The Pelosi Factor Trump’s longtime antagonist played an essential role in his historic indictment.

If you were going to draw up a list of the people most responsible for the latest indictment of Donald Trump, the former president himself would be at the top, followed by the prosecutors who have brought the case. Republicans in Congress perversely deserve a great deal of credit, too, since they could have exiled Trump from political life and perhaps spared him more intense legal scrutiny if they had voted to convict him in the impeachment trial over his role in the siege of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Ultimately, however, you cannot tell the story of Trump’s historic indictment without Nancy Pelosi. It was the then-Speaker of the House who insisted that there be a congressional inquiry following January 6. And it was the work of the select committee she fashioned that finally appears to have spurred a reluctant Justice Department to action, setting in motion a more intense phase of criminal scrutiny focused on Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The resulting indictment closely tracks the select committee’s work and findings, presenting a factual narrative that traces — almost identically — the evidence presented by the committee of a sophisticated, multipronged effort by Trump to remain in power that culminated in the mayhem at the U.S. Capitol.

“LIAR.”

Well, she didn’t lie about this part “Too much was at stake.”

The ‘too much’ would be Pelosi and her cabal of Marxist traitors being sentenced to Gitmo for the rest of their miserable lives for high treason and also obstruction of justice.

That's even better than hanging. My new motivation.

I know lots of people that would pay good money for a pic of Pelosi scarfing down Gitmo cuisine gruel and prison slop in place of her artisanal ice cream. I’m one of them.
