Brace for ‘Lawfare’: Marjorie Taylor Greene warns Dems of payback after Trump charged in 34-count indictment

Just hours after the unsealing of a 34-count felony indictment against Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) warned of payback, and the far-right congresswoman from Georgia signaled plans to use the levers of power to dispense retribution against Democrats.
Greene warned of “Lawfare” in a Tuesday afternoon tweet in which she singled out Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton as likely targets.

“If President Trump can be charged for “falsifying business records” and hiding relevant information from voters in the 2016 election, then 51 people from the Intel community, who signed a letter stating the Hunter Biden laptop is fake, CAN BE CHARGED for hiding relevant information from voters in the 2020 election!” Greene said.

“Or hey how about EVERYONE ELSE who suppressed and lied about the Hunter laptop story which withheld information from voters in the 2020 election! Or what about charging Hillary Clinton, who paid for the FAKE Steele Dossier with her campaign funds, that the Deep State and MSM used to create Witch Hunt #1 with!”

Trump's hush money case began in 2016 — but the fraud against America continued through the 2020 election: expert

Former Justice Department official Mary McCord connected the dots between Donald Trump's hush money payments in 2016 to the attacks on the American democracy in 2020.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, McCord cited the first two paragraphs of the "Statement of Facts" published by the D.A.'s office, "paint[ing] this as part of a scheme to influence the 2016 election. And if we start back in 2016 with a scheme to influence the election, and then we think about where we have come since 2016, including the 2020 election, the ongoing scheme to override the will of the people, even in if 2020 election, I think this is just the beginning of the painting of a picture over a series of years of Donald Trump's attempts to undermine democracy, attempts to undermine the rule of law, attempts to avoid accountability. I think what the world saw is that this is a man who is finally being held to account."
