Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a seat on Pelosi's January 6 committee even as she spreads baseless claims

 It  would be like a mobster demanding to be allowed to investigate RICO violations.

From CNN:

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene would like to serve on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's select committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection, the Georgia freshman told CNN in an interview Thursday.

"Sure. She should put me on the committee. That would be great," Greene told CNN.

Greene's interest in a seat on the select committee is likely to create a new irritant for the lawmakers who hope to get to the bottom of the attack on the US Capitol. In recent weeks, Greene has joined some other conservative Republicans in advancing unfounded claims that the far-left antifa movement or the FBI might have somehow been involved in the rioting on January 6.

CNN has reached out to Pelosi's office for comment.

"Likely to create a new irritant."

There's a definition of "understatement" for ya.
