*Retain
1. Throw her *ss out on the street.
2. Put somebody in her place who will be responsible and follow the law.
Isn’t it a FEDERAL CRIME to destroy GOVERNMENT PROPERTY???
Her days are numbered. She knows it.

1663 Protection of Government Property — Protection Of Public Records and Document
Any custodian of a public record who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 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.”
I’ll guarantee it went out the door in a burn bag five minutes later, never to be seen again. That putrid old boozehound.
I’m sure any ‘original’ will be in the Archives - if it isn’t already.
Pelosi is just a senile Drama Queen, who has been ‘useful’. It’s been quite a while since I believed that anyone would allow her near anything really Important.
I think, after tonight, she will have worn out her ‘usefulness’...
Congresscritters are not subject to the FOIA.
Laws are for the little people.
I’m guessing she had some other papers with her and she tore those up just for effect. Pathetic drama queen.
I think Pelosi was just getting ahead of tomorrow by ripping up her Articles of Impeachment.
It was more than just “a copy”. The Constitution requires the President to provide a summary of “the state of the Union, from time to time”. It looked to me like what Nan got was the official parchment version required by the Constitution. I don’t think it should be replaced. It should remain as a monument to the petty, vindictive failure that the Speaker really is.
It's not an original. It's a copy.
Having been a Dept of the Army FOIA officer for 20 years, she did not violate any Federal records law. The OFFICIAL copy of the President’s State of the Union address is a presidential document and MUST be retained and archived as such. President Trump merely gave Ms. Pelousy a courtesy copy for her to have.
Ms. Pelousy’s despicable and childish action of tearing it up, live on an inter-nationally televised broadcast, is to her everlasting discredit and shame, but NOT an illegal action.
