Pelosi The Liar Marshalling Democrat Forces For War With The CIA
Pelosi lied about her knowledge of waterboarding. We know it. She knows it. Everyone capable of setting aside ideology and partisan politics in favor of a bit of objective observation knows it. But not only is Pelosi still not willing to admit it, she just can’t let it go. Now she’s launching a war against the CIA in a vain attempt to cover up her lies.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she expects Democrats who have accused senior CIA officials of repeatedly misleading Congress to further pursue the allegations.
“I’ve seen the letters from the members and obviously they have concern,” Pelosi said about the letters written by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee and revealed Wednesday.
In the letters, Democrats said that CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress last month that senior CIA officials have concealed significant actions and misled lawmakers repeatedly since 2001.
“The Intelligence Committee has the oversight responsibility for intelligence in the House and its equivalent committee in the Senate,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference. “I’m sure they will be pursuing this in their regular committee process and that’s the way it will go.”
But Republicans say the allegations are just political maneuvering to protect Pelosi, who has been under constant fire since alleging that the CIA lied to her about enhanced interrogation techniques.
I wonder how many taxpayer dollars it’s going to cost us for Pelosi’s attempts at covering up her lies by muddying the waters with attacks on the CIA. Plenty, I’m sure.
But why should she care? It’s just other people’s money.
