CNN: Marjorie Taylor Greene's new 'endorsement of violence' could land her in front of a grand jury

[Norbert]

Reacting to a video clip of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) boasting that she and former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon would have done a better job leading the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jane 6th, two CNN analysts stated she should be compelled to testify before a grand jury looking into the insurrection.

In a video released over the weekend, a smirking Taylor Greene can be seen telling a laughing crowd, " Then Jan. 6 happened. And next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here. And I will tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed."

“See that’s the whole joke, isn’t it. They say that whole thing was planned and I’m like, are you kidding me? A bunch of conservatives, second amendment supporters, went in the Capitol without guns, and they think that we organized that?” she then added.

According to CNN's John Avlon, her comments should send up red flags for investigators looking into the lead-up and aftermath of the Capitol riot that forced lawmakers to flee for their lives.

"What this congresswoman is saying is they were insufficiently armed, she was playing to the crowd but what she is saying is without accountability, failed insurrections are just practice," he told the "CNN This Morning" hosts.

I've said for a while her mouth will get her in trouble. I just hope it is sooner than later.

1. I hope it does.

[marble falls]

2. "Could".

[Scrivener7]

3. But probably won't.

[Effete Snob]

5. "two CNN analysts stated she should"

Television entertainers.

[Kingofalldems]

9. I don't think so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Avlon

[NJCher]

35. has some

serious creds, definitely.

[Effete Snob]

50. Yah, she'll be in front of a grand jury any day now

People aren't chosen from some random objective pool to go on news shows and spout opinions.

CNN is in the business of attracting eyeballs, so they can sell commercial time.

Consequently, they find people to tell their audience things they believe their audience wants to hear.

There are going to be zero legal consequences for the MTG's grotesque posturing around J6. Check back in a few months and figure out which "expert" was right.

[marble falls]

6. Even less chance than 'probably'.

[Scrivener7]

7. Agreed.

[chicoescuela]

15. Good luck. She won't pay any consequences.

[marble falls]

27. There are no odds I'd bet she will face the music.

[getagrip_already]

11. targets dont usually get called - being called is not being indicted....

It would mean little to her legally. She could merely claim the fifth and then grift off of it.

She is yelling at the coin tossers. They are stuffing bills in her g-string.

What cnn says may be feel good once in a while, but it means nothing. Well, it means she got another 15 minutes of fame.

[Wahyee]

69. +1000

[Walleye]

4. What does she imagine she would have "won", I wonder

I think she should take her guns and march up to the capital right now and take it over. Put your money where your mouth is at Marge

[marble falls]

8. A goldfish level brain like hers never thinks further than the action.

[housecat]

72. an insult to goldfish

[YoshidaYui]

76. Probably talking about

The crackers not real goldfish!

[housecat]

79. that's better

[Chainfire]

18. For Greene a win would have been the destruction of the nation.

People who advocate violence better watch their backs, for others may agree with them.

[usedtobedemgurl]

10. So, In A district Where Guns Are Not Allowed....

She is saying they would have illegally brought guns anyway? They are all law abiding citizens I tell you!!!!!

[getagrip_already]

13. apparently congress critters live under a different set of laws......

Although she wasn't sworn in yet, so I get your point.

Stil, expect to see ar-15's in the well of the house next session.

[usedtobedemgurl]

16. I guess everything to them is...

If we win, all is good. If we lose, someone must have cheated somewhere and it was definitely not them.

Wouldn’t that be hilarious? They don’t think gerrymandering would work, so they mess with the machines. They are so stupid, they accidentally make it so we win, instead of them!!! I would laugh myself silly, if that happened!!!

[niyad]

20. She, like the rest of the 117th Congress, was sworn in on 3 Jan 2021.

[uponit7771]

26. +1, and she's lying there were guns ... 85 of them along with Molitov cocktails

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. MTG puts Big Mouth Bass to shame.

Thus the moniker.....BIG MOUTH MARJIE.

[Lovie777]

14. GQP have been inciting violence for sometime ......

and our law enforcement have been slow in response.

[Paladin]

17. This is what happens when fascists don't have any fear of Democrats.

I wonder if we'll learn, before it's too late. Somehow, I doubt it.

[Silent3]

54. Once again, we'll bring a butter knife to a machine gun fight...

...and keep the butter knife in a locked box that requires twelve different keys to open, and two years worth of court battles to obtain those twelve keys.

[area51]

56. +1 n/t

[Paladin]

60. +1000. (nt)

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Fuck the magnetometers!

It’s treason season.

[lees1975]

21. They walk in a different America than we do.

Law and order is just a slogan to them that applies to everyone else.

That should make her ineligible for public office at the very least. That's not protected free speech. So, since it looks like there will be a lot of tsk tsk tsk and sitting on hands, is it possible to file against her in court?

[niyad]

22. But there were guns. And many other weapons, butt-plug.

[DENVERPOPS]

38. wow

Hey niyad, how about we coin a new nickname for her......how about Butt-Plug-Bimbo........ to go along with her nefarious trailer trash Barbee that I refer to as: Bang-Bang-Boebert.

[niyad]

42. I have many names for her, and her evil twin qbert. Sadly, daily they give us new

reasons and new names.

[nuxvomica]

39. Indeed there were guns

This is just from March of 2021:

Federal court records, included in NPR's database of more than 300 criminal cases, allege that at least three dozen people who took part in the riot used or possessed some kind of weapon that day.

This number is likely a low estimate of the total number of weapons that rioters brought with them. As the Justice Department has noted in court filings, "no crowd member submitted to security screenings or weapons checks by Capitol Police or other authorized security officials." Most of the people who stormed the Capitol were not arrested during the riot itself. Many are still at large.

https://www.npr.org/2021/03/19/977879589/yes-capitol-rioters-were-armed-here-are-the-weapons-prosecutors-say-they-used

[central scrutinizer]

23. The opposite will happen

When the adults were in charge of the House, she was stripped of all committee assignments because of her mouth. Now that the GQP are in charge, she will be the new darling and will get plum assignments. It will be “impeach Biden” all the time.

[Justice matters.]

62. And voters will get exhausted of hertheir shitshow so they'll vote a Dem House

in 2024. Voters already signaled they are damn tired of their constant shitshow in November by denying them a predicted massive Red Wave(tm) but it looks like these fascist asshole babies are unable to get the message.

[Firestorm49]

24. "Could lander in front of a grand jury"? No. Should land her in front of a grand jury.

[Takket]

25. Yeah... no...

They had Gaetz dead to rights on human trafficking with evidence of payment, a victim, and a cooperative corroborating witness and declined to indict. No way in hell will they touch MTG just for one comment.

[3825-87867]

28. Oh, please!

The way justice has been working the last number of years, to paraphrase an idiot, she could shoot somebody on Broadway and they'd still not charge her for years!

[JustAnotherGen]

29. I don't think so

GOP women always get away with everything.

[nightwing1240]

30. She is in the privileged group now

And won't be touched. Just look at Dennis Hastert, Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz. Just pathetic and no excuse why they never had to pay for their actions.

[Genki Hikari]

34. Dennis Hastert went to prison

It wasn't for long, but he did go to prison:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/21/former-house-speaker-dennis-hastert-is-going-to-jail-this-week-heres-how-he-got-there/

[nightwing1240]

45. Yes way too brief

[IronLionZion]

31. Someone will come along and give her the mental illness excuse

and claim she has no political agenda so it's not terrorism.

[usaf-vet]

32. Maybe it is time to revise the military enlistment oath from "I, _____, do solemnly swear..........

..... or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

Revise it to the following: "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and the J6 insurrectionist.

[ancianita]

33. She's one dirty politician. Not the dirtiest, but definitely in the top five.

[tishaLA]

36. She likes to claim she was a victim of J6, too,

whenever she's cornered. What a disgusting piece of filth.

[MagickMuffin]

37. Marge, Did you plant the bombs?

Since you are gun ho to dismantle the Constitution and our Democracy then I would like you to dish.

Was it you went under dark cover to plant bombs at the DNC & RNC headquarters?

[70sEraVet]

40. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE VOTERS OF HER DISTRICT!!!!

Ok, maybe the first time they elected her, they thought it would be funny -- you know, "we're going to send this big-mouthed, low IQ bimbo to Congress to show our disdain for government".
But when they reelected her, the joke had gone stale. Her district can't be getting any benefit from having her represent them, unless they consider being a laughingstock a benefit.

[Wednesdays]

46. What's wrong with them, is that they're exactly like her.

[whathehell]

48. ..They think like she does?

Middle Georgia, two hours away from any large city?

I could be wrong, but I somehow doubt they're inclined to the sort of thinking required to send her to Congress as a 'joke'.

[Effete Snob]

51. The majority of voters there are dumbass morons

That's what wrong with them.

[DBoon]

73. they hate the same people MTG hates

that's all it took to elect her.

and I would bet 80%+ of the District's voters truly believe they will burn in hell forever if they ever vote for a democrat.

[housecat]

41. We could learn something from watching how other democracies clean their house quickly.

Americans watch the dirty mess grow. So-called Republican anarchists and lawmakers ignore and enable destructive behavior. Democrats, who claim to abhor lying-cheating-stealing, ignore and enable it for different reasons. Permitting tfg to kill everything he touched for six years almost became normalized. We must get our shit together and replace words with action.

[tikka]

43. Wasn't she at the Dec 18th planning meeting at the WH

According to Kelly Loeffler's emails, she tried to recruit Loeffler and wanted Loeffler to go to the meeting.

[calimary]

44. Oh please, dear God!

[Emile]

47. All these right wing traitors need to be locked up!

[NQAS]

49. Exactly what I thought

Won’t happen.

[Midnight Writer]

52. When a Congresswoman asks the President for a pardon her first week on the job,

you've got to figure she isn't planning to play nice with others.

[Silent3]

53. But this isn't an episode of "Law and Order"!

Those of us who respect the rule of law and the following of proper procedures should expect, nay, even welcome, that MTG facing consequences for openly inciting violence would take YEARS to decide, if ever, otherwise, you know, gosh, it would be a fast slippery-slope into a totalitarian police state.

Much better to sit back while MTG helps bring about her own police state than risk being the bad guys ourselves, acting swiftly and decisively against her assault on democracy in a way that could maybe kinda sorta seem too police-statey, if you, like, take every benefit of the doubt away from people who would go after the likes of MTG, and give MTG and her ilk every possible benefit of the doubt that they aren't much of an imminent threat.

(in case that isn't obvious)

[patphil]

55. She's a dangerous person, with a big following.

If she hasn't already put herself in legal jeopardy concerning January 6th, she'll eventually do so for some future event.
Unfortunately, between now and then there is a lot of mischief to be created by her.
She should be censured by the incoming House for those statements, but the Republicans moral compass hasn't worked for decades, so they won't.
The best thing that could happen to the Democrats would be for her to be elected Speaker of the House so we could all watch her crash and burn in a job with high visibility that needs a unified Republican party in the House to do what passes for a "functioning" majority.
Yeah, she'd create a lot of chaos, and do damage to the House, but she and her buddies will do that anyway, with a gutless Kevin McCarthy in the lead as Speaker taking the flack.

The best way to expose a rat is to shine a light on it.

[Ford_Prefect]

57. Sounds to me like she's inviting an arrest... Incitement to riot among other possibilities.

Whatever hand she had in Jan. 6th she was and remains very active in the on-going coup actions.

She's a dangerous, empowered Magaterian with a huge audience and far too many opportunities for mayhem.

IMO the best way to expose a rat is to set a Terrier on it.

[mopinko]

58. well, she asked 4 a pardon,

gotta think the gj already has her on the list.

[ificandream]

59. She should be arrested now.

[Cha]

61. Here's Hoping!! TY! nt

[Kaleva]

63. MTG charging the Capitol with butt plug in place

[Skittles]

64. HOW is this not breaking the oath of office

KICK HER THE FUCK OUT

[CrispyQ]

65. Yawn. IOKIYAR

Wake me when someone actually does something.

[Evolve Dammit]

67. That's where I'm at. DOJ spinning wheels since Mueller. Oh, can we even see that report? Nooooo

[Darkstar53142]

66. Didn't she tweet some seditious bullsht that day?

...something about this being 1776 again?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

68. I hope so

[Blue Owl]

70. Would the butt plug please approach the stand...

[lindysalsagal]

71. She should be tossed out. Period.

[YoshidaYui]

74. May she end up in

Prison! She is an insurrectionist! TRAITOR!

[housecat]

75. She's good material for comedians. Too bad fascists have no sense of humor.

[YoshidaYui]

77. Please let it happen

She was probably involved with the insurrection.

[trusty elf]

78. ...her mouth will get her in trouble....
