Nancy Pelosi says 'no one' is above the law after Mar-a-Lago raid and insists FBI WOULD have had justification to conduct the operation

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday that 'no one is above the law' and noted the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home would have had some legal justification.

Pelosi, who repeatedly sparred with Trump when she was speaker and he was president, said she had no special knowledge of the Monday raid.

'All I know about that is what is in the public domain. I was surprised that it flashed on my phone last evening,' the speaker said on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Old meme “They aren’t really against me, they’re against you. I’m only standing in their way.” is more relevant than ever.
Our “friends” the RINOs look so much like our enemies. Just a D and an R to be exchanged with the lobbyists’ cash envelopes or codes for offshore accounts.


In the surrealistic movie Masked and Anonymous by Bob Dylan and screenwriters, the introduction included:
What did Martin Luther King
get out of the whole thing?

A boulevard?

It’s the dark princes,

The democrats and republicans,

Working for a barbarian

That can scarcely spell
his own name.

Hey, the only thing
more pleasant than seeing you

Would be seeing
the grim reaper himself.

You gentlemen are about to make
a hideous choice.

Except every single democrat on the plantation, except the few who they have thrown under the bus as a sacrificial offering for crossing the wrong people.

Statements like this are about rubbing our noses in it. Everyone knows that THEY are indeed above the law. Political outsiders and anyone who is not THEM is subject to every stupid law they deign to pass.

This is what a corrupt system behaves like.

'no one is above the law'

Does this old, corrupt twit really expect to have any credibility when she makes that statement?

I can think of several people who are above the law - Nancy (insider trading), Nancy's husband, the Clintons, Hunter, Brandon, Barry the Luo, Barry's attorney general, all the corrupt scum who pushed the Russia collusion investigation, story and impeachment. The list goes on.

Interesting article I read......

Shortly after global sanctions were imposed in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Biden announced the U.S. will “identify, hunt down, and freeze the assets” of Russian oligarchs—“yachts,” “mansions,” and “any other ill-gotten gains.”

Immediately, reports of seized yachts and villas and frozen bank accounts in Europe started pouring in. The world rejoiced at the possibility that oligarchs will “feel the squeeze,” or better yet, put pressure on the Kremlin to stop the war or pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction. But first things first: getting the assets.

To take ownership of such property, one tool the government uses is forfeiture. There are three types of forfeiture: criminal, civil, and administrative. Criminal forfeiture depends on a conviction, which would require an oligarch’s presence in the U.S., something that is unlikely. Administrative forfeiture is not for real property or assets valued higher than $500,000 (yachts can cost tens or hundreds of millions). This leaves civil forfeiture—a potentially complex and lengthy process.

Forfeiture 101
Civil forfeiture is a judicial process against the assets, not their owners. The government would need to (1) establish a crime and (2) trace the property to it. While the decision to seize oligarchs’ assets came in the context of the war in Ukraine, the crime need not and likely will not be related to it. Assets anywhere in the world could be forfeited if they were involved in money laundering, for example.

Moreover, real estate can be forfeited even if it was not purchased with tainted funds. Improvements and loan payments with laundered funds are enough to establish the required link.

Glad you feel that way Nancy since in a few month republicans will have access to what really happened on J6 and a few looks at your personal finances won’t be a problem for you

She has not a shred of principle or decency.

What about Hillary? And Joe Biden? And that Democrat (I forgot his name) caught red-handed stuffing documents into his pants, and George W. Bush happily gave him a pass.

The regime is weaponizing the FBI against political opponents like Biden’s old boss did with the the IRS, the FBI, the intelligence community, etc. And all the #Democrats support it. Every. Single. One.
