One condemning piece of footage for the Democrats’ impeachment case shown by former President Donald Trump’s defense team on Friday contained House Speaker Nancy Pelosi raising concerns about the integrity of the vote following the 2004 presidential race.
Her comments during the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, 2005, focused on irregularities seen with the voting machines and ballots — i.e. the kinds of issues Trump raised in the aftermath of November’s election.
Trump’s legal counsel David Schoen presented the Pelosi clip to senators sitting in trial to debunk the House impeachment managers’ argument that Trump incited the incursion into the Capitol by questioning the outcome in some key swing states.
“When the House managers realized that the president’s actual words could not have incited the riot, as you alleged in your article of impeachment, you attempted to pivot,” Schoen said.
“You said that raising the issue of election security and casting doubt on the propriety of our elections was dangerous,” he added.
To give Pelosi’s words in 2005 more context, let’s recall the circumstances of the 2004 presidential race between then-President George W. Bush and then-Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
Bush won by a narrow 286 to 251 Electoral College vote, and the results in Ohio, with its 20 electoral votes, played a decisive role.
Bush carried the state by over 118,000 votes.
“The normally perfunctory ceremony of counting and certifying Electoral College votes was delayed for about four hours as Democrats unsuccessfully challenged Ohio’s votes for Bush,” CNN reported at the time.
“There are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections and of ensuring the principle of one person, one vote,” Pelosi said in the clip presented by Schoen.

Pelosi mimicking Hillary: “What difference does it make, that was so long ago...”
Listening to the ‘RATs yesterday made me want to hurl. Even caught in their hypocrisy and double standards, they were stupid enough to stand up and say “but we didn’t say it in front of violent mobs”. Oh yeah? Was it a Trump supporter who shot a man in the back in Portland, killing him? Was it Trump supporters who burned and looted cities all over the country all summer? Was it Trump supporters who killed David Dorn in cold blood?
And wasn’t it a member of antifa who was claimed the ringleader on Jan 6th by no less than CNN themselves?
The biggest mistake these leftist traitor ‘RATs have made is to think we are as stupid gullible and obtuse as they are.
So Nazi Pelosi reversed her stance on election fraud. Coming from the queen of fraud...no surprise.
But, but, ... she has “evolved.”
Rd later.
