Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced that she filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Merrick Garland a day after the Justice Department's top official declared he endorsed the FBI raid on the Florida home of former President Donald Trump. The question now is, with so many on the left in shock over the raid, will the House take it seriously?

It is well known that most Americans think the democrats should simply stop the shenanigans with Trump. From a failed Russia Hoax that led to an impeachment rejected in the Senate to the FBI's foot-dragging on actual crimes by Hunter Biden documented in Video form on his computer, many Democrats are weary of another 'scandal' that blows up in their face.

Meanwhile, a Republican firebrand in Greene, who is a firm supporter of Trump, said Garland is "endangering, undermining and compromising the justice system" hours after a judge unsealed search warrant documents that show the former President is being investigated for a conceivable Espionage Act violation and possible obstruction of justice. So, will she be able to get Democrats on board who are running in districts that, at best, can be described as purple?

"What they've been doing to [former] President Trump is political persecution," Greene said in a video she tweeted. "Merrick Garland has abused his position of power as the attorney general to persecute [President] Joe Biden's enemies politically. And the whole purpose of this is to prevent [former] President Trump from ever being able to hold office. I'm introducing articles of impeachment on Merrick Garland because we cannot tolerate this in America, where our great institutions are wielded and abused in such a way to impeach people's political enemies."

With Republicans being the minority party, those articles of impeachment have gone nowhere. Still, that could soon change if the GOP wins control of the House in November.

Two reports of impeachment are covered in the image of the resolution conveyed by Greene. One claims Garland politicized the Justice Department, and the other claims the attorney general has failed to uphold his oath of office and lost the trust of U.S. citizens to "execute the laws of the United States without partisan bias."

Trump suggested the records were declassified and, in a statement from his office on Friday, claimed there was a "standing order" by which he declassified documents that left the Oval Office — a claim which legal experts doubt.

Greene's articles of impeachment were hailed by other members of the Republican Party, including Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who tweeted his support Friday night. Reps. Mary Miller (R-IL), Clay Higgins (R-LA), and Andy Harris (R-MD) co-sponsored the impeachment articles, Greene said.

Greene's impeachment articles claimed Garland's endeavor to unseal the search warrant, which Trump in court did not oppose, "constitutes an attempt to intimidate, harass, and potentially disqualify a political challenger to President Joseph R. Biden, Jr."

Eleven sets of classified information, with some marked as top secret, were among the 20 boxes of items obtained by federal agents, according to a review of the inventory by the Wall Street Journal.
