Nancy Pelosi reacted to former President Donald J. Trump’s call for protests of his possibly looming arrest in her typical hysterical manner, accusing her hated enemy of fomenting unrest over what she described as a “reckless” appeal to his supporters.
The former House speaker led a parade of Democrat lawmakers seeking to put their dishonest spin on any possible dissent over Trump’s being hauled in by rabidly partisan Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on a trumped-up misdemeanor charge involving a “hush money” payoff to adult movie “actress” Stormy Daniels, a recurring character in the sordid psychodrama of the party’s ongoing persecution of a man who they have been unable to destroy despite years of trying.
In an overwrought Saturday missive from her Twitter account, the shrill octogenarian conjured the rapidly disintegrating official J6 narrative to portray Trump as once again, egging others on to protest the gross abuses of power by Democrats and doing so with violent intent.
“Whatever the Grand Jury decides, its consideration makes clear: no one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States,” Pelosi wrote. “The former president’s announcement this morning is reckless: doing so to keep himself in the news & to foment unrest among his supporters.”
He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence.
Rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold him accountable.

“He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence,” she added in a defense of what millions see as a rigged and weaponized system. “Rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold him accountable.”
Pelosi was referring to Trump’s reaction to the breaking news that he could be handcuffed and made to do the perp walk by the George Soros-backed Bragg, a smoking all caps rant against the radical left’s takeover of America and the “corrupt” DA, ending with the call to “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
She was joined in attacking Trump by her successor, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) who spent his political career swimming in the same crooked deep blue New York City cesspool as DA Bragg.
“We live in a democracy,” he wrote, invoking the term that has been bastardized by Democrats and used as a propagandistic cloak for their fascism. “Right-wing extremists who fan the flames of political violence with inflammatory rhetoric are not fit to serve. American values over autocracy.”

Former House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), who is seen as a serial liar by many, turned his fire on Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy who booted him from the powerful panel.
“Here we go again: Kevin McCarthy once again playing the part of criminal defense counsel to shield Trump from accountability,” Schiff ranted. “Heedless of the consequences to the country, he stirs the pot, and calls for an investigation of the investigators. It’s all part of Trump’s playbook.”

McCarthy was among Republicans who spoke out about the abuse of the legal system to pursue a political vendetta against Trump, vowing to investigate which didn’t sit well with another former House Intel member, Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA), an unhinged loudmouth who notoriously snuggled up with “Fang Fang” a suspected female espionage agent of the communist Chinese government, putting the satisfaction of his own libido above the nation’s security.
“The guy who created a committee to look into ‘weaponization of government’ is using his powers in government to stop an independent prosecution of his boss,” whined the profligate spender of other people’s money.

Representative Ted Lieu, another shoot from the lip California Democrat whose district includes the exclusive enclave of Beverly Hills also took aim at McCarthy.
“Dear @SpeakerMcCarthy: Do you even know what the charges are? Have you seen any of the grand jury evidence? No<” Lieu tweeted. “You are being a craven, partisan politician who doesn’t respect the rule of law. In America, no one is above the law, including the person to whom you bend your knee.”

The spectacle of a former United States president being publicly arrested and paraded in front of what promises to be the biggest media circus since the O.J. Simpson trial would be unprecedented and yet another damning example of how Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have turned a country that was once the envy of the free world into just another rotten banana republic.
