‘A lousy attorney’: Marjorie Taylor Greene slams Jack Smith after Trump target letter

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Tuesday called the special counsel’s target letter to Donald Trump in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election “outrageous” and suggested the so-called deep state represents the “most dangerous thing happening in our country.”

Greene during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” responded to Trump’s announcement that he received a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith.

Trump on Tuesday morning in a post on his Truth Social website called the latest development in his ongoing legal woes: “HORRIFYING NEWS."

“It’s outrageous, I can't believe that this is going on,” Greene said. “This has been happening for eight years to President Trump and every single time over and over, he's been proven innocent and the American people will not tolerate this.”

The far-right congresswoman then took aim at the special counsel.

“I mean, look at Jack Smith,” Greene said. “He's such a lousy attorney. He's got overturned cases, mistrials and judicial rebukes and he has his target set on President Trump. And it's all to basically change the 2024 election.”

Asked if she believes the investigation is a form of election interference, Greene said, “I do, I absolutely do."

“It's the same thing we saw with the Hunter Biden laptop. They want to control the narrative in the news, and they believe that they can paint President Trump guilty of some kind of seditious conspiracy. They believe they can convince the American people that they can't elect President Trump and that they have to reelect Joe Biden.”

Ingraham asked Greene her assessment of what populist conservatives call the deep state.

“How significant is this problem of that entrenched bureaucracy of career civil servants working and burrowed in against any – I don't care if it's Trump or DeSantis, or someone else. – Working against his or her agenda in the future? How critical is this that this be finally tackled once and for all?” Ingraham asked.

“It’s the most dangerous thing happening in our country,” Greene said.

“I listened to everything you just laid out and I want you to know it should be a lesson for every single person in Washington. Everything you said is exactly how people in my district feel at home. It's how the American people feel. They don't want the career, establishment Washington, federal employees coming up with the policies and making the decisions on their behalf.”
