Speaker Nancy Pelosi's deputy in the House declined to back her up on her stunning claim Thursday that the CIA misled Congress about its use of enhanced interrogation techniques.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, the House majority leader, panned the recent criticism of Pelosi as a "distraction" during a verbal tangle with Republican Whip Eric Cantor on the House floor.
But when asked directly whether he shares Pelosi's belief that the CIA misled Congress, he backed off.
"I have no idea of that. I don't have a belief of that nature because I have no basis on which to base such a belief," Hoyer said. "And I certainly hope that's not the case. And I don't draw that conclusion."

Going to war with the CIA is never a good idea. They know which Congresscritter has been naughty and which has been nice...

It’s like a big, fat targeting laser is on Pelosi and everyone around her is silently backing away.
Squeak, squeak....rats leaving the ship.

Much as I enjoy watching Pelosi being dragged through the mud, this is distracting from Obama’s assault on individual liberty and the free market.

Keeping this administration from going all third world and engaging in politicized criminal prosecutions of the prior administration is ALL about preventing 0bama’s assault on individual liberty, the free market, and the principles that govern our republic.

Pelosi's days are numbered. There are only two roads from here: 1)Being forced by her party to step down, with whatever convenient cover story that entails, such as health, etc., 2)being taken down by the CIA, and if that happens, the Dems will have much bigger problems, because they will be in the midst of a storm they can not control.
They still have a small window of opportunity to get this thing under control, but not much.
I expect to see her resignation in the next few days, or next few weeks at most, otherwise, all hell is going to break loose, and they know it.
