The attorney who questioned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during a hearing examining her eligibility to serve in public office following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot said her response to some questions “stretches credulity.”
Asked on CNN if Greene committed perjury, Andrew Celli Jr. said that determination will be made by a judge in the Peach State.
“But I will say it stretches credulity that this woman can make these kinds of statements, make them publicly on her Facebook page and then claim she doesn’t remember. It’s shocking to me,” he added.
Greene testified after a group of Georgia voters challenged her candidacy, claiming that her alleged role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection disqualifies her from running for or serving in Congress. They are seeking to have Greene struck from the primary ballot for her reelection bid next month.
The voters are citing a provision in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, known as the Disqualification Clause, that blocks people from holding federal office if they previously took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution but “engaged in insurrection” against the U.S.
They say she played a key role in stoking the riot and should be held responsible.
During her testimony, Greene said she did not remember the answer to a question a number of times, including if she spoke to government officials about planned protests on Jan. 6 and conversations she may have had with other lawmakers.
Celli told CNN, “Our work in Georgia was really just part of trying to enforce the Constitution. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution forbids someone engaged in insurrection from standing for election to federal office.”
“There are other investigations. There’s a federal investigation, there’s a congressional investigation, and this story has not played out yet,” he added.

They are thinking they can’t beat her in a fair contest. When they arrest the provocateurs who openly incited the “riot,” and release the people who just came in because they didn’t think they were doing anything wrong and just wanted to take some pictures, they can talk about an “insurrection”. BS to the tenth power, all of this.
Everyone, please keep praying for God Almighty to intervene in our country’s rapid decline . . . there is evil abound.
“At this point, what difference does it make”?
He was referring to Hillary, right? Kind of sounds like it…..
I may be wrong, but that appears to be an exceedingly punchable face.
The ONLY answer for any democrat “inquiry” is the Hillary answer: “I don’t recall.”
Sometimes you just have to hit bottom before reality sinks in. You know, like we can cancel Russia by canceling the Rubble only to find that it is the dollar that is being cancelled.
The same day I read that, I saw a clip of Senator Elizabeth Warren accusing a Republican of being a traitor.
Any bets on when Senator Warren's election eligibility trial will start in Massachusetts?
Hostile lawyer, a ‘hired gun’, being ‘interviewed’ by CNN on his opinion of her & her intentions. Such insightful news!
Silly little fagboy.
Well... She is now dangerous to the lefts control factor!
Folks!!! This person called frnewsjunkie is a senior. Old enough to have seen a lot of government. Whatever evil going on in past years, they didn’t want voters to know.
Folks!!! Today they dont care who knows!
Today they live by what they make up and lie about snd steal.
They put a man? In tbe oval office and dont care who thinks hes too far gone.. Cause gokd ole barry is off stage.
Today its “whatever it takes”.. We know how to do it.
That’s right - what’s good for the goose is good for the gander and if Marjorie can’t recall well that’s just the way it is 🤪
You would hit someone with glasses?
Combed his hair with a shoe.
I might offer to clean them first.
A democrat complaining about a lack of credulity; that’s refreshing.
The Marxists are afraid of Marjorie Taylor Greene because she sees their traitorous actions for what they are and says so. Trying to silence people who tell the truth is the way Marxists have been trained to operate. They fear and pull out all the stops in trying to marginalize and muzzle those who shine the light on the reality of their subterfuges of pushing utter lies.
