    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was on a hell of a roll this morning.

    WATCH: Reporters Bust Out Laughing at Nancy Pelosi’s Answer to ‘Is Trump a Crook?’
    By Tommy ChristopherAug 13th, 2022, 1:05 pm
    265 comments



    Reporters cracked up laughing at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi‘s response to the question “Was this President [Donald Trump] a crook?”

    On Friday, Speaker Pelosi held a press conference, at which she took a raft of questions about the ever-deepening scandal around the FBI raid at Trump’s Mar-a-lago resort home, which Trump and many Republicans responded to by waging a campaign to baselessly smear the FBI, which appears to have been the motivation for an attack on an FBI headquarters in Cincinnati that was carried out by a supporter of Trump — 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer — who was angry about the raid on Mar-a-Lago.


    But there was a moment of levity toward the end, when Pelosi sidestepped one reporter who wanted to ask about the attack in favor of another reporter who’d been quicker on the draw.

    The reporter began by suggesting that Speaker Pelosi has been “reticent about characterizing” Trump — then asked her “Was this President a crook?”:


    Speaker Pelosi. Yes, sir?


    Q. Can I ask about the attack in Ohio against the FBI, Madam Speaker? It appears that –

    Speaker Pelosi. This gentleman was recognized. I’m sorry. Go ahead.

    Q. There was enough concern apparently for a search warrant to be granted at Trump’s residence. This is not by any stretch his first go‑around, his first brush with the law. He’s no longer in office, and you’ve been sort of reticent about characterizing – him.

    Speaker Pelosi. Me? I have been reticent? Who has been more than I? Okay.

    [Laughter]

    Q. Was this President a crook?

    Speaker Pelosi. Excuse me?

    Q. Was this President a crook?

    Speaker Pelosi. A crook? Why don’t we take your question?

    [Laughter]

    Q. Feel free to respond to my colleague.

    Speaker Pelosi has not, in fact, been reticent about slamming Trump, although she has repeatedly refused to say his name as a form of mockery.

    Which reminds Shooter;
    Nancy's son Paul managed to stow away on the aircraft that carried mommy off to the Orient for her critical travels there.
    Now the thing was, he was never listed on a manifest according to rumor, and was never "officially" acknowledged in any of the meetings he attended.
    So, inquiring minds want to know, why did he go?
    IT WAS A BUSINESS TRIP: Paul Pelosi, Jr.'s Asian Stock Climbs 30% THIS WEEK After He Tags Along with Mother Nancy Pelosi on Asian Trip (VIDEO) (thegatewaypundit.com)

    As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier in an explosive investigative piece — Paul Pelosi, Jr. traveled to Asia and attended meetings with his mother Speaker Nancy Pelosi during her recent trip this week to the region.

    Paul was an “unnamed guest.” The Pelosi crime family was trying to keep his participation on the downlow.

    Paul Pelosi was pictured with the US delegation on several stops in East Asia. As part of the US delegation, though, his name was never mentioned in the news during the trip

    TRENDING: SPERRY: FBI Agents Involved in Trump Raid are Under Criminal Investigation by Durham For Abusing Their Power in Trump-Russia Probe

    As we dig deeper into Paul Pelosi’ secret, or unannounced, tour to Asia wed found something quite interesting. Paul Pelosi Jr. appears to be another Hunter Biden, or even WORSE!

    As was previously reported, Paul got stuck in a series of scandals in the past couple years. The Gateway Pundit has documented his curious business dealings.

    It was reported that Paul Jr.’s business dealings with five companies were investigated by federal agents in Jan, 2022. Of course, nothing came out of the investigations. Paul is a Democrat like his powerful mother.

    During last week’s trip, Paul kept himself in the spotlight possibly to impress his Asian business partners. He was spotted at several official meetings with Pelosi in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan. But Paul Pelosi, Jr. suddenly disappeared in South Korea.

    Paul is currently the President of a battery recycling company called EVSX. Paul became President of the St-Georges’ subsidiary EVSX Corporation in Januay 2021. The company is dedicated to electric vehicle battery recycling and future partnerships in the development of lithium mineral resources.

    Paul Pelosi and EVSX was about to sign a cooperation deal with Wintech Co Ltd in South Korea in Feb, 2022. This was widely reported in the business pages.

    Here is the official announcement.

    The agreement was reportedly postponed when Paul was stuck in a crisis of credibility back home. By publicly showing up as part of the US Congressional Delegation, he added some street cred to impress his contacts in Asia.

    Here comes the whole picture. Paul took advantage of the “family trip” in Asia and leveraged the official photos with high-ranking national leaders to whitewash his notorious record back home.

    The Pelosi mob family were not concerned that her grifter son was pictured with her during her trip.

    And it appears that Paul tried to rebuild his savory character in business and continue the family business while traveling out in the open with his mother.

    And it worked!

    Now this…

    Paul Pelosi Jr., Nancy’s son, was an unnamed guest during her tour of Asia & Taiwan

    Paul Pelosi, Jr. is also on the board of Two Lithium Mining Companies, $SXOOF & $ATAO

    Asian Countries produce 75%+ of the world’s Lithium batteries.

    Paul Pelosi, Jr.’s Asian stock climbed 30% after his tour of Asia with his mother.

    Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker released this report on Tuesday.

    'He's not man enough': Nancy Pelosi taunts Trump over subpoena appearance

    Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump (AFP)


    During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took jabs at both Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), with the California Democrat baiting the former president by claiming he's '"not man enough" to appear before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

    Speaking with host Jonathan Capehart, Pelosi was asked about Greene's assertion that she will be given more power if House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) replaces her as speaker.

    As Pelosi explained her belief that Democrats will keep control of the chamber, she ignored Taylor Greene, only once referring to her as "What's-her-name."

    Asked about the chances that Donald Trump will appear before the committee after it issued a subpoena on Friday, she laughed at the prospect.

    "I don't think he is man enough to show up," she replied. "I don't think that his lawyers will want him to show up, because he has to testify under oath. But I don't think he is man enough. We will see if he is man enough to show up and the public can make their judgment."

    "No one is above the law!" she added. "If we believe that, then they should make a judgment about how he responds to that request."

    The Democrats have learned a lot since the last time the treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans were in power and I really like the sound of this. Last time the Democrats were always on the defensive or just ignoring all the lies and yelling and screaming. That was a mistake because it let the treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans control the narrative. But not this time.

    Revealed: Democrats' new 'war room' will investigate Republicans for abuse of power

    Matthew Chapman
    November 16, 2022

    On Wednesday, POLITICO reported that Democratic strategists are launching a "war room" to investigate House Republicans in the event that they abuse their oversight powers in an incoming Republican majority.

    "The newly relaunched Congressional Integrity Project initiative, details of which were shared first with POLITICO, will include rapid response teams, investigative researchers, pollsters and eventually a paid media campaign to put congressional Republicans 'squarely on the defense,' founder Kyle Herrig said in an interview," reported Heidi Przybyla and Jordain Carney. "It’s designed to serve as the party’s 'leading war room' to push back on House Republican investigations, Herrig said in an interview." Longtime Democratic strategist Brad Woodhouse will also be involved.

    According to the report, Herrig vowed the campaign will "investigate the investigators, expose their political motivations and the monied special interests supporting their work, and hold them accountable for ignoring the urgent priorities of all Americans in order to smear Joe Biden and do the political bidding of Trump and MAGA Republicans."

    This comes after top House Republicans, including Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), are vowing to launch a blizzard of investigations against both the Biden administration, including the Justice Department and FBI, as well as various figures who have become Republican scapegoats, like outgoing National Institutes of Health official Dr. Anthony Fauci.

    Similar investigative blitzes occurred during the Obama administration when House Republicans held endless hearings into the issues like failures in the "Operation Fast & Furious" gun-walking operation and the since-debunked allegations that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting conservative groups. Perhaps most famously, the GOP ran a massive campaign trying to blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya — something that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) publicly boasted was designed to hurt her presidential campaign rather than to serve any legitimate investigative purpose.

    "In addition to Herrig and Woodhouse, the project’s leadership team will include Leslie Dach, a well-known Democratic communications specialist who has led progressive organizations for decades, served in the Obama administration and advised the Biden administration’s pandemic response," said the report. "In a sign of the important role the initiative will play over the next two years — and its proximity to the White House — other senior advisers include Jeff Peck, a former Biden aide during the president’s time in the Senate who served as treasurer and vice chair of the Biden Foundation as well as a senior adviser to the Biden-Harris transition."

    I know exactly how he feels. After Bush and the conservative/Republicans let their rich buddies rip us off and collapsed the economy I knew the Democratic House Speaker wold have to bail them out again and couldn't wait to see who they put up. And then they said Nancy Pelosi I was like who the fuck is that? Little realizing I was looking at the best House 'Speaker that ever was.

    John Boehner Cries While Telling Nancy Pelosi How Much His Daughters ‘Admire’ Her During Portrait Unveiling
    By Kipp JonesDec 14th, 2022, 7:18 pm
    231 comments

    John Boehner choked up Wednesday as he told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi how much his daughters “admire” her during a special ceremony.

    A portrait of Pelosi was unveiled at the Capitol to honor her. Pelosi is the first woman to serve as House Speaker. She held the gavel from 2007 until 2011 when Boehner took it after the 2010 midterms. She took it back in 2019 during former President Donald Trump’s term in office and will no longer hold a Democratic leadership position after next month.


    Boehner, an establishment Republican with an affinity for tanning, tobacco, alcohol, and spontaneous crying was in Washington for the ceremony. He celebrated his one-time Democratic rival and was emotional as he spoke from the podium.

    “You’ve been unfailingly gracious to me, to my family and, frankly, my team here in Washington,” he said. “And Madam Speaker, I have to say, my girls told me, ‘Tell the Speaker how much we admire her.’”


    Boehner began to cry and was met with applause.

    “If you couldn’t tell, my girls are Democrats,” he joked.

    Boehner later added, “No other speaker of the House in the modern era, Republican or Democrat, has wielded the gavel with such authority or with such consistent results. Let me just say: you are one tough cookie.”

    He continued, “You and I have disagreed politically on many things over the years, but we were never disagreeable to each other. As you might have heard me say before, you can disagree without being disagreeable.”

    Boehner resigned from the House in 2015. Paul Ryan took over as speaker and held the gavel until Democrats took the majority in the 2018 midterms.

    'He's not on the level': Pelosi urges Trump family to stage an 'intervention' with the former president

    In an interview with CNN's Jamie Gangel, outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was asked about once calling Donald Trump "insane" -- and once stating "Trump knows he's crazy" -- and pressed to expand on those appraisals of the former president as she prepares to step down.

    Sitting down for a meal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in attendance, Pelosi at one time demurred when asked about Trump, quipping that she didn't want to talk about him while she was eating.

    However, she did have some advice for Trump's immediate family.

    After Schumer pointed out, "The American people have gotten wise to him. Took a little while, but they did," Pelosi weighed in.

    “I think there’s a need for an intervention by his family or something," she suggested.

    She then warned, "I don’t think he’s on the level now."

    Pelosi reemerges as top Trump adversary
    by Mychael Schnell - 08/10/23 6:00 AM ET

    Share

    Tweet





    Rep. Nancy Pelosi is off the bench as former President Trump’s top adversary on Capitol Hill.

    After stepping down as Speaker last year, Pelosi (D-Calif.) has flown largely under the radar in the Democratic caucus, allowing a crop of new leaders to take control of the group she steered for two decades.


    But the California Democrat — now with the title of “Speaker Emerita” — resumed her role of top Trump antagonist following his latest indictment, landing blows on the former president, praising the charges, and showcasing her unique ability to get under the skin of the man with whom she went toe-to-toe during the four years he occupied the White House.

    The bitter dynamics between the two leaders were on full display as Trump was indicted on charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rampage — a day for which Pelosi has said she would “never forgive” Trump.

    “I wasn’t in the courtroom, of course, but when I saw his coming out of his car and this or that, I saw a
    scared puppy,” Pelosi on Friday told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell of Trump arriving at his arraignment. “He looked very, very, very concerned about the fate.”

    “I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that,” she continued. “He knows the truth — that he lost the election and now he’s got to face the music.”


    [​IMG]
    Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) addresses reporters during a press conference on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 to introduce the Equality Act.

    Trump responded to the remarks on Tuesday, tearing into Pelosi — “She is a Wicked Witch” — while referencing last year’s violent attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi. An assailant looking for the then-Speaker entered the couple’s San Francisco residence and hit Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer, leaving him with serious injuries.


    Trump at the time called the attack “a terrible thing” without remarking further.

    “I purposely didn’t comment on Nancy Pelosi’s very weird story concerning her husband, but now I can because she said something about me, with glee, that was really quite vicious. ‘I saw a scared puppy,’ she said, as she watched me on television, like millions of others, that didn’t see that. I wasn’t ‘scared,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    “Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say! She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her. She is a sick & demented psycho who will someday live in HELL!” he added.



    The verbal tit-for-tat is nothing new for Trump and Pelosi, who engaged in name-calling while sparring across Pennsylvania Avenue during Trump’s presidency.

    Pelosi labeled Trump a “coward” and said he was “morbidly obese.” She once referred to him as an “impostor” who “knows full well he’s in that office way over his head,” and she famously tore up Trump’s State of the Union speech while standing behind the president on the dais.

    Trump, meanwhile, frequently referred to Pelosi as “crazy Nancy” and once called her “a nasty, vindictive, horrible person.”


    The acrimonious relationship between the two leaders hit a fever pitch with Trump’s second impeachment, which Pelosi, as Speaker, staged a vote on shortly after the Capitol riot and just days before the president was set to leave office — making Trump the only U.S. president to be impeached twice. The Senate acquitted him both times.



    Pelosi, whose office rioters broke into and whose name they chanted in the Capitol’s halls, also established the select committee that went on to probe the rampage and present its findings to the public through a series of high-profile hearings — a group that Trump criticized time and time again. She created the select committee after Senate Republicans blocked legislation to create an independent panel similar to the 9/11 Commission to probe the Capitol riot.

    That panel helped lay the groundwork for the Justice Department’s indictment, which bore several similarities to testimony the Jan. 6 committee received during its year-plus investigation. And the list of charges Trump now faces includes two crimes the committee recommended — conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.


    Before the select committee dissolved, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the ranking member, said the panel “made an enormous volume of material available to the Special Counsel.”

    Pelosi has maintained a relatively low profile since bowing out of leadership — she told reporters after announcing her plans to step down that she did not want to be “the mother-in-law in the kitchen saying ‘my son doesn’t like the stuffing that way.’”

    [​IMG]
    House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) greets Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) before a hearing to discuss the President’s FY 2024 budget for the Department of Homeland Security with Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.


    But the Speaker Emerita did several media interviews following Trump’s latest indictment, giving herself an opportunity to comment on the charges against her top political opponent which, in a way, were set in motion by the panel she established.

    “The indictments against the president are exquisite,” Pelosi told New York Magazine in an interview published this week, referring to the recent charges connected to Jan. 6 and the indictment against Trump pertaining to his handling of classified documents.

    “They’re beautiful and intricate, and they probably have a better chance of conviction than anything that I would come up with,” she added.


    And the California Democrat — who told New York Magazine, “I knew on Jan. 6 that he had committed a crime” — was not shy to point out the resemblance between the select committee’s work and the indictment against Trump.

    “I just want to commend the Jan. 6 Committee, the House committee, bipartisan committee, Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney and all the members of the committee and the staff for the work that they did,” Pelosi told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview last week. “They laid a foundation of facts, about facts and the law, and made a criminal referral to the Justice Department.”

    “It wasn’t our role to know what the Justice Department would do, if anything,” she later added. “So, when it became clear that there would be criminal charges made, it’s interesting to see how similar they are to some of the charges recommended by the Jan. 6 Committee.”


    Pelosi’s reemergence as Trump’s fiercest foe comes as the former president is mounting a comeback bid for the White House, during which he has continued to call the 2020 election “rigged” and “stolen.”

    She is airing warnings about another Trump term.

    “Don’t even think of that,” Pelosi told New York Magazine. “Don’t think of the world being on fire. It cannot happen, or we will not be the United States of America.”

    “If he were to be president,” she added, “it would be a criminal enterprise in the White House.”

    But as for Trump’s legal fate, Pelosi is waiting patiently for the legal process to play out.

    “Now it’s in the court of law,” Pelosi told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. “He’s innocent until proven guilty, he is not above the law, the facts and the law will determine the outcome.”

    ASSOCIATED PRESS













    WASHINGTON (AP) — Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced she will seek reelection to Congress in 2024 as Democrats try to win back the majority, saying “democracy is at stake.”

    Pelosi, 83, made the announcement before volunteers and labor allies in the San Francisco area district she has represented for more than 35 years.

    “Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,” Pelosi said in a tweet. “Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.”

    Republicans now control the House, but just narrowly, with a 222-212 majority and one vacancy. Democrats believe they have a chance to regain power as President

    runs for a second term.


    Pelosi's announcement quells any talk of retirement for the long-serving leader, who, with the honorific title of speaker emeritus, remains an influential lawmaker, pivotal party figure and strong fundraiser for Democrats.

    It also unfolds as Washington is grappling with the sunset of a political era as an older generation of leaders, including Biden, 80, face questions about their age. This past week, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, 81, said he would finish his term as leader and senator despite concerns about his recent health episodes.

    Pelosi has long charted her own course, from her arrival in Congress as one of few women elected to the House to her tenure as one of the most powerful women in U.S. politics.

    In her remarks, Pelosi said others had asked her to say longer, and she said she is also working to ensure a second term for Biden at the White House.

    "We have a challenge in our country. Our Democracy is at stake,” she said, according to excerpts released of her remarks.

    First elected to Congress in 1987, Pelosi made history by becoming the first female speaker in 2007, and in 2019 she regained the speaker’s gavel.

    Pelosi led the party through substantial legislative achievements, including passage of the Affordable Care Act, as well as turbulent times with two impeachments of Republican President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Her announcement comes as House Republicans are preparing to launch an impeachment inquiry into Biden over the business dealings of his son, Hunter.

    Pelosi stepped away from the day-to-day political limelight after a younger generation of Democrats led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took charge in 2023, but she remains a political force and keeps a robust schedule of public and private events.

    According to a person familiar with Pelosi's thinking about her 2024 decision, Pelosi believes democracy hangs in the balance in the upcoming election as she works to reelect Biden and make Jeffries the next House speaker.

    Pelosi is among the party’s most prolific fundraisers for the House and key political strategists. She has said she does not intend to hover over the new Democratic House leadership team, but she and Jeffries are often seen huddling quietly on the House floor.

    It's rare, but not unprecedented, for former party leaders to continue in Congress as members.

    Back in California, Pelosi's decision to seek another term is sure to disappoint other Democrats who have wanted a run for the congressional seat.

    But Pelosi has priorities she is trying to secure for her home state and especially San Francisco as the city works to recover from the coronavirus pandemic-era closures that have also dimmed other metro downtowns.

    San Francisco faces a delicate moment, Pelosi believes, and needs federal resources to continue its recovery, said the person familiar with her thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.

    One of the state's long-serving leaders, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 90, has announced she would not seek another term.

    Pelosi has long been portrayed as a political villain by Republican critics, who view her as a far-left liberal and raise vast sums of their own using her image and actions.

    Last year, her husband,

    , was seriously injured when an attacker broke into the family’s San Francisco home, seeking the Democratic leader at a highly divisive time in American politics. A trial is expected.
