CNN has reportedly secured 2,319 text messages that were sent to and from former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows between Election Day 2020 and Joe Bidens inauguration. Much of this trove consists of frantic messages on January 6, 2021, fruitlessly seeking some intervention by Donald Trump to stop the Capitol riot. A few of these missives came from Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who appeared to agree with the objectives if not the tactics of the insurrectionists.
But a far more interesting text message to Meadows from MTG came quite a bit later, on January 17 11 days after Bidens presidential election was finally certified by Congress and just three days before the 46th presidents inauguration. Per CNN:
By January 17, Greene was suggesting ways to keep Trump in office, telling Meadows there were several Republicans in Congress who still wanted the then-President to declare martial law, which had been raised in a heated Oval Office meeting a month earlier.
Greene texted: In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall [sic] law. I dont know on those things. I just wanted you to tell him. They stole this election. We all know. They will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!

At least in Empty Greene's school. I'm guessing she went to school, although I've seen no evidence of that.

I also suspect that if Trump attempted to declare "martial law" he'd get a little visit from the 82nd Airborne...
"Hello Secret Service? This is Major General Donohue, commander of America's Guard of Honor. We came up here to deal with the dishonorable slug who can't accept he did the same fucking thing 43 men and one woman did before him and lost a presidential election."
"Oh. He's over here. The door's unlocked. It's a piece of America's sacred heritage, so please don't kick it in."

"By January 17, Greene was suggesting ways to keep Trump in office, telling Meadows there were several Republicans in Congress who still wanted the then-President to declare martial law, which had been raised in a heated Oval Office meeting a month earlier. "
