Greene in the court witness chair is a certifiable collection of batshiat insane antics and backtracking. One example...
If you want to see live coverage of her batshiat insane nonsense -- here it is.

That's pretty much how it went. I didn't hear her plead the 5th but she probably never heard of it and certainly had no memory of the 5th the prosecution says is in a constitution somewhere that she never saw herself or has no memory of 18 months later.
Let's take a look at how things have been going with MTG at the insurrection hearing. She does not seem to know a thing about democracy or the principles our country was founded on.

This is very good, online over a year ago and they got near all the excuses she used in the hearing including she has a social media team so is unaware of and not responsible for anything in her Twitter.
Leaked Marjorie Taylor Greene Texts Cast Doubt Upon Forgetful Testimony at Recent Disqualification Hearing
https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol...testimony-at-recent-disqualification-hearing/
The next business day after her sworn testimony in a disqualification hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) saw her text messages to Donald Trump’s ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows reportedly spill into the public domain on Monday. Certain messages published by CNN appear to cast doubt on her sworn statements that she made to remain in office.
In one, Greene apparently urged Meadows to goad Trump into declaring “Marshall law,” misspelling the phrase for the substitution of military authority for civilian rule. Greene insisted, under oath, that she could not remember whether or not she encouraged Trump to do that. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a trained lawyer, trended on Twitter a little more than two years ago for the same misspelling.
“Ms. Greene, did you advocate to President Trump to impose martial law as a way to remain in power?” an attorney for her challengers, Andrew Celli, asked her on Friday.
“I don’t recall,” Greene replied.
When Celli clarified that was not a denial, Greene affirmed: “I don’t remember.”
Green’s memory aside, the Trump loyalist from Georgia appears to have provided that advice as a factual matter.
In a message dated Jan. 17, 2021, Greene reportedly wrote: “In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall law. I don’t know on those things. I just wanted you to text him. They stole this election. We all know. This will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!”
Greene’s attorney James Bopp, a GOP stalwart behind the Citizens United decision and a suite of quickly withdrawn 2020 election challenges, did not immediately respond to Law&Crime’s request for comment. Neither did Celli.
Legal expert Mitchell Epner, a partner at Rottenberg Lipman Rich PC, noted that falling back upon a purported lack of memory during testimony typically insulates people from accusations of perjury.
“It is very rare for someone to be prosecuted for testimony that they don’t remember something,” Epner said. “This might be that rare case. Certainly, the proof is as strong as possible that she made the statement. The context makes it exceedingly unlikely she would forget. The question is whether the Georgia AG or local prosecutor has the will to prosecute.”
A communications director of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr (R) did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
According to CNN, that missive was one of 2,319 text messages that Meadows sent and received between Election Day 2020 and President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021. Other exchanges laid bare Meadows’s communications with daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner and son Donald Trump Jr. They also exposed chats with Rudy Giuliani, “My Pillow” founder and CEO Mike Lindell, and Fox News host Sean Hannity, according to the report.
Closer to Capitol Hill, pro-Trump elected officials like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), and Rep. Greene are all included in the reported trove.
During Friday’s proceedings, Bopp depicted Greene as every much a “victim” of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as others hiding out in Congress. One of the messages indicates that she asked Trump, through Meadows, to call off his mob of supporters.
“Mark I was just told there is an active shooter on the first floor of the Capitol,” Greene reportedly wrote. “Please tell the President to calm people[.] This isn’t the way to solve anything.”
Throughout Friday’s hearing, Greene claimed not to remember much about what she said in the lead-up to Jan. 6, but she insisted that her quoted remarks had been taken out of context.
The hearing, before Administrative Law Judge Charles R. Beaudrot, ended without a ruling.
Beaudrot requested further briefing from the parties before he issues his formal findings on the facts and law to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), who will determine whether Greene is “qualified to seek and hold public office.”

Some would say that the only thing going for Greene was a fuckable face, but my suggestion is, you'd want to be like this spider!
This Male Spider Catapults Itself Into the Air to Avoid Sexual Cannibalism
The arachnids propel themselves to safety at breakneck speeds after they’ve mated to avoid being eaten alive

A male Philoponella prominens spider (top) mates with a female. Shichang Zhang
A bad date can be an unmitigated disaster of awkwardness for humans, but for male spiders it often means being eaten alive by the much larger, hungry female. To avoid being cannibalized after sex, the males of some species have resorted to ripping off their own legs to distract their beloved with a bit of food, or even to tying up the female’s legs with silk before mating with her.
But males of the orb-weaving spider Philoponella prominens opt for another strategy that might appeal to anyone who has ever wished for an eject button during a date that’s gone downhill fast. According to research published today in Current Biology, males use their two front legs to catapult themselves to safety as soon as they’ve mated.
The males that don’t launch themselves out of their lover’s embrace in time suffer a grisly fate.......
