Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
- Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
- Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
- Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached. |
Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security:
H. Res. 411 Cosponsors:
- Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
- Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
- Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN)
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
- Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
- Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL)
On Wednesday, May 17, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
Since assuming office, Secretary Mayorkas has aided and abetted the complete invasion of our country by deliberately flooding our nation with drugs, terrorists, and illegal aliens.
He stated under oath that we have operational control of our borders, while also under oath, he stated that no one has ever achieved operational control of the border. He lied to the American people, he lied under oath, and he has blatantly violated his oath of office.
Under Mayorkas's watch, he has allowed approximately 6 million illegal border encounters, a record amount of fentanyl seized at the border, totaling approximately 40,000 pounds, more than 193 people on terrorist watchlists caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry, approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities, approximately 1,424 deaths of illegals at the Southern border (853 dead illegals – the most ever in a 12-month period—died trying to cross the Southern border in 2022), and an approximate 870% increase in border encounters in just one sector of the Northern border.
During his reign, the annual number of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) referred to HHS custody after crossing illegally has more than tripled over the past two years. There have been more than 348,812 unaccompanied illegal children encountered at the Southern border, with at least 85,000 of these children being missing, and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor.
Secretary Mayorkas has repeatedly pulled over 50% of border agents from guarding the border wall and moved them to processing, caring for, and transferring illegals, leaving huge gaps for cartels and smugglers to exploit.
The Secretary provided copious amounts of baby formula to illegal aliens at one of the largest processing centers in the country, all while American mothers and infants were intensely suffering from severe shortages. He flooded a hospital’s maternity unit with illegal aliens, so much so, that American mothers were forced to delay inductions.
Mayorkas canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, violated the law by directing DHS to "mass-parole" illegal aliens into the U.S. when federal law specifically prohibits this, encouraged asylum fraud, abused the credible fear standard, and exercised mass catch and release policies.
Not only has Secretary Mayorkas enabled child exploitation, sex and drug trafficking, and fentanyl overdoses, but he has also done everything in his power to put Americans last. His policies, directives, and statements have created a national security crisis and have endangered the lives of American citizens.
As a result of intentionally failing to secure our homeland and putting the lives of every American in danger from his very first day in office, Alejandro Mayorkas is unfit to hold the office of Secretary of Homeland Security and must be impeached. |
Merrick Garland, U.S. Attorney General:
H. Res. 410 Cosponsors:
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
- Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
- Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL)
- Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL)
- Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also introduced Articles of Impeachment on May 17th against Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Since Merrick Garland took over as Attorney General in March of 2021, he has completely weaponized the Department of ‘Injustice.’ The politicization of the DOJ has resulted in the persecution of the left’s political enemies, and a two-tiered justice system.
Garland has used the FBI as a personal police force for his boss, Joe Biden. From investigating parents who protest their local school boards, to going after pro-life activists and Catholics, to persecuting former and future President Donald J. Trump, Merrick Garland’s corruption knows no bounds.
Antifa and Black Lives Matter terrorists have caused billions of dollars of damage to property. Instead of prosecuting these crimes, Garland has persecuted Americans who engaged in legitimate political protest, people who were overwhelmingly nonviolent.
The DOJ’s persecution of Joe Biden’s primary political adversary, Donald J. Trump, is anti-American. Raiding the former President’s home for legally declassifying documents is a transparent violation of justice. Persecuting a declared candidate for President of the United States is nothing short of election interference.
Therefore, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland must be impeached. |
Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation:
H. Res. 406 Cosponsors:
- Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL)
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
- Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
- Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL)
- Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Tuesday, May 16, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Under Wray’s watch, the FBI has intimidated, harassed, and entrapped American citizens that have been deemed enemies of the Biden regime. As such, Director Wray has turned the FBI into Joe Biden and Merrick Garland's personal police force.
The Soviet-style tactics used by the FBI against normal Americans are unprecedented in this country. FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle told congressional investigators that the FBI created a terrorist threat tag following the Dobbs Supreme Court decision in 2022. O’Boyle confirmed that the purpose of the tag was to target pro-life individuals. On September 23, 2022, armed FBI agents in tactical gear raided the family home of Mark Houck, a pro-life Catholic and father of 7 young children, because he obstructed access to an abortion clinic.
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin obtained a leaked FBI document that targets Traditional Latin Mass Catholics. The document, titled “Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in ‘Radical-Traditionalist Catholics’ or RTCs,” was reported out of the Richmond Field Office and dated for January 23, 2023. This leaked document outlined a plan for the FBI to spy on Catholics, particularly Latin Mass-attending Catholics, who, according to the document, have harbored “white supremacy.” The FBI document indicated intentions to have informants within the Catholic Church, on advice from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
In October 2020, a group of men allegedly attempted to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Several of the men were acquitted in their cases, as the FBI was found to have entrapped them in the scheme. Most of the members involved with the plot were FBI informants.
On August 8, 2022, the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, the home of former President Donald J. Trump, in search of classified documents. The documents in question were removed from the White House by the General Services Administration during the presidential transition and stored in a secure room at President Trump's residence as agreed upon with the FBI and the National Archives and Records Administration. Regardless of the classification of the documents, President Trump broke no laws as he was fully entitled to declassify any documents of his choosing under the Presidential Records Act.
Joe Biden, however, was storing documents in his garage and in remote facilities from his time as a United States Senator and as Vice President. No law entitled Joe Biden to be in personal possession of classified documents at any time. And one has to wonder, how was Joe Biden even able to remove such highly sensitive documents from a SCIF in the first place? Joe Biden broke the law, but he was never treated like a criminal and national security threat like innocent President Trump was. It's two-tiered justice.
Not only has Director Wray persecuted political opponents in an unprecedented and partisan way, but he has also overseen his agency take actions to shield and protect the current President and his family. A senior FBI official left the agency under a cloud of accusations that he shielded a laptop belonging to the President’s son, Robert Hunter Biden, from a criminal probe.
It is unacceptable for the Director of the FBI or any civil officer to exercise his power in a way that targets one political class while doing favors for the other.
Therefore, by the powers vested in Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene as a duly elected Member of the House of Representatives, she is officially introducing Articles of Impeachment against the corrupt FBI Director Christopher Wray. |
Matthew Graves, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia:
H. Res. 405 Cosponsors:
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)
- Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
- Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On May 16, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also introduced Articles of Impeachment against U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves.
Matthew Graves was appointed to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on July 26, 2021 and he assumed office on November 5, 2021.
During his time in office, U.S. Attorney Graves has totally subverted the justice system of the United States and facilitated the explosion of violent crime in Washington D.C. by refusing to prosecute violent crimes.
In fact, Graves has refused to prosecute 67% of arrests in the District of Columbia during his tenure. In response, D.C. Police Chief Robert Congee has said "We need to keep violent people in jail. When people talk about what we're gonna do different, or what we should do different, what we need to do different, that's the thing that we need to do different."
Graves has prosecuted hundreds of individuals who participated in a political protest and has sought lengthy pretrial detention, even for nonviolent defendants. His cruel and unusual tactics have driven innocent people, arrested on phony charges, to suicide, including Matthew Perna.
Graves is systematically criminalizing political dissent at the behest of his handlers in the White House. By focusing so much effort on the persecution of political prisoners, Graves has diminished the manpower needed to fight crime not just in DC, but all over the country. DOJ attorneys have been transferred to DC just to help Graves wage his war against political opponents.
His wife, Fatima Goss Graves, is the CEO of the National Women’s Legal Center. She is using her 100-million-dollar business to run a pressure campaign against Justice Clarence Thomas. Matthew Graves and his wife are clearly partisan hacks with no respect for the justice system or the rule of law.
With a total dereliction of duty as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves must be impeached. |
