People Sure Think Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Admitted To A Crime On Live TV

p. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) raised eyebrows with a claim she made during a TV interview on Thursday evening.

Greene said she read a document inside a SCIF ― a sensitive compartmented information facility ― related to bribery allegations Republicans have made against President Joe Biden but have yet to provide evidence for.

Then, she described that document while speaking to Laura Ingraham on Fox News:




Greene said the document was “unclassified,” but a SCIF is typically used only for very sensitive information. Lawmakers generally must check all electronic devices before entering, and cannot take notes while inside.

And usually, information revealed in the SCIF can’t be repeated outside of it.

But Greene ―a conspiracy theorist and close ally of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) who has called for a “national divorce” and spoke last year at a white nationalist event ― said she copied as much as she could once she left the SCIF.

And how do we know her “notes” even reflect what was said??? The document might reflect nothing and knowing it can’t be released publicly she can come out and lie about its contents. “Oh it says Biden took bribes!!!” And the real document can’t be used to prove she’s lying.

You're not supposed to acknowledge going into the SCIF. I worked at a company and was told I wasn't even supposed to mention the company HAD a SCIF. She went on national TV and did everything except say what the document contained

the notes were made after.

I've been in a SCIF on numerous occasions and years and years of DoD required security trainings. You do NOT write down anything about what you saw, heard, or read. During or after the briefing.

Why would an unclassified document even be read in a SCIF? And allegations by the FBI of bribery against Biden? Show me the proof. And why is the FBI allowing these allegations to continue? Christopher Wray could dispell the delusions simply by announcing that the FBI has no proof to support Green’s allegations. I have no doubt whatsoever that President Biden has never accepted bribes.

Dumb is a miscalculation.

It’s a bid for attention to raise money and keep the notion circulating that there’s a witch hunt should charges be pursued.
