Nancy Pelosi has some unfinished business with Donald Trump.
The volatile former president and Pelosi foe is long gone from the White House but still haunts Capitol Hill. And as much as some in her party might want to move on from Trump, the speaker has made overseeing an investigation of the deadliest attack on the Capitol in two centuries into a core mission this year — putting her squarely in the path of the former president who Democrats say played a central role in the insurrection.
Her GOP opponents are warning that Pelosi’s close involvement in the select committee on Jan. 6 exposes its efforts to politicization and failure. But the California Democrat and her allies insist it’s the best way to prevent a repeat of the deadly day when thousands of rioters stormed the Capitol bent on overturning a democratic election and threatened to kill members of Congress.
“They wanted to kill her. They were hunting her,” Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) said. “I don’t think this is a political calculation at all. You’re talking about the greatest assault on our democracy in over 100 years.”
Pelosi huddled with the panel’s seven Democrats and sole GOP member, Rep. Liz Cheney, in her office on Thursday afternoon. A devout Catholic, she led the group in prayer before stressing the “solemnity” of their work ahead.
“The facts will take us where we go, not anything else,” Pelosi told the group, according to a source in the room.
Members of Pelosi’s inner circle insist that she doesn’t consider the select panel as legacy-defining work during what could be her final turn with the gavel. Instead, her confidants say, Pelosi feels like she was left with no choice after GOP leaders mobilized to block an independent probe...

“A devout Catholic”
ROTFLMAO
Americans can’t coexist with these Marxist thugs.
deadliest attack in two centuries?
this is written by Romney and his Rona.
Oh, man - that's rich.
I think you're right, though - Repubs should rebrand all of this as the Ashli Babbit hearings.
An attempt to try and force a charge on Donald J. Trump so as to disallow his future running for office? What other motive is there?
If it were a real insurrection then Pelosi and all her coup plotters would already have long been dead.
The January 6th “event” was a coordinated attack by the evil corrupt Obama FBI (along with willing support by ANTIFA provocateur), to scapegoat the MAGA movement and give legitimacy to the coup plotters.
Lizard Cheney knows about this, so does the entire deep state and establishment media.
The election was stolen. Nothing in creation will change that fact. Donald Trump is the true elected POTUS.
Might as well be zen bhuddist in her case.
Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) said. “...You’re talking about the greatest assault on our democracy in over 100 years.”
No, Karen, we’re talking about the greatest assault on our republic ever — the Democrats’ and progressives’ assault on our laws, our watchdog press, our voting security, our children’s schooling and our churches.
Karen is a drama queen projecting yugely, as proggies typically do.
Karen is an adult child with power, and an enemy within.
the Idiocracy of this statment leads one to believe this person not only has lost her marbles but shes stealing other peoples marbles to loose too. . Were they going to kill nancy with Trump 2020 hats and flags?
““The facts will take us where we go, not anything else,” Pelosi told”
And then:
“thousands of rioters stormed the Capitol bent on overturning a democratic election and threatened to kill members of Congress.”
Not only Zoe is demented, the whole lot of them are.
Hyperbole much, Rep. Bass?
Now if she had been talking about the assault on the WH with howling BLM and Antifa, fires being set, people screaming for Trump’s blood, etc. she might have something…but I guess that was different.
Too bad the protestors weren’t armed.
See my tag line.

This piece is pure groupthink propaganda.
Every narrative and word is crafted to establish misinformation as fact.
On the bright side, pecker puss Pelosi has a pattern of only holding the house majority for two years and then being replaced by Republicans. Pelosi’s Jan 6th Soviet show trial will anger and motivate Trump supporters for 2022. The Dem majority is very small. Winning six to ten Dem seats in swing districts hands the majority back to the Republicans.
“..she led the group in prayer...”
Well that goes against everything modern democrats stand for.
“Ashli should be mentioned”
By the time these “hearings” are over she will have been leading the charge with explosives and firing automatic weapons under each arm.
How many insurrectionists were arrested on weapons charges? Without weapons, I don’t think it counts.
