Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Terrified of the Media Watching Her Testify Under Oath

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to appear in court on Friday. The media will be there, too, and she’s furious about it.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Totenberg ruled earlier this week that an effort to disqualify the conspiracy theorist from running for reelection over her alleged role in the attack on the Capitol last Jan. 6 can proceed. The group who filed the challenge, Free Speech for People, is alleging that Greene is in violation of the 14th Amendment, which states that if someone took an oath to defend the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion,” they can’t serve in Congress.

Totenberg’s decision means Greene will have to testify under oath on Friday. Greene seems a little worried, perhaps because she’s built her entire career on pushing lies and unfounded conspiracy theories — from Jewish-funded space lasers starting the California wildfires to the 2020 election being stolen — and has little experience telling the truth, which she’ll now have to do lest she open herself up to perjury charges.

“You want to talk about it? It’s a big lie,” she said recently on One America News. “They want to talk about the big lie, this is the big lie and it’s destroying democracy.”

4. Pleading the Fifth in a civil action is problematic.

Unlike a criminal case, depending on the jurisdiction, in a civil case, a refusal to answer a question under the Fifth Amendment can be taken as an admission. If she refuses to answer a question pleading the Fifth, she could be sanctioned by the Court, including striking her pleadings.

MTG is in a bind. Pleading the Fifth is bad optics and really won't work. Even a drunk lawyer would eviscerate her on the stand. Either way, this won't be pretty. Funny as all get-out but not pretty.

ADDED ON EDIT: I just heard the lawyer who will be examining MTG on MSNBC. He was stone sober at 8:30 EDT and appeared very intelligent. MTG should be afraid - very afraid.

6. If she is allowed to run the MAGA fascists will reelect her.

America is broken.

While they have her crime on video there is almost no chance she sees justice.

America is broken.
