Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , a far right provocateur, has called the Department of Justice's prosecutions of leaders of the January 6 insurrection and the indictments of Donald Trump .

Greene and fellow far rightists such as Matt Gaetz have urged the defunding of the special counsel’s office.

House Speaker McCarthy has acquiesced in this, throwing one dagger after another at the body of American democracy, not in order to pursue some grand political vision.

Republican politicians are throwing up smokescreens designed to hide, rather than bring to the light of day, the truth around Trump ’s actions, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: They’re not looking to let the institutions of liberal democracy decide; they seem to want to blow the whole damn thing up.
