Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for criminal charges for Jan. 6 committee members

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Tuesday that she wants to investigate Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, and anyone else on the Jan. 6 committee, with an eye toward criminal prosecutions.

Greene, who has made herself a vocal ally of those arrested for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has previously been in hot water for her claim that only Republicans stayed in the House chamber Jan. 6 to defend against rioters.

Now, she's calling on the Republican-controlled House to "immediately" create a new select committee "dedicated to ensuring accountability and uncovering the truth behind a day where the American people insist on transparency."

"Compulsory subpoenas should reach every member of the SHAM J6 Committee, along with Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, FBI, DOJ, DC Police, Capitol Police, and J6 witnesses," she wrote on Tuesday.

"However, it’s crucial to recognize that subpoenas and investigations alone fall short. The American people demand true accountability, which is why we must be intent on issuing criminal referrals that lead to potential prosecutions in a future Trump administration."

She went on to claim that those who are "covering up" the events of Jan. 6 deserve equal punishment as those who are convicted for participating in the insurrection attempt.

"Democrats, the DOJ, and FBI are covering up the real events of January 6. Those responsible must be fully investigated and face punishments equal to those imposed on J6 defendants," she wrote on Tuesday.
