MTG Strikes Back With Plan To Fight Trump’s Indictment

(Congress Report) – Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is absolutely disgusted by the outrageous amount of money — provided by American taxpayers — that has been spent on what she believes are political prosecutions against former President Donald Trump and as a result, she’s come up with a way to fight back against the efforts of the left to remove him from the 2024 presidential playing field: defund the special counsel.

Jack Davis, writing for The Western Journal, noted, “Smith was named last fall to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation and ultimate prosecution of former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents. He also was given carte blanche to investigate whether there was obstruction of justice in connection with the Capitol incursion on Jan. 6, 2021.”

“Although Smith has secured a 37-count criminal indictment against Trump in the documents case and the current federal fiscal year’s budget has long been approved, Greene said it was never too late to fight back,” Davis continued.

“This morning, I’m writing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation,” the Georgia Republican published Monday on Twitter. “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 posted another tweet that read, “We have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of government. I’m introducing an appropriations rider to DEFUND Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and entire investigation. Where are the investigations into true criminals like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton?”

“Today, I’d like to announce that I’m writing an appropriations rider to defund Jack Smith, special counsel, his office and the investigation,” she wrote. “This is a weaponized government attempt to take down the top political enemy and leading presidential candidate of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”

“We cannot allow the government to be weaponized for political purposes. I’d also like to ask all of my colleagues to join me in this effort. We have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of government, especially in light that we know that there are others who are guilty of true crimes,” the conservative firebrand remarked, making a reference to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, along with the classified documents that were discovered in President Joe Biden’s garage.

A report from CNN stated that when Smith was appointed to the role of special counsel in November 2022, he would be “given his own budget and can build out a staff to support his work.”

Keep in mind that special counsel Robert Mueller and his probe into the now fully discredited accusations that Trump worked with Russia to steal the 2016 election, cost a staggering $32 million, though portions of that money were given to other parts of the DOJ.

Greene’s idea garnered more and more support as the time for Trump’s arraignment drew near.

“ENDORSE!!!!!! This must happen,” GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida went on to say in response.

Former GOP Senate candidate James Bradley, a resident of California, heaped praise on Greene for her attempt to fight back against the looming Democratic Party apparatus that has installed itself within the federal government.

“She’s the only one who seems to have our back in this fight. So again I stand with Trump, MTG and any other Republicans brave enough to fight the Biden administration’s hostile takeover of America,” he commented in a post on Twitter.

“I don’t know if this will work, but I celebrate the creativity of this initiative!” another Twitter user went on to say. “We need Republicans to get every bit as creative as the Democrat Rat Finks & shove back twice as hard!”
