(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went on CNN Monday night to express her fury at Republicans on the House intelligence committee who voted to release a classified memo dealing with the ongoing Russia investigation.

She accused Republicans of "dangerously and recklessly dealing with intelligence" to "cover up" the Russia investigation.

She said the four-page memo, written by Republicans on the House intelligence committee, is false, a "total misrepresentation," a threat to national security, and on top of that, a "distraction."


The Republican Party has, as I said, crossed over to cover-up. They're deadly afraid of the Russia investigation. We don't want the investigation to be anything but based on the law and the facts and let the investigation proceed. That's the right thing to do for our country. We have to be respectful of law. We have to be respectful of intelligence and the rest. And what they're doing is reckless in regard to both.

But the fact is also that it is a distraction from the fact that they passed a tax bill that gives 83 percent of the benefits to the top 1 percent. They'd like to distract from that. And 86 million middle-class Americans will pay more in taxes...They do give this gift to corporate America at the expense of our children's future. They don't want to talk about that. They don't want to talk about the fact that they have -- what they've done in terms of the president put forth a ridiculous memo on...on infrastructure which doesn't even go near what our country needs.

They are doing bad things in terms of immigration and the rest. What they do is they give you a nugget. They say, here's what we're doing on immigration. Isn't that wonderful? It looks so pretty, and while they do very unpretty things behind the scenes. Same thing with the tax bill. Isn't this a nice little thing we're giving you while we give-- And same thing again with intelligence. We're going to show you a memo. This is ridiculous. It's beyond ridiculous.


Pelosi also argued that Republicans voted to release the classified memo because "they can't keep government open."

"I want to tell you something. You're missing it. This is very big," Pelosi explained to CNN's Chris Cuomo. "This is very big in terms of -- in terms of what line they have crossed tonight. And it's shocking really but not surprising because they're desperate. And they're desperate because, look, they can't keep government open...Now they're trying to get their their fifth continuing resolution because they're incompetent and they're ineffective, and all they have to do is sit down and say, let's come to terms on how we're going to fund the government."

"And you're saying the Democrats are willing partners in that process?" Cuomo asked her.

"Absolutely. We have been willing partners," she said.

The liberalism is strong in this one.
She is just over-the-top, plain, bat-shite crazy.
That’s the zombie that’s produced when the mental disease of liberalism, mixed with overdoses of Botox, comes to full fruition.

I seriously do think she is suffering from some sort of brain ailment. In addition to her insanity.

Yea, among other things.

(from the article):" She (Nancy) accused Republicans of "dangerously and recklessly dealing with intelligence" to "cover up" the Russia investigation."

It's the pot calling the kettle 'black'.
She benefited financially from the tax cut, yet finds fault with the IG's memo regarding probable illegal actions of the previous administration, of which she is a party.
She and Chucky have been the cheerleaders of the "Russian Investigation", where there is no "there" being found, only more obfuscation of the facts and more 'untruths'.

I thought the RATs were always in favor of the public’s right-to-know. Who cares if classified stuff is involved? Isn't that what that new movie “The Post” is all about? Or is disclosure only on tap when a RAT will not be embarrassed (or indicted, if the DOJ would do its job)?

WOW JUST WOW, Nancy is even crazier than we suspected.

In Nancy Botoxly’s pampered b*tch little world, she truly believes that the tax cut is “the apocalypse”. Forget all the fantastic economic news coming out every day—for her, none of it exists. She’s clearly made a psychotic break from reality.

But keep talking Nancy!! We WANT you to be the very privileged white crackah face of the Rat party. Between you and the Vile Kankles, your party will continue to circle and circle the toilet bowl.

And-—it’s proof that belonging to the Demo party is bad for the mental health of ANY of its members, and that the party itself is a threat to the health of the nation itself!

> I’m sure “Dennis” Nunes told her this.

I think it was “Alan” Schiff. Lol...

“NANCY PELOSI IS SHOOK. Two highlight clips and the full video is at the bottom of the story. This interview is a national treasure as Pelosi rants about ‘Dennis Nunes.’ Nancy flips out on Chris Cuomo…”

Dennis Nunes is a Russian and the DNA is investigating him.

All this according to Nancy.

“And you’re saying the Democrats are willing partners in that process?” Cuomo asked her.

“Absolutely. We have been willing partners,” she said.

Just like the Palestinians, eh Nanzi?

Is Bat-Crap-Botoxi going to the SOTU tonight, or is she going to boycott with her pal, Mad Max?? Can’t wait to see the looks on the faces of the RAT-commies who do go. Must see TV!

“Her statement makes zero sense.”


The only sense from her statements is she has no idea of what she complains about. Really!

That doesn't even make sense. Republicans are touting the tax cuts, so why would they want to district from them?

If the memo is as bad as commentators are making it out to be, will heads roll? Pols and bureaucrats have a 'strong ethic' of protecting each other, as that protects them, too.
