The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for more information about $3.5 million in contributions to her re-election campaign.


In two filings posted to the FEC website on Monday and surfaced on Twitter by Georgia Public Broadcasting reporter Stephen Fowler on Tuesday, the congresswoman's husband Perry Greene—her campaign treasurer— was asked to provide additional details about donations the campaign received during the first two quarters of 2021.

Between January and March, the Greene campaign received $2,558,631.61 in unitemized donations from undisclosed donors, while the campaign received another $967,045.73 in unitemized donations between April and June. The campaign reported a total of more than $4.5 million in donations during the same time period.

Candidates are not legally obliged to itemize donations or disclose the identity of their donors for contributions that total under $200 during an election cycle. For donations that do need to be itemized, campaigns must supply details including the name of the donor, the donor's address, occupation, employer and the date of the donation must be provided.

I'm sure the FEC is blatantly picking on Empty Greene because she's such an important right-wing asset.

1. She is such a Republican

A grifty liar.

[ecstatic]

2. Holy shit. Profiting off the insurrection?

Who the f*ck is donating to that dimwit? I hope the Jan 6 committee is looking at this as well.

[Ziggysmom]

3. I'd rather wipe my ass with $$$ than donate it to her or any repug!

Campaign finance reform is really needed. Warren's plan always impressed me.

8. That Image Reminds Me Of This Anecdote

source

In 1954, as segregationist organizations were springing up all over the South in response to Brown vs. Board of Education, the chief of police and a Baptist minister in Plains, Ga., visited a peanut farmer at his warehouse and urged him to join the local White Citizens' Council. The farmer refused. The men returned a few days later and told the farmer he was the only white man in Plains who hadn't signed up. That didn't change his mind. The men returned a third time with some of the farmer’s customers, who threatened to boycott his business. If he couldn't afford the $5 dues, they would lend it to him. "I've got $5," the farmer responded. "And I'd flush it down the toilet before I’d give it to you."

The farmer, in case you haven't guessed, was Jimmy Carter....

19. TY.

4. There is a perfectly innocent explanation, I'm sure

They didn’t itemize because 35000 donors in her district gave $100, so no reporting was required. If you believe THAT one, I have her Nobel Prizes for literature and physics to show you.

5. Lock her up!!! nt

6. How Much Is That In Rubles? nt

7. She is a major grifter. Has done nothing for her constituents and defies all norms.

Most of the GOP are supreme grifters and use their politics and candidacies for becoming millionaires, especially the ones who were dirt poor and grievous about those "others."

10. Prediction... Nothing will happen

I hope I'm wrong, but the way these people seem to work these days is they all get away with everything.

13. Opinion... I agree with you. (n/t)

[Ohioboy]

17. Why isn't MTG in big trouble for threatening communication companies?

She, along with Kevin McCarthy, are currently getting away with making blatant threats to private companies that comply with legal subpoenas! Why aren't all the right- wing media crying fascism?

[orangecrush]

11. KICK

I'll bet if all the contributions are traced, it goes right back to Trump and russia.

[Beachnutt]

12. Waste of time, nothing will happen to her

if she broke the law..
rethugs are above the law in this country.

[erronis]

14. That's unitemized "donations", not "deductions". nt

[Farmer-Rick]

15. Check the Koch brothers' pockets

I bet you'll find them $3 million short.

[Roy Rolling]

16. Meet the Smoking Gun

This undisclosed list of deplorables contains every moron who aided and abetted the January 6th insurrection. I want to see those people’s names, too. If anyone in my neighborhood contributed I want to boycott their business and social circle.

I have rights, too. I wanna know who is contributing to her, that’s why it’s the law.

[rickford66]

18. The bright side ...

these contributions probably wont be used in any way for election purposes. I read that even though TLG raised records amounts of money for 2020, the campaign was running out of money. MTG will use it for herself also.

20. Marjie will face no legal problem

They can't put insane people on trial.

21. heehee

[cstanleytech]

22. "right-wing asset." should be "right-wing asshole."

You came close though to the proper spelling.

[lagomorph777]

23. "Donations" not "Deductions"

FEC, not IRS.
