MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined forces with Democrats to pressure the Trump administration to release the entirety of the Epstein files
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the CIA, FBI and the Justice Department “holds the truth” on Jeffrey Epstein as she vowed to reveal “every damn name” of the purported high-powered clients of the late financier’s underage sex trafficking operation.
The Georgia representative, a Trump loyalist, dialed up the pressure on her own party by speaking at a news conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, hosted by fellow rogue GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California.
Greene has backed Massie’s “Epstein Files Transparency Bill,” along with fellow GOP congress members Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace. They were joined by as many as 100 survivors of Epstein’s abuse at the event.
I think that’s part of the point.
Trump got distracted, as he does, and has stopped doing Putin’s bidding as far as Ukraine.
Putin doesn’t like that, and has reached out to some of his other assets in US government, of which MTG is one. She got vocal about us needing to not strike Iran, which was wildly out of character for her (she generally doesn’t give a shit about the world outside of her weird little fantasy version of it, definitely not about geopolitics).
If she’s now making noise about Epstein, in a way that breaks from Trump, then I think the reason is that Russia is telling her to, because they think Trump needs to be punished on this issue.
I have no idea, but that’s what I think is going on. Trump has lost sight of rule number one in American politics: You dance with them as brung you.
I mean, not really. She’s an isolationist conspiracy theorist QAnon type. Those people are anti-war and think the federal government and Hollywood are inundated with pedophiles. Both of those positions are completely in line with everything she has previously said.
She’s performatively anti-war, but if you look a little more closely you can see that her “anti-war” always lines up with Russia’s “anti-war.” She was very upset that Trump wanted to put new sanctions on Russia if a peace deal wasn’t reached, for example. An anti-war person would be in favor of going to bat for peace, right?
She also was pretty much the only person who voted against mourning the victims of a massive earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Why? Because (in my opinion) the resolution also had bad things to say about Russia’s guy in Syria.
She’s willing to break with Trump, when she gets time amid her busy schedule of various nutty things that her trailer-park schizophrenia has convinced her need to be talked about. When has she ever broken with Russia? (By taking a stand against their aggression in Ukraine for example, the same way she takes a stand against Israel or the US or one particular side in the Syrian civil war or these other geopolitical things she occasionally talks about.)
You make a compelling case. I did a quick check and found this:

She has no morals, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
Yeah. Broadly speaking, the idea of not funding Ukraine’s defense might just be some anti-war populism brainrot, but stuff like “Nazis in Ukraine” and talking about Zelensky as a dictator but being super gung-ho about Assad, things like that, start to cast it in a little bit of a different light.
Full disclosure, I got randomly curious and looked up what she thinks about Maduro, and she’s 100% opposed to the Russia point of view: https://www.usasocialite.com/marjorie-taylor-controversial-comments/ … so who knows, maybe I am wrong.
I don’t like it when anonymous social media conspiracies start making sense :/
