Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was ridiculed on Twitter Thursday over her reaction to the indictment of former President Donald Trump — as she appeared to butcher a key principle of criminal law.
“The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law,” Pelosi (D-Calif.), 83, wrote in her post.
“No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence,” she added. “Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”

Democrats claim the constitution is a living document, therefore, the constitution is in the process of transitioning into a communist manifesto. Written in rainbow colored ink, of course.
There is a second flaw in her statement the second flaw: that our system of government _grants_ him the right. We the People are endowed with inalienable rights. We the People granted powers _to the government_ to obseve, respect, and protect them.
Proving your innocence is what most libs think Trump needs to do
True. She did say the quiet part (of how our government believes and too often operates) out loud.
Well said bump!
