Rep. Gaetz Files Ethics Charges Against Pelosi, Saying She Broke the Law with Her SOTU Stunt

No one is above the law, eh Nancy?

PJM – On Wednesday evening, Republican congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida announced that he is filing an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi for her disgraceful stunt after President Trump finished his State of the Union address.

“I’m filing an ethics complaint against @SpeakerPelosi for destroying @realDonaldTrump’s State of the Union speech,”  he wrote on Twitter.

According to Gaetz, Nancy’s behavior was a potential violation of 18 USC 2071.

Here’s what the law states;

§2071. Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally

(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

  1. She looked like an entitled child tearing up something that wasn’t good enough for her spoiled whim – actually she unlawfully mutilated a document in her custody.

    Indeed, NOBODY is above the law

  2. In general, we’re on borrowed time despite all the success of Trump. They have filled their ranks with angry leftists and parasitic moochers in ever growing numbers. The illegal population is estimated to be somewhere around 40-50 million and only a tiny trickle of deportations. If not this coming election by 2024 we’re in real trouble.
    If anyone has a sunnier view of the situation I could use the good news.

  3. Stupid idea, Matt. Overreacting will turn this win into a loss. Pushing too hard and too far will backfire. Let it lie as it is. This will turn Nancy into a victim.

    Why is it Republicans can’t stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

  4. Pelosi reminds me of my once four year old daughter pitching aa shit fit in the cereal aisle because I wouldn’t buy a expensive e brand name with a toy. I just left her screaming and kicking. Pay the witch no mind, sooner or later a house will fall on her.
