    I hope the actions of these unamerican commie a holes was burned into the retinas of millions of Americans and will be remembered in November!!  With the way the demoncraps have acted is it to much to hope for to have the biggest landslide in history sweeping Trump, the Senate and the House into historic levels!!

     my wife has been arguing she will be charged with destruction of a federal document among other charges 
     my take sadly it  will be like a klinton issue  nothing to see here move on 
    it would be so much fun too see charges brought up and her removed as chairman for behavior unbecoming ,, but the left will be erecting monuments and a day in history for standing up to the president .

    The notion that ripping up a copy of a speech rises to the level of criminal is hilarious.

    Please tell us all what precedent there is for criminalizing ripping up a copy of a speech?  Care to cite to some case law?  What exactly is the penalty and how does the cited US code apply?

    As I figured. You have exactly nothing of substance to add, just personal attacks. Carry on thy way, won't you now?

    my understanding is those speeches are signed and given to congress during the speech, then are supposed to be turned over to the national archives for proper storage.  not official enough????

    Perhaps you missed the fact that your answers are contained in the OP. There were no "personal attacks," levied. I tried to answer your question, you chose not to look in to the statute, that Capt. Fun cited in his OP. You can do your own research on the statute. (Or not.)

    The copy that is handed to the Speaker at the SOTUS is the Official Document that is destined for the archives.  It is not just another printout it is the Official Document.  That is the issue.  I know that was not on the PE exam,  but geez...  try to keep up. :D

    Capt, I've seen this thing posted in other places. It's absurd, and I'm surprised you've latched on to it.  This is the sort of nonsense word nut daily would publish. Do you have some credible critical analysis I've missed?

    As absurd as the whole Demoncrat Kangaroo court?  They referenced no code, presented no actual evidence and provided no witnesses.  This is actually a law and there is video evidence of her violating it.  What is so absurd.   Barr should hound her relentlessly until she resigns or is found guilty. 

    Yes, quite possibly that absurd. Calling what went on "Kangaroo court" does a disservice to actual kangaroo court proceedings by the comparison, but I digress. Yes, there is federal code that governs destruction of official documents. I've seen exactly zero critical analysis that would suggest it applies to a copy of a speech handed to the Speaker.  Further that anything beyond some inconsequential monetary fine would seem inappropriate.

    And since we have some Olympian skill level conclusion jumpers on this forum: no, I don't think that vile hag should get away with anything, but let's be serious. This is an absurd application of the law.

    i predict here shortly that a move to oust Nutsy Pelosi as SOH will begin.   there are plenty of Senators sniping at her right now,  and with the House minority not getting anything done to their liking,  she will bear the brunt of a big shakeup.her days of power are numbered

    Some of the left wing media pundits are jumping in to defend her that it wasn't a protected document. Perhaps it was or wasn't I don't know. I do know that anyone like her should not be in a position of power representing or pretending to represent Americans

    The Constitution requires a State of the Union report, which becomes part of the Congressional Record. Pelosi was given the official archival copy of that document, which she destroyed. Such an act clearly violates Federal statute. I do not understand what some people do not understand about that.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    It was not the document Trump handed to her.  That one was in a blue binder that was smaller than the pages she tore up which had obviously not been folded.  My guess is that the one she tore up was a large print version so that she could follow it without readers.  

    That said, even if it was an 'official' document, do we really want to be so petty as to make a Federal Case over something so trivial?  By tearing it up, she put the final stamp on the pettiness that was the impeachment trial.  Let her stew in her own filth; move forward and ignore the little bitty.

    while I agree with don and horse drifter, the reason they do things like that is because they know there will be no repercussions, and while  removal from office or jail time may be severe, she does at least need her fingers swatted or it will only continue to get worse the more they get by with........

    We got bigger fish to fry than to convict this pathetic worn out old hag for her sophomoric stunt.
    If the Trump Justice Dept. did charge her, she would instantly become the biggest martyr, to the Libs which of course includes NBC and CNN, she'd be the biggest martyr since Joan of Arc.
    Leave the loony, worn out old hag alone.

    I think somebody already has asked for or filed a request for official reprimand.
    Regardless, her act was petulant, pathetic - and poison. In so doing, she threw a dead goat down the Democrats' own well.
