Two House GOP leaders have officially called on Attorney General William Barr to determine whether House Speaker Nancy Pelosi broke federal law when she ripped up President Trump's State of the Union speech earlier this year.
Pelosi famously tore the speech at the conclusion of Trump's February address in the House chamber "because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives," Pelosi said at the time. "I tore it up. I was trying to find one page with truth on it. I couldn't."

The GOP lawmakers believe Pelosi could have violated 18 U.S.C. § 2071 which deals with the mutilation of official federal records and sets a criminal penalty of destroying documents of up to three years in prison.
Witch wouldn’t know the truth if it reached up and bit her in the @$$!
The Democrats would have filed multiple complaints the NEXT DAMN DAY!
You are TOO SLOW WITTED and TOO SLOW FOOTED to be believed!!
Nancy does a ton of Stupid things some of them have to be Crimes ,LOL
As much as I can’t stand Piglosi and want to see her executed for sedition and treason, she didn’t destroy official government records. That would required destroying all or the last vestige of a record available in the archives, not a copy of another document.
Idiots.
Looks like someone forget to take their Zanax today.

They should forget petty things like this and instead make the Dems own the rioting and the lawlessness and the tyranny. That is what is on people’s minds right now. Do you want your business burned down while the police are just looking on? Do you want to be cornered in a restaurant by some mob demanding that you give their salute? Tell the stories of people who have been ruined by cancel culture. This needs to be the issue, not some theatrical BS that most people forgot about.
Having spent the last 14 years as an archivist, records manager, and FOIA officer for the US Army, I will state that the “official record copy” of his State of the Union Address would be the one kept by the White House records manager and is in electronic format. He gave her a COURTESY COPY to have while he spoke.
The only thing Pelosi did in tearing it up, was to grossly embarrass herself in front of a nation wide audience.
Foolish...nothing good can come of this November 3rd-wise.
Oh, yes, it is a valid "destruction of federal records" charge. BUT! The repubbies waited this long to complain?
In the year 2525?
Bilbo has to know we’re pissed, so he’s throwing us a morsel to show he cares about doing something, before the election.
I’m still waiting for his ANTIFA will be declared a Terrorist org promise.
Guess there is nothing else of importance happening
