                  STOP THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT

  (Ms. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today I announce that I am 
writing an appropriations rider to defund Jack Smith, Special Counsel, 
his office, and the investigation.
  This is a weaponized government attempt to take down the top 
political enemy and leading Presidential candidate of the United 
States, Donald J. Trump. We cannot allow the government to be 
weaponized for political purposes.
  I would also ask all of my colleagues to join me in this effort. We 
have to use the power of appropriations to stop the weaponization of 
government, especially in light that we know that there are others who 
are guilty of true crimes. Never forget that former Secretary of State 
and Senator Hillary Clinton had classified documents on Anthony 
Weiner's laptop, who was convicted of sexting a minor inappropriate 
pictures.
  This is not how classified documents should be handled. There should 
have been an investigation done into that.
  Don't forget Joe Biden's documents that are sitting in his garage 
next to his Corvette where the door opens and closes.
  Mr. Speaker, America sees this for exactly what it is, and we will 
not allow it to stand.
