HOUSE Attorney who questioned Greene says her testimony ‘stretches credulity’

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.

May GOD deal with these scoundrels who pervert the law. We cry out, “Justice for brave Patriots like Marjorie Taor Greene who stand for liberty.”

Perfect response would be...”I don’t recall any of that. But let’s go Brandon.”

Surely he questioned AOC. You won’t find more incriminating statements than AOC and Camel Harris

I suspect Celli is alarmed that grass is green - all on its own. And that the sky is blue - without human intervention. He sounds like a p-whipped dunce who hates independent women.

The entire Jan 6th committee is a FRAUD that “stretches credulity”

He did a lousy smear job. The fact that he actually passed the bar exam stretches credulity.

Mr. Celli’s civil rights practice principally involves representing individual plaintiffs in complex police misconduct, voting rights, and employment discrimination cases.

I watched the total waste of time. There were a half-dozen attorneys rolling up fees at a few thousand dollars an hour.

I was disappointed that she didn’t request all 14,000+ hours of video from committee as part of her ‘defense’ so she could share it with the patriots from Jan 6.

Remember his name and face, for the New Nuremberg Trials after the war. Hanged by the neck until dead, hopefully, along with all the other commie traitors.
