She had better hope that more detailed briefing notes never get made public. Pelosi just dared the CIA to leak again, and I don\u2019t think they\u2019re likely to get intimidated by her at this point. Pelosi has a lot more to lose in this game than does Langley, especially the careerists most at risk in a witch hunt. Pelosi had better hope that the CIA has lost all the detailed briefing notes, because if they haven\u2019t, they\u2019ll be hitting a newstand within a few days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s actually worse than that. Given there\u2019s a Democrat in the White House, one would expect the power of 1600 Pennsylvania to give her considerable cover. One would be wrong.<\/p>\n
Well, here\u2019s the rundown: Bella Pelosi backed Murtha over Hoyer. Hoyer is a good friend of Rahm \u201cdead fish\u201d Emmanuel, so he has ties to the top of the food chain. Hoyer wants to go ahead with the hearings, since Bella\u2019s name is all over the attendance list provided by the CIA. That way, she will be toast and he can move into the Speaker\u2019s job. She picked the wrong group to piss off, because they will shine the light on anyone that threatens them and with Emmanuel serving up the dirty tricks for Hoyer, it\u2019s a 1-2 punch she won\u2019t get up from.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That makes for a pretty grim situation for Pelosi. She could easily discover some real Chicago Style politics any day now.<\/p>\n
But it is actually worse than that. There is one person who could give her immediate cover or nail her to the cross in a 5 minute presser.<\/p>\n
Enter Representative Jane Harmon(D-Ca.).<\/p>\n
She was on the Intel Committee at the time and one would assume actually went to the meetings. Harmon could come to Pelosi\u2019s rescue and at least give her a little breathing room. Or, Harmon could come out and say (as former Rep. and CIA Director Porter Goss has already) Pelosi is a screaming liar, we were all briefed.<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, and Jane Harmon hates Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
