Now that MTG is feeling all soft, and free, and easy, it might be a good time to ask her why before even being sworn-in she was one of the 10 members of the House who met with Trump in December 2020 to discuss “Stop the Steal” plans, and the details of the convo….

“Plead the Fifth” regarding what??

Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.

Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her.
