Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) plans to defund the special counsel investigation against former President Donald Trump.
Yesterday, Rep. Greene announced her intention to introduce an appropriations rider “to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation” as she Tweeted. In addition, she pledged to vote against any bill that would fund what she calls “the weaponization of government.”
Last Thursday, Smith charged Trump with 31 separate counts of alleged willful retention of national defense information under the Espionage Act – a stunning move that has never been made before in history.
This indictment came on the same day House Oversight Committee Republicans gained access to an FBI document alleging Joe Biden and his son Hunter were engaged in bribery with a Ukrainian executive for $5 million each.
Since then, there have been numerous cries from commentators on the right for Republicans to impeach Biden based off this evidence, as reported by Breitbart News and other outlets.
Perhaps most significant is Rep. Greene’s own efforts in calling for impeachment since Biden took office – a tireless effort now renewed after the special counsel indicted Trump last week her announcement today makes it clear, she is serious about protecting our constitutional rights and is standing up for those who share our values no matter how hard they might be attacked or persecuted by opponents who wish them ill will.
This morning, I’m writing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation.
I will not vote for ANY appropriations bill to fund the weaponization of government.
I hope every one of my Republican colleagues will join me.

She also pledged to vote against any appropriations bill that funded the “weaponization of government.”
“I will not vote for ANY appropriations bill to fund the weaponization of government,” she added. “I hope every one of my Republican colleagues will join me.”
Greene has been one of the few House Republicans calling for Biden’s impeachment since the beginning of his administration. She renewed those calls after the special counsel indicted Trump.

MTG keep up the good work! May God guide you to the truth, what ever that is and the people that have disobeyed the law be found out and put in prison. Everyone that is voted for by the people and payed by the people’s taxes should all be inprisioned for willfully breaking the laws and their vow to protect the US citizens. The people that ellected are not suppose to become rich by doing a duty they signed up for and was voted in. Might focus also on Obama who was a middle class citizen to owning a huge spread in Marth’s Vinard, a huge spread in Washington & also one in Hawaii. The couple who hated America until they arrived in the White House.
She is absolutely correct!!
GOD bless You MtG! Thank You for standing up for President Trump and America!
