Republicans want AG to determine whether Pelosi committed criminal act for ripping up Trump speech

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."
Republican Policy Committee Chairman Gary Palmer, R-Ala., and Republican Study Committee Chairman Mike Johnson, R-La., wrote a letter to Barr on Tuesday asking he deliver a definitive answer on whether "Pelosi committed a criminal act by destroying an official copy of the State of the Union speech delivered to her" by Trump.
The calls come as Pelosi is being slammed for getting her hair done at a California hair salon that has been closed due to coronavirus restrictions.
“Nancy Pelosi’s famous tantrum on the House floor was more than disgraceful; she violated her responsibility to preserve official documents delivered to the House of Representatives,” Palmer said in a statement. “We ask the Attorney General to review this scandalous outburst, not simply because it offended every American, but because it set a precedent for radical politicians to hijack state events for partisan performance art and possibly break the law with, thus far, no consequence.”

It should be investigated. President Trump speech (hard copy - official copy for history) belong to the American taxpayer not Pelosi. Jail time will never happen but she should be made to apologize to President Trump and the American people for destroying a part of American history. It was pathetic to see a elected official (high ranking) make such a cool if herself. Apologize to all members of Congress and Americans on stage.

Come on man. If Clinton, OBAMA, Biden, Comey, Paige, Holder, Rice, Lynch, NADLER, or SHIFF aren't in jail or charged. This dinosaur won't be either. We have a corrupt judicial system and Supreme Court. REPUBLICANS are SPINLESS. Not ALL. Just the ones in charge. Mccarthy, McConnell, and Graham are the ring leader's. They talk while criminals Walk.

She'll just remain the embarrassment and stone in everybody's shoe that she's been for years, a product of a Democrat family dynasty about to come to a wrinkled end.

Consider the source. She is white trash spawned from filth. Both her mother and father were scum who are burning in hell Her family used to die younger but her brother lived a longer life and she will too because even the devil doesn't want any more of them yet.

Omg, let it go. This is one more example of the get nothing done pettiness in Congress. And both sides are in it together. Pelosi probably told them to do that.

She should have been impeached immediately she represents this country as the House Speaker and never before in history has anyone that held this office acted so blatantly hostile. She is a traitor to this country and it was very wrong and she should go. It should be Trump's first duty in his second term, and should be done and should have already been done Fired and disgraced should be her history..

If you think the wrinkle word would hurt her how about she has millions and can't get a set of dentures that don't click and don't fit. She is cartoon material and no not talking about her arrogance and stupidity, go back to the hair salon and don't wear a mask like the rest of the country is ordered to do.
