John Boehner to Nancy Pelosi: Apologize to the CIA or Offer Proof of a Crime

May 18, 2009

  House Minority Leader John Boehner has called Nancy Pelosi’s bluff and asked for the speaker to either apologize to the CIA for saying that the organization lied to her or to offer proof of the transgression.

Lying to Congress is a crime. Purposely misleading Congress is a crime. And if the speaker is accusing the intelligence community of lying to her or purposefully misleading her, then she ought to present that evidence, turn it over to the Justice Department, have them prosecute it 

  Lying to congress is a crime and if the CIA did in fact lie to Nancy Pelosi than it is time to bring them up on charges. But does Nancy Pelosi have any proof or was she the one who was in fact lying when she made the accusations?

  Nancy Pelosi has since tried to backtrack from the comments she made about the CIA but the fact is that she said that the CIA lied to her. She owes them an apology for starters. An apology does not go far enough in my opinion.

  If Nancy Pelosi made up the claim that the CIA lied to her in order to cover her own ass, and it seems likely that she did or she wouldn’t have backtracked from that statement, than a simple apology is just the beginning. Nancy Pelosi needs to resign.

    I read an article in Politico.com, and wrote a post on my own blog (won’t promote the link here) where there is a former congressman trying to placate both sides by saying BOTH sides are right. Check out Martin Frost’s post on Politico.

    Even in his apologist column, he unwittingly draws the conclusion that Pelosi was probably not paying attention, and therefore may not be lying. This falls right into Gingrich’s (sorry to use his partisan example) that Pelosi is either lying or inept. I’m betting both.

    I agree, Pelosi needs to $#!% or get off the pot. But I digress into my usual rant of “we’re the idiots who keep electing these idiots”. Politicians don’t truly understand the damage their words can cause.

    Screw the apology, their are no words that would ever make her qualified to be Speaker of the House, Obama will be tossing her under the bus with everyone else that has been a thorn in his side. This woman is a danger to our country. J.C.

      I vote for resignation myself, there is no excuse that would make just an apology a just sentence for her crime.

    You notice that Nancy’s face has not been seen in a couple days, now? I guess they’ll try to make it go away. Typical.

      SHe finally realized that she would be better off keeping her mouth closed. Either that or the Dems are telling her to lay low.

    Apology is not acceptable. She has done things that are undermining our troops in the field, I suggest we put her in the same hole with a live bore and see who is left standing. Pelosi being a pig would disqualify the Jihadist from getting his virgins. I will gladly participate with a squirt gun filled with pigs blood to shoot the Jihadist.
    I think the Jihidast would probably kill himself rather than be in a whole with Piglosi.

    I need to retract my previous statement. Shlep Smith covered the story just now. Of course painting the republicans as the “bad guys” for not letting it go. Typical.

    Yep I just reported last night that the Dems refuse to hold hearing on her. Or Feinsein who moved 35 billion in bail out funs to her husbands company that renovates forclosures and the flips them. J.C.

      Funny how they refuse to investigate these two issues isn’t it. And the media doesn’t put any pressure on them so they get away with it.
