Marjorie Taylor Greene

Federal prosecutors are demanding that an accused Capitol rioter be forbidden from presenting an alibi in her trial because video shows her walking inside the building.

Pauline Bauer, a pizza shop owner from western Pennsylvania, was captured on surveillance video shoving police officers and calling for the hanging of House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress during the Jan. 6 insurrection, and prosecutors want to limit the arguments she may present in court, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Appearing on CNN's "New Day," the attorney who grilled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Friday during an administrative court hearing was asked by host John Berman to provide the one specific charge that could be levied against her that would keep her off the ballot.

According to attorney Andrew Celli Jr., it "stretches credulity" that the conservative lawmaker could not recall the conversations she had before and during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

On Monday, writing for The Guardian, former Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko outlined the only way to defeat Vladimir Putin in his invasion of Ukraine.

"As shocking as these stories are to hear, this is exactly what we should expect from the savage Russian army led by the dictator Vladimir Putin," wrote Yuschenko. "My own history with Putin goes back to 2000, when we were both prime ministers of our respective countries. It was only when I ran to be president of Ukraine in 2004 that he actively campaigned against me. The extreme lengths he was willing to go to in order to get what he wanted became clear. I could not allow this to deter me; after I won, I realised that I needed to try to keep a workable relationship with him as the leader of our neighbour in the east. But the Putin I dealt with then no longer exists. He has since become a completely isolated and brutal despot who cannot stand any opposition."

The results of a school board election in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in which a slate of progressive candidates defeated a well-funded group of right-wing candidates, could prove instructive for Democrats across the country in upcoming races, according to New Republic editor Michael Tomasky.

Tim Nordin and fellow school board incumbents Marquell Johnson and Stephanie Farrar easily won reelection. Nordin, who received a death threat against him, earned more votes than any of the other candidates.

More evidence has emerged that Republican lawmakers coordinated with Donald Trump's White House on efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, but congressional investigators are reportedly "afraid" of issuing subpoenas to their colleagues.

Testimony shows then-chief of staff Mark Meadows and members of the Freedom Caucus talked about sending Trump supporters marching to the U.S. Capitol as Congress certified Joe Biden's election win, but New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Jan. 6 committee members are highly unlikely to compel them to testify.

According to two CNN analysts, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) may have ducked criminal prosecution for perjury, among other crimes, with her carefully chosen words before an administrative law judge on Friday.

The controversial lawmaker was peppered with questions by a lawyer representing clients attempting to make the case that she should be banned from the ballot due to her alleged connection to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 as lawmakers attempted to certify the election of now-President Joe Biden.

In a deep dive into Sarah Palin's re-emergence onto the political scene after her career as a reality TV star flattened out, former GOP campaign manager Steve Schmidt poured cold water on her aspirations, saying the world has moved on without her and she's not all that interesting in a world preoccupied with whatever Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are saying and doing.

With Politico contributor Joanna Weiss detailing the former half-term governor's political rise and fall, Schmidt-- who oversaw Republican Sen. John McCain's ill-fated presidential campaign with the Alaskana conservative as his running mate -- said Palin was always more interested in fame.

In a column for the conservative National Review, Kevin Williamson made the case for keeping Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on the ballot while at the same time imploring voters in her district to vote her out of office the first chance they get.

With the Review headlining his piece, "Marjorie Taylor Greene Should Go," Williamson said attempts to keep her off the ballot are misguided and that it is up to voters to send her packing.

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile pushed back against former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) on Sunday after he insisted that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy would not be held accountable for his lies about Jan. 6, 2021.

During a panel discussion on ABC's This Week program, host Martha Raddatz asked Christie if McCarthy would be damaged by tapes that prove he lied when he denied saying that former President Donald Trump acknowledged some responsibility for the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Addressing the day of testimony in the administrative hearing for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), CNN's Margaret Hoover confessed that she is a Republican, but she's still not sure she has the ability to explain Greene.

"This is insanity," Hoover said, agreeing with CNN host Don Lemon.

On Friday, during the hearing against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), her attorney objected to a line of questioning about White House discussions of declaring martial law to overturn the 2020 presidential election — saying that he also represents former President Donald Trump, and claiming that any discussions on that are covered by executive privilege.

In response, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance expressed her shock at the claim of executive privilege, claiming that it is a "heckuva conflict of interest" for this attorney representing Greene to also have been involved in discussions with Trump — and noting the multiple ways that executive privilege does not, in fact, apply to this situation.

On Friday, The Kansas City Star reported that disgraced former Missouri governor and current GOP Senate candidate Eric Greitens, already accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, had a mysterious half-minute silent 911 call placed from his house a few years ago.

"In May 2019, a 911 operator answered a call coming from former Gov. Eric Greitens’ lakeside home in eastern Missouri. Twenty-nine seconds of near-silence followed," reported Kacen Bayless and Jonathan Shorman. "The 911 operator quickly called back. Greitens, answering the phone, apologized and assured her everything was fine. 'It was kids playing with the phone,' he said."

On Friday's edition of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) said that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is far from the only Republican who has been trying to hide his true feelings about former President Donald Trump.

"I have to ask if you heard the tapes before?" asked anchor Nicolle Wallace.
