1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4653: #MarjorieTaylorGreene's Evidentiary Hearing and January 6th Violence.
#BodyLanguageExpert #BodyLanguageExpert #EmotionalIntelligence #Lying #Liar #Deception

2/ During her Evidentiary Hearing today, Attorney Andrew Celli asked Marjorie Taylor Greene,
"... Prior to January 6th, do you recall hearing, tha' 'The Washington Post' was reporting, that there, there [sic] ..."

3/ "...were concerns that there were going to be violence, and there was going to be violence in Washington on January 6th?"

4/ Taylor Greene then responds verbally by saying, "I, I did, I had not hear that. I heard no threats of violence, I, that I remember at all — for January 6th."

5/ A careful examination of this exchange reveals a gold mind of incriminating nonverbal, verbal, and paralanguage behavior.

6/ Note Taylor Greene stuttered multiple times. This is not very common with honest anxiety — it's much more commonly associated with deception-associated anxiety.

7/ Also, early in her answer, Taylor Greene says very quickly, "I did", and then immediately says, "I had not hear that" (a non-contraction [as opposed to a the contraction, "hadn't"]).

8/ Taylor Greene also — after a pause, qualified her statement "for January 6th". Does this preclude other days, such as the pipe bombing of January 5th?

9/ Taylor Greene also used the profoundly important deception-associated qualifier, "...that I remember..." (in case it's documented somewhere [á la Kevin McCarthy] audio recordings, she can say, "Ooops, I forgot").

10/ As Mr. Celli, says, "-ington" (Washington Post), #MarjorieTaylorGreene displays a microexpression of a suppressed smile (subtle and very short-lived Duping Delight).

11/ As Celli says, the first "there", Taylor Greene displays a subtle expression of Regret.

12/ During the second time Celli says, "Washington..." (were concerns that there were going to be violence, and there was going to be violence in Washington on January 6th?"), Taylor Greene displays a mild-to-somewhat-moderate expression of Anxiety-Fear.

13/ When she was saying, "...I had not hear that ...", Taylor Greene closed her eyes for an extended time. This was not a blink. This was deceptive-distancing phenomenon and diminished eye contact-associated eyelid closure.

14/ In this context, this extended eyelid closure (a form of diminished eye-contact) is HIGHLY associated with deception.

15/ After she says, "For January 6th", Taylor Greene displays a CLASSIC combination of a Regret-Suppressed Smile expression.

16/ Her expression then morphs into a Contempt-Suppressed Smile Amalgam simultaneous with a deep inhalation.

17/ Displays of Contempt and Disgust are commonly camouflaged with a deep inhalations (For a refresher coarse in this phenomenon, see Bret Kavanaugh's Senate hearings).

Note her partial upper eyelid closure which amplifies her contempt.

18/ Taylor Greene then looks down to her right (quadrant of gaze commonly associated with guilt, sadness, and deception) as she dramatically retracts her jaw (note multiple evanescent neck tissue folds).

19/ This jaw retraction in this context is highly associated with emotional discomfort, guilt, and fear.
It's no coincidence that this looks like she's trying to repress regurgitation or vomit.

(Note: Guilt can be both legal-culpability guilt or shame-associate guilt)

20/ Taylor Greene then reaches up with her left hand to scratch the right side of her nose and adjacent tissue. It this context, a nose scratch, rub, touch is highly correlative with deception.

21/ As she pulls her hand away from her face/nose, we can see she had been covering a suppressed smile.

22/ SUMMARY: This brief video and the associated spoken language, paralaguage, and body language, taken in toto, are extremely correlative with Deception. Majorie Taylor Greene did have foreknowledge of the January 6th Insurrection and the associated planned violence.
