House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) says he has no "basis" to blame the C.I.A. for lying to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives about the type of interrogations they were using at the time, including waterboarding. "I don't draw that conclusion," Rep. Hoyer said on the House floor.

Is Rep Hoyer a likely replacement for Pelosi?
Seems to me he is.

Old Steny might have read some internal polls.

Was Rep Hoyer briefed at the same meeting as Nancy by the CIA? In fact, was there ANYBODY briefed at the same meeting as Nancy was and stepped forward?

He’s next in line and maybe he doesn’t want to piss off the CIA?

Speaker Hoyer must be giving his new gavel a test drive.
Wonder if Nancy looks like a nail in this man’s tool chest?

Steny just published a book, “Conundrums, and what to do with them”.

Pelosi has a lot in common with our resident moron, Monica Conyers (Detroit City Council and wife of John Conyers). This latest idiotic and contemptible statement is only eclipsed by her previous statements in San Francisco where she referred to Illegals as “Patriots” who deserved to break the law to feed their families.
IMO, now that it is acceptable to question these kinds of irrational statements out loud her time as Speaker is drawing near.
