellow Republicans, including Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who tweeted, “ENDORSE!!!!!! This must happen.” James Bradley, a former GOP Senate candidate in California, praised Greene for her efforts to fight back against the Biden administration’s “hostile takeover of America.”

While some have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of Greene’s proposal, others have celebrated her creativity and called for Republicans to push back against Democrats with equal force.

I don’t know if this will work, but I celebrate the creativity of this initiative!

Details of Greene’s Proposal

• Use appropriations to stop the “weaponization of government” for political purposes
• Referenced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and classified documents found in President Joe Biden’s garage
• Support from fellow Republicans, including Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida
• Drawn criticism and skepticism from some

Despite the mixed reactions, Greene’s proposal highlights the ongoing political divide in the United States and the lengths to which some lawmakers are willing to go to fight back against their opponents.

Hold the Biden DOJ Accountable by Defunding Their Efforts

Congress can and should hold the Biden DOJ accountable by defunding their efforts during the appropriations process, executing the Holman Rule to remove and defund corrupt officials, and conducting oversight on its baseless investigations.

Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona has a plan to hold the Biden DOJ accountable. He suggests that Congress should defund their efforts during the appropriations process, execute the Holman Rule to remove and defund corrupt officials, and conduct oversight on its baseless investigations. It might be too late to choke off funding for an investigation that has already filed charges, but we can prevent future waste by using the budget wisely.
