Marjorie Taylor Greene Is About To Have Access To ‘The Most Sensitive Secrets In Government’: Report

Now that she has successfully helped Kevin McCarthy ascend to the highest position in Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is poised to have tremendous power that could well wind up threatening American national security.

The New York Times reports House Republicans are preparing to put forth a resolution creating a special subcommittee within the Judiciary Committee that will turn its focus to the FBI and U.S. intelligence services to investigate what they claim is the “weaponization of the federal government” in the Biden administration.

Greene will be a key figure in all of the planned investigations because McCarthy has promised to allow her to serve on committees after she was stripped of her committee assignments by Democrats in the last Congress.

The Georgia Republican has publicly stated that she would love to serve on the Judiciary Committee even though she doesn’t have a law degree. And if Greene is indeed placed on the committee or a Judiciary subcommittee, she would instantly have access to some of the most top-secret information in the world because Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) wants his committee to “receive the same highly classified information that intelligence agencies make available to their oversight committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.”

“Intelligence Committee members have access to some of the most sensitive secrets in the government, including information about covert actions, which are not shared with other lawmakers. Traditionally, House leaders tend to place on the intelligence panel members of their party they think are especially trustworthy not to disclose classified information.”

The Times also notes that “While Mr. Jordan’s investigative unit will be housed within the Judiciary Committee, its 13 members — eight of whom would be Republicans — will not be limited to lawmakers on that panel.”

McCarthy will be hard-pressed to deny Greene a seat on some committee that has access to secret information, and that alone is reason to fear for U.S. national security.

 “Mr. McCarthy has already promised her a spot on the House Oversight Committee, and she broke with other far-right members to support his speakership bid from the first ballot, as did Mr. Jordan. Such a situation could result in lawmakers trying to scrutinize a Justice Department investigation as that inquiry potentially examines some of those same lawmakers’ conduct concerning the events of Jan. 6.”

A perfect example of another member of the GOP who could also soon be allowed to access such sensitive information is Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), whose cell phone was seized by the FBI in August of last year as part of the ongoing investigation of the Capitol insurrection. When asked if he would be allowed to access information related to Jan. 6, Perry had this to say on Sunday:

“Why should I be limited — why should anybody be limited just because someone has made an accusation? I get accused of all kinds of things every single day, as does every member that serves in the public eye. But that doesn’t stop you from doing your job. It is our duty and it is my duty.”
