Yeah yeah, Marge *pat head*, that's going to go really well ... [Twitter]

Loose-lipped self-appointed GOP mouthpiece Marge Traytor Greene just can't hold herself back from spilling the beans about the grand plans the new GOP House caucus has in store in the next session.




Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦
@RonFilipkowski

Marge says she has a plan to stop the Special Counsel: “They can tell Jack Smith he’s not going to get much of a paycheck. It’s gonna be real simple. We’re not going to do this. That’s it. We’re gonna stop them and we’re gonna do it through the power of the purse.”

[Twitter video]


The replies are - unusually for Twitter - 100% Marge-hostile with a tinge of amusement, ranging from pointing out that Garland says the whole caboodle is already fully funded to the fact that the Senate has a say in such matters to many who are offering to crowdfund Smith's endeavours to those pointing out that Marge herself may find she has some questions to answer in a formal setting and allegedly already asked TFG for a pardon and was turned down.

Oh, and there's a few memes. In the absence of cowbell, more memes is always good.

you will find a few subthreads where a rather small number of MAGAites or general contrarians are trying to put up some sort of wan counter, but on Tweets like this I'd usually expect a cavalry charge of RW nutjobs flailing away in full view.

... prepared for and by the ongoing investigation of tRump by the DoJ.

The investigation which Jack Smith will take over and be able to run much more efficiently than Garland because his hand will be somewhat more free and the tRump investigation with all its associated investigations will be the only thing on his plate.

Almost as if the Special Counsel just has to stay on top of, ride tRump for a couple of months while tRump runs out some fading delay tactics, and then drop the hammer, if after "due consideration" of the available evidence the SC agrees tRump should be indicted.

I am confident he will be indicted in the documents case, the obstruction case, and the fake electors case.

The insurrection case may be more difficult but the fake electors case is part of it and may be the linchpin. The attempted coup is of course the most important case.

I am undoubtedly underestimating the amount of investigation yet to be done.

I think the indictment is just the formality and they've been waiting till after the election to indict. Bet we see it in the next few weeks.
