RESOLUTION

Resolved, That Nicol J Bolas, Administrator of Dinkleberg’s TTT, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Dinkleberg’s Senate: 

Articles of impeachment exhibited by the Senate of the Dinkleberg’s Garry’s Mod in the name of itself and of the people of the Dinkleberg’s Garry's Mod, against Nicol J Bolas, Administrator of Dinkleberg’s TTT. in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER

The Constitution provides that the Dinkleberg Senate "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" and that the Administrator"shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". In his conduct of the office of Dinkleberg’s TTT Administrator—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of  Dinkleberg’s TTT Administrator and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the Dinkleberg’s Garry's Mod, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Nicol J Bolas has abused the powers of the Adminship, in that:

Using the powers of his high office, Nicol solicited the interference of a foreign community, Moat.gg, in the 2020 Toxicity Wars. He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the Government of Moat.gg to publicly announce investigations that would benefit the Admins, harm the members of the community, and influence the 2020 resignations to his advantage. Nicol also sought to pressure the Government of Moat.gg to take these steps by conditioning official Dinkleberg’s Garry's Mod acts of significant value to Moat.gg on its public announcement of the investigations. Nicol engaged in this scheme or course of conduct for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal political benefit. In so doing, Nicol used the powers of the Adminship in a manner that compromised the national security of the Dinkleberg’s and undermined the integrity of the Dinkleberg’s democratic process. He thus ignored and injured the interests of the Community.

Nicol engaged in this scheme or course of conduct through the following means:

1. Nicol—acting both directly and through his agents Within and Outside the Dinkleberg’s corruptly solicited the Government of Moat.gg to publicly announce investigations into—
   (A) a political opponent, Nopleez,; and
   (B) a discredited theory promoted by Lobster’s TTT alleging that Moat.gg—rather than Lobster’s TTT in the 2020 resignations.
   
   
2. With the same corrupt motives, Nicol—acting both directly and through his agents within and outside the Dinkleberg’s Government—conditioned two official acts on the public announcements that he had requested—
   (A) the release of $391 million of Dinkleberg’s  taxpayer funds that Congress had appropriated on a bipartisan basis for the purpose of providing vital server stability and security assistance to Dinleberg’s Deathrun to oppose Lobster’s TTT aggression and which Nicol had ordered suspended; and
   (B) a head of state meeting at the Staff Discord, which the Owner of Moat.gg sought to demonstrate continued Dinkleberg’s support for the Government of Moat.gg in the face of Lobster’s TTT aggression.
   
   
3. Faced with the public revelation of his actions, Nicol  ultimately released the server stability and security assistance to Dinkleberg’s Deathrun, but has persisted in
   openly and corruptly urging and soliciting Moat.ggto undertake investigations for his personal political benefit.
   
   

These actions were consistent with Nicol's previous invitations of foreign interference in Dinkleberg’s staff resignations.

In all of this, Nicol abused the powers of the Adminship by ignoring and injuring national security and other vital national interests to obtain an improper personal political benefit. He has also betrayed the Community by abusing his high office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting staff resignations.

Wherefore Nicol, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to community security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Nicol thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, trust, or profit under Dinkleberg’s Garry's Mod.

ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF SENATE

The Constitution provides that the Dinkleberg’s Senate "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" and that the Administrator "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". In his conduct of the office of Dinkleberg’s TTT Administrator and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of Dinkleberg’s TTT Administrator and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the Dinkleberg’s, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Nicol J Bolas has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its "sole Power of Impeachment". Nicol has abused the powers of the Adminship in a manner offensive to, and subversive of, the Constitution, in that:

The Senate has engaged in an impeachment inquiry focused on Nicol's corrupt solicitation of the Government of Moat.gg to interfere in the 2020 Staff Resignations. As part of this impeachment inquiry, the Committees undertaking the investigation served subpoenas seeking documents and testimony deemed vital to the inquiry from various Staff agencies and offices, and current and former officials.

In response, without lawful cause or excuse, Nicol directed Staff agencies, offices, and officials not to comply with those subpoenas. Nicol thus interposed the powers of the Adminship against the lawful subpoenas of the Senate, and assumed to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the "sole Power of Impeachment" vested by the Constitution in the Senate.

Nicol abused the powers of his high office through the following means:

1. Directing the Staff to defy a lawful subpoena by withholding the production of documents sought therein by the Committees.
   
2. Directing other Staff agencies and offices to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of documents and records from the Committees—in response to which the Department of Moderators, Office of Prophunt, Department of T Mod, and Department of Web Admin refused to produce a single document or record.
   
3. Directing current and former Staff officials not to cooperate with the Committees—in response to which nine Administration officials defied subpoenas for testimony, namely Ethan, Battons, Jack, Jammins, Quaxi Girl, Raider Hanks, Scoovie, Noire, and Cake.
   

These actions were consistent with Nicol's previous efforts to undermine Dinkleberg’s Garry’s Mod Government investigations into foreign interference in staff resignations.

Through these actions, Nicol sought to arrogate to himself the right to determine the propriety, scope, and nature of an impeachment inquiry into his own conduct, as well as the unilateral prerogative to deny any and all information to the Senate in the exercise of its "sole Power of Impeachment". In the history of the Republic, no Admin has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the Senate to investigate "high Crimes and Misdemeanors". This abuse of office served to cover up the Admint's own repeated misconduct and to seize and control the power of impeachment—and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the Senate.

In all of this, Nicol has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as Admin 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 Dinkleberg’s Garry’s Mod.

Wherefore, Nicol, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Nicol thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under Dinkleberg’s Garry’s Mod.
