While Tierney refused to answer questions at the event, FOX 25's Sharman Sacchetti asked Pelosi about why she chose not to wait until the completion of the probe to appear alongside the Congressman.

"Our timing is about the timing that works for the American people," Pelosi replied. "To create good paying jobs for them and not to worry about what's happening in Washington D.C., but to meet the needs of what is happening to people out here.

Tierney has been under fire since his wife pleaded guilty in 2010 to helping file false tax returns for her brother, who ran an illegal off-shore gambling ring.

"Well, we have cleaned up Washington. We did. And now it has lapsed, but that's not the point," Pelosi said. "I want to go to your question. I'm here to stand with John Tierney and thank him for what he has done for our women's economic agenda."

Is this idiot still in charge of something?

"To create good paying jobs for them

One would think this is the only cliche this woman knows - over and over this is all I hear from them. The GOVT does not creat jobs.

Can you say, “TERM LIMITS”?

Tierney's wife got a slap on the wrist for laundering something like $7M of her brother's [indicted, but hiding in the Carribean] money.

The good congresscritter swore he knew nothing about it, including a helicopter his wife had parked in the driveway...

... and in order to find out about it (the money-laundering), I have to come to FR. MSM: crickets.

This is a huge story. I can’t believe it’s not major national news.
