Hoyer wants Pelosi facts out By Jared Allen and Mike Soraghan Posted: 05/12/09 07:53 PM [ET]

The No. 2 Democrat in the House on Tuesday said Americans should be provided answers on what Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew about interrogations of suspected terrorists and when she knew about it.

But he also indicated that those answers might give the embattled Speaker political cover.

“I think the facts need to get out,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told reporters on Tuesday when asked about calls from both sides of the aisle for congressional investigations into the formulation of the so-called torture memos.

The Pelosi interrogation controversy has become a major distraction as the White House and congressional Democrats are seeking to move their top agenda items, most notably healthcare reform and climate change legislation. It is likely that Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be grilled about interrogations at her weekly press conference on Thursday.

Hoyer accused Republicans of creating a diversion by focusing on what information leading Democrats received about interrogation techniques. But he is now the highest-ranking Democrat to say that such information should be made public.

“I think the Republicans are simply trying to distract the American public with who knew what when,” Hoyer said. “The issue is not what was said or what was known; the focus ought to be on what was done.

“But I think, frankly,” the majority leader added, “the information about what was said and when it was said and who said it — I think that probably ought to be on the record, as well, so the American public knows that rather than what I think is somewhat of a distraction rather than a substantive debate.”

If the truth about the breifigs ever comes to light, it won’t just be Belagosie that will have ‘Splainin’ to do.

Release all memos now, since damage has already been done.

And I think the “O” should fire Emanualabor anyway, since he refused to listen to him in the fist place.

How dare Ron question the “O”.

“I think the facts need to get out,”

The facts are out. Hillary used this to slow down the momentum against Clinton. It is a well used tool by the democrats to change the subject when they are caught red handed.

We’re going to have to waterboard Nanzi Pelozi to get the truth out of her.

Is BOTOX® water soluble?

Ha, ha, ha! You cowards have been wanting to know who knew what, when for eight long years on every issue you could find. This has been your SOP. Now you admit it is a tactic of distraction, only when the table is turned. It is imperative that Pelosi is brought to justice on this issue. She degraded GWB and this country for years with this waterboarding crap, only to find out that it was perfectly fine with her.

There is no honor amongst thieves, sooner or later they will implode from there own greed and ego’s. Hopefully it will take place quickly so as to minimalize their damage to our great Republic.

Remember Steny got scr*wed out of speaker position by Pelosi’s coup I’m sure he hasn’t forgot what she did to him. This should be fun!

I agree with your assessment. He's pretending to walk with her, but in reality, he's walking her off the plank. Because he knows there's only two possible outcomes from bringing this to a head.

1. The CIA has nothing on her. Hoyer looks good by being a stand up guy.

2. The CIA has Nancy's number. She's toast, and he can be shocked, shocked, that waterboarding was going on in this establishment.

It's a win-win for Hoyer. Especially if he's deduced that if Nancy were innocent, she'd be tackling this problem much differently. I think he knows she's neck deep in papertrail.
