Greene threatened to shut down the telecom companies after the 1/6 Committee went after her phone records. She has been a vocal supporter of the insurrectionists, and has even floated a 2024 run for president.
Witnesses are now placing Rep. Greene at meetings planning Trump’s coup. Her phone records will likely reveal that she was involved in the plot. The 1/6 investigation could result in a criminal referral of Rep. Taylor Greene for prosecution.
The witness accounts from the 1/6 attack planners show why House Republicans have been so terrified of any investigation into the coup and the attack. House Republicans were involved. Lots of House Republicans. One of the unanswered questions for the committee is how did the Capitol attackers know exactly where to go when they were inside?
The answer is that they had help from House Republicans.
