ARTICLE III: ABUSE OF INVESTIGATORY AND PROSECUTORIAL POWERS

In her conduct of the office of Attorney General of the United States, Pamela Bondi, contrary to her oath faithfully to execute the office of Attorney General of the United States and, to the best of her ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of her constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has engaged in conduct that impaired the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries and has violated the constitutional right of citizens and residents of this country. She has, acting personally and through her subordinates and agents, abused the investigatory and prosecutorial powers of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to pursue partisan interests to the detriment of the country; to enable corruption; to protect Donald J. Trump and his allies from oversight and criminal prosecution; to undermine the security and reliability of U.S. elections; and to support his anti-democratic assault on state rights, protesters, free speech, and immigrants. The means used to implement this course of conduct or plan included one or more of the following, carried out personally and through her subordinates and agents: (1) She terminated without cause the Director of the Departmental Ethics Office, who is tasked with overseeing ethics compliance across the Department of Justice. (2) She terminated career public servants in the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for carrying out their duties and fulfilling the obligations of their office as they pertained to investigations and prosecutions that she and Trump disfavor, including investigations and prosecutions into the crimes committed by Trump himself, Trump’s allies, Jeffrey Epstein, and people who carried out the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. These terminations not only rid these critically important institutions of nonpartisan career public servants, they demonstrated to remaining employees that they would be subject to politically motivated retribution if they carry out their jobs ethically and in a nonpartisan manner. (3) She has ordered and orchestrated politically motivated and abusive investigations into Trump’s political opponents or other individuals disfavored by Trump, including former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, California senator Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and Federal Reserve Board of Governors Member Lisa Cook, as well as against six members of Congress who made a video that truthfully informed military servicemembers that they do not have to obey unlawful orders. Her baseless indictments against Comey and James were both dismissed, and a grand jury refused to indict the six members of Congress. Dozens of high-ranking, career prosecutors and investigators have quit rather than pursue baseless and politically motivated investigations. (4) She has closed investigations and dismissed lawsuits and prosecutions into Trump, his allies, and individuals with personal connections to her and others within the Trump administration, including but not limited to: an investigation into Tom Homan’s retention of $50,000 cash from an FBI investigation in 2024; dismissing corruption charges against former New York City Mayor Eric Adams for what the chief prosecutor on the case said, in resigning from her position, was driven by improper considerations; dismissing with prejudice a discrimination lawsuit brought by the DOJ against Musk’s SpaceX in 2023 for its refusal to hire refugees and people granted asylum in the United States, in violation of Federal law; dismissing fraud charges mid-trial against a doctor who was accused of falsifying COVID–19 vaccination cards and destroying government-supplied vaccines; dismissing charges against defendants represented by her own brother; dismissing charges against The Boeing Company over the two passenger jet crashes that killed 346 people in Indonesia and Ethiopia; and ending enforcement of foreign corruption cases, including a long-standing investigation into her own former client, Pfizer. (5) She has abused the power of her office to target and punish journalists in violation of the First Amendment, including by arresting and prosecuting journalist Don Lemon and orchestrating a raid on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson. (6) She has abused the power of her office to prosecute protesters for engaging in protected speech and acts in protest of the administration’s immigration policies and further has violated the DOJ’s own policies by publicly sharing the names and photographs of protesters her office has arrested, which has served an unconstitutional and dangerous chilling effect on the expression of free speech in this country. (7) She is abusing laws intended to protect Americans from domestic terrorism, turning them into mechanisms by which Federal law enforcement and the Department of Justice are unlawfully and unconstitutionally targeting, harassing, and persecuting individuals and organizations who hold viewpoints with which Trump disagrees. She has directed Federal law enforcement agencies to define domestic terrorism threat as Antifa aligned extremists, which in turn she defines as individuals and entities who hold and express ideas with which the Trump administration disagrees, namely extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment. She further has ordered Federal law enforcement agencies to create and maintain secret lists of organizations and individuals that purportedly meet this criteria; to create hotlines by which people can be anonymously reported for their anti-Trump ideologies; and to prioritize the tracking, investigation, and prosecution of these entities and individuals, all of which directly undermine the safety and security of American residents and citizens, turn Federal resources toward the unlawful surveillance and persecution of people on the basis of their protected right to beliefs and speech. (8) She orchestrated and carried out a raid on Fulton County’s election office and seizing thousands of Fulton County election records, including hundreds of thousands of ballots and other records that contain sensitive voter information, purportedly as part of Trump’s scheme to undermine and challenge the 2020 election. (9) She has abused the power of her office to assist Trump in undermining the security and reliability of U.S. elections, including by bringing baseless lawsuits demanding that states turn over their voter rolls; demanding that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz turn over the state’s voter information in exchange for ending the violent occupation of the city by Federal immigration officials, who have already murdered two civilians and have injured, threatened, and harassed countless more; and creating Memorandums of Understandings that require states to surrender control over their voter lists and give the Federal Government the ability to carry out purges with no mechanism for the state or the voters to contest these purges. In all this, Pamela Bondi has acted in a manner contrary to her trust as Attorney General and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore Pamela Bondi, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
