RINO weakling Kevin McCarthy is hoping to take the gavel from Nancy Pelosi in the upcoming Congress. But McCarthy does not have the votes to win the Speakership. According to Gateway Pundit sources, there are 10 Republican holdouts who WILL NOT vote for Kevin McCarthey precisely because they do not believe he is a fighter and up for the job of Speaker of the House.
On Friday the Biden regime announced a new garbage Special Counsel probing into President Trump on charges that he left the White House with documents that he unclassified and they he led an unarmed insurrection into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 with FBI operatives leading the charge.
On Friday, Marjorie Taylor Greene texted Steve Bannon on The War Room after the announcement of a new Special Counsel investigation. MTG told Steve Bannon she spoke with Kevin McCarthy and he will not fund another garbage special counsel investigation of President Trump.
Steve Bannon: By the way, MTG just texted me. She talked to Kevin McCarthy and wanted to report that Kevin McCarthy said “100%” there will be no funding for a special counsel. Zero funding for a special counsel. TRENDING: War Room: MTG says She Talked to Kevin McCarthy and There Will be NO FUNDING for latest Special Counsel Investigation of Trump (VIDEO)
MTG also tweeted this out.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG ·
Follow Holman Rule.
Look it up!
@GOPLeader is going to put it in place.
That means no money for Garland’s politically weaponized Special Counsel.
Don’t promise too many jobs!
Whoops defunded. 6:54 PM · Nov 18, 2022

Yes ! The Holman Rule!
How did quid pro joe come up with a work around for that $400 billion student loan forgiveness program??
Was that run thru san fran nan?
MTG for speaker. She has bigger balls than most of them.
And we’re supposed to trust that?
I know a lot of folks on here do t like the guy, but he cites info from the NYT. if it’s legit, then there’s no basis for any of this, I would think.
On top of that, wouldn’t funding for a DOJ Special Counsel come from the DOJ? Why would the House have anything to do with it?
I think MTG is getting played by Sugar Lips. Wants her vote and her help in getting other Freedom Caucus to vote for speaker then he flips the tables on her. He is not to be trusted.
Holman Rule
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holman Rule is a rule in the United States House of Representatives that allows amendments to appropriations legislation that would reduce the salary of or fire specific federal employees, or cut a specific program. The rule was first enacted in 1876 and rescinded in 1983, and was reinstated in January 2017 on a temporary basis.[1]
It was in effect for the entirety of the Republican-controlled 115th Congress and several amendments were proposed that progressed to a vote of the full House, but none were adopted. The rule was rescinded once more at the beginning of the 116th Congress upon Democrats taking control of the chamber.

The rule is an exception to the prohibition against provisions in appropriations legislation that change existing law.[2][3] Prior to the rule’s reinstatement in 2017, cuts could be made to agencies broadly, but not to specific programs or employees.[4]
The rule was used to eliminate 29 customs positions in 1932 and another eight in 1939, to allow a provision reducing the number of naval officers in 1938, and to allow a 1952 amendment disallowing the filling of vacancies in independent agencies until the agency’s workforce had been reduced by 10%.[2] Prior to 2017, it appeared never to have been used to cut a specific worker’s salary with the intent of incentivizing them to quit.[5] The rule cannot be used if the reductions are contingent on other events, or to give broad authority to agency heads to fire workers.[3][5]
The constitutionality of bills passed under the Holman Rule has been questioned by legal scholars in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in United States v. Lovett (1946).
That case dealt with an act of Congress, passed during the Red Scare, that defunded the salaries of 39 employees accused of having Communist sympathies. The Court held that, under these circumstances, the Act was no “mere appropriation measure”, but was effectively a bill of attainder prohibited by Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution.

GOT IT FROM YOU YESTERDAY! :)
Thinking MTG is a pretty sharp cookie.
Good God! Hasn’t she learned anything from the past? That bastard in a heartbeat would backstab her and the rest of the gang! Sorry MG but that guy gotta go! He’s a backstabbing weasel spineless POS bastard! Do not trust him!
They’ll just fund it before the new congress takes over.
To my knowledge ALL NEW federal funding, including for DOJ, FBI, etc has to initiate in House of Reps.
.
Yes, the timing was before the New Congress.
I seriously doubt they defund it successfully.
The GOP wanted Mueller to expand, and were championing new protections for a Special Counsel.
Do I know all the maneuvers? No, but this would be out of character.
.
Only if senate republicans fail to Filibuster the funding of special counsel during lame duck session.
The DOJ can pay for it out of the funding already approved. They dont need Congress!
.
The Secret Service gave Hunter Biden protection for years after it was no longer authorized and paid for.
I have to believe the FBi funds it from another pocket.
.
.
Hell, the FBi will have Volunteers!
Did you read any of those Texts?
It was like 13 of the most Trump hating Resistance fighters in DC.
I don’t think DOJ has excess dollars sitting around to fund a long drawn out special counsel investigatiom. Do you have any idea what the Robert Mueller team spent? It was yuge!
