Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves

EXCERPT:

TAYLOR GREENE: “Let me remind everyone the manner in which you go about your January 6 prosecutions. A man named Matthew Perna, who had no criminal record, peacefully entered the Capitol through an open door on January 6. He stayed inside roughly 20 minutes. He didn’t assault anyone, not a police officer, anyone. He didn’t damage any property. He fully cooperated with the FBI and eventually pled guilty to all charges. But right before his sentencing, you, Mr. Graves, asked the judge for more time to object to the pre-sentence report — by the way, while you weren’t prosecuting many of the crimes in D.C.. This was so that that you could ask for at least a few more years in prison for the guy that walked around in the Capitol for 20 minutes, not assaulting anyone. And this is what you’ve done repeatedly over and over for those who pled or have been convicted on January 6. Well, two weeks later, Matthew Perna hung himself in his garage, Mr. Graves. He was 37 years old. On March 9, 2022, you dropped the case against Matthew Perna because he was dead. The time for weaponizing the Department of Justice needs to come to an end. And because you refuse to prosecute real criminals that are are violating all the crimes here in Washington D.C. — and you want to talk about D.C. residents? They are victims of your abuse of power. And because of that, I am introducing articles of impeachment on you, Mr. Graves, and I yield back the remainder of my time."
