40 Conservative Groups File Ethics Complaint Against Speaker Pelosi: Partisan ‘Weaponized Impeachment

Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, spearheaded the filing of a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) “unconstitutional, partisan investigation” of President Donald Trump.

The complaint also targeted the impeachment resolution passed by the House on Thursday 232-196 — a tally of those opposed to the resolution that included two Democrats and every Republican member.

The Hill reported on the letter:

“Speaker Pelosi’s conduct is an encroachment across the constitutionally-mandated separation of powers. She has no business examining or investigating the president’s legitimate exercise of his authority to determine the foreign and national security policy of the United States,” the complaint stated.

“In launching her ‘official’ impeachment inquiry without benefit of a vote of the full House of Representatives and without indicating anything remotely qualifying as ‘treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors’ that is the subject of the inquiry, Speaker Pelosi has weaponized impeachment,” the complaint continued.

“She and her Democratic colleagues are using the impeachment process as a weapon of partisan political battle, rather than as the means to defend the Constitution our Framers meant it to be,” the complaint stated.
