There's a bombshell video that has just been released by House GOP investigators about what former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said as she was leaving the Capitol after the rioting on Jan. 6, 2021.
In it, Pelosi takes responsibility for the failure to have adequate security in the place at the Capitol to deal with the riot.
“We have responsibility, Terri," Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. "We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.”
Pelosi also said: “You’re going to ask me – in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff – ‘should we call the Capitol Police, I mean the National Guard?’ Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”
McCullough, replied as the speaker’s SUV raced through an underground parking garage: “They thought that they had sufficient ... resources."
Pelosi responded, clearly frustrated: "No, that’s not a question of how they had ... they don’t know. They clearly didn’t know. And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”
McCullough appeared to be referring to the Capitol Police when she said that "they" thought they had sufficient resources.
The video was taken by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra as part of her HBO documentary. The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee requested the video from HBO as part of their investigation. The material they obtained has never been released before.

So what about the J6 political prisoners being illegally held in jail? What about the several who committed suicide because they couldn’t take the corrupt judgements thrown on them? Who will ever be held accountable for this travesty???
We were watching it really time and nanzi vanished about 3 minutes before the breach. No one else seemed concerned so I think she got the call to depart.
There is a military tactic where you allow the center of your line to bend, to appear to collapse. The enemy rushes in, thinking they can rout you and end the battle.
But you maintain your flanks and retreat to a second line of defenses. Then your flanks encircle the rear of the enemy and they are attacked from all sides. In the end, it becomes a devastating loss for your enemy.
Most leaders will recognize when this is happening and they will be sure to not rush in, and attack the flanks to prevent the encirclement. Arrogant leaders (Sun Tzu’s term, not mine) will rush in to their demise.
This is what Pelosi did. And no one seemed to recognize it.
Old news, as is the total and complete lack of accountability. The GOP should have revamped the J6 oversight committee and done a real investigation.
That’s the way politicians (but particularly liberals) roll. When the stuff hits the fan, then and only then, will they come forward and taken responsibility but only in a way that cannot lead to any real consequences or true accountability. “I take full responsibility” is a hollow statement.
