Pelosi asks for donations to fend off potential GOP investigations
The Hill ^ | June 23, 2010 | Eric Zimmermann

Posted on 06/23/2010 11:14:26 AM PDT by jazusamo

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is asking supporters for contributions to help prevent the "subpoenas and investigations" that would result from a GOP majority.

In a fundraising letter for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Pelosi says if Republicans take back the House, they'll initiate "endless investigations against President Obama" and "bring back the days of Ken Starr and the politics of personal destruction."

"Remember a Republican-controlled Congress that devoted more time to subpoenas and investigations than to solving our country's problems?" Pelosi asks. "There is far too much at stake for our country now to allow it to happen again."

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, has shown himself willing and eager to be a thorn in the side of the Obama administration on everything from the BP oil spill to the Joe Sestak job offer. Few doubt that he would use a chairmanship to ramp up those efforts.

Funny thing, just yesterday for some unknown reason I received one of these dccc mailings.

I returned it with a great big FUBO written in big bold magic marker inside.

She had better be right. Subpoenas need to out number toilet tissues in Speaker’s restroom.

If they have done nothing wrong, then why do they need to "fend off" the investigations?

Well said...With them in the majority they can give lame explanations then ignore the issue, with them in the minority that isn't going to happen.

“the politics of personal destruction.”

Shame on Ken Starr for exposing that a Dem president had committed a felony by lying before a grand jury. Since Bill Clinton was our first black president, it’s pretty obvious that Ken Starr was nothing but a racist.

Suck it up buttercup. You will lose the speaker position, AND get to face investigation for your own corruption Nancy. Are you shaking in your heels yet dear?

She and the Rats will never admit the truth of that. I still like to see it written down. :)

The GOP is losing a number of incumbents as well... the people have had it with career politicians. With a cleaner slate, we might actually do something for America, like roll back all the stupid crap the Dems have illegally done under an illegal president.

Dems should sit down, shut up, and let us fix the freakin mess they have made since 2006.

Thanks.

I think the fact that she is asking for "donations", she is wanting to "buy off", not "fend off" the investigations.

The roaches are running for cover as the light of truth gets brighter and brighter.

This woman is a crackpot. And doesn’t she know that by her words here she’s basically admitted to the corruption? And the answer to everything for them is to throw money at it. Go figure. All the money in the world can’t fix what’s wrong with you and yours Nanc.

“There is far too much at stake for our country now to allow it to happen again.”

Perhaps they should have thought of that before they took part in criminal behavior.

Why is it that Democrats are all such lying gas bags?

They are the ones that hang around the courts and file suit if they do not get their way (with leftist judges that they put into the system) like children in a tantrum. They are the ones who, when given the majority, spend massive amounts of our money placing every Republican and conservative under investigation to keep their mouths shut and keep them in line.

The Republicans are too wussified to investigate and prosecute the REAL corruption and crimes of the Democrats.
