Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Biden Should Be Impeached for Bringing Brittney Griner Home

Putin lapdog MTG is listing yet another BS reason why they GOP House is going to pass a series of impeachment resolutions, or order, to make the case that Biden is far more dangerous for Democracy and has committed more crimes the Trump. This is going to end up like the Republican's multiple bills to repeal the ACA.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/marjorie-taylor-greene-biden-impeachment-griner-release-1234643950/

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR Greene called for President Joe Biden to be impeached following WNBA star Brittany Griner’s release from Russia in exchange for convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout.

“Another reason to impeach Biden,” the Georgia congresswoman tweeted. “The President of the United States traded Russian terrorist arms dealer, Viktor Bout, left a U.S. Marine in Russian jail, and brought home a professional basketball player.”

Bout, nicknamed the “Merchant of Death,” is a former Soviet officer who was convicted in 2011 on several charges including conspiracy to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, conspiracy to kill Americans, money launding, and wire fraud. Bout was ultimately sentenced to 26 years in prison.

Greene’s reaction mirrors criticism from other Republican lawmakers and prominent GOP commentators, who have condemned Griner’s release given that Russia has detained multiple U.S. nationals, most notably former Marine Paul Whelan, as well as teacher Marc Fogel.

They traded Viktor Bout for Brittany and not MTG. Biden should trade MTG for Wehlan. That way she could be in Russia with her buddy Vlad.

There's no point trying to stop them from impeaching him, or worrying about it.

If they want to do so for the dumbest, least popular reasons available, don't get in the way. Just prepare to beat the shit out of them with it in the next election cycle. That is what ultimately matters.

and plumber was foaming mad. so now I know what team he is on.
He seemed normal at first.
Later he mentioned he was going to shoot his guns at midnight New Years eve with his buddies.
That sealed the deal there. Guess I will look around for an alternate person for handyman repairs.
That is the second handyman repairman I have had in my home (deep red area) within the last month who just can't keep their mouth shut.

Why would someone who just came here to work on remodeling go off ranting like that on a job site?
What a waste of my time. Idiot.
He also finished the job with mistakes. I have paid him in full and don't care to have him return either.

He is a FORMER marine, received a Bad Conduct Discharge after being convicted of "attempted larceny, three specifications of dereliction of duty, making a false official statement, wrongfully using another's social security number, and ten specifications of making and uttering[a] checks without having sufficient funds in his account for payment."

From Wikipedia.

He is a disgraced FORMER marine, found guilty of being a dishonest thief, basically.

Sure he should come home, as should every person held in a foreign jail, but to suggest he has more value than Ms. Griner is ridiculous.

The Hard Right was so anxious to get Bergdahl back until President Obama got him back. Then they wanted to hang both Bergdahl and Obama with the same rope.

If President Biden gets Whelan back the same thing will happen.
