Press Release
San Francisco – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after a federal grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump on charges related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election:
“The charges alleged in this indictment are very serious, and they must play out through the legal process, peacefully and without any outside interference. Like every criminal defendant, the former President is innocent until proven guilty. Our Founders made clear that, in the United States of America, no one is above the law – not even the former President of the United States.
“Through the meticulous and patriotic work of the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack, evidence was uncovered about the sinister plot to overturn the presidential election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power, which culminated in deadly insurrection. Now, following the Justice Department’s further investigation, a federal grand jury has indicted the former President.
“As this case proceeds through the courts, justice must be done according to the facts and the law.”
Nancy Pelosi had already gone down in the history as one of our great figures before this, the ACA her last, crowning achievement she expected to retire on (putting it in HRC's hands to protect from the Republicans and bring to completion). But...2016, and she instead remained in office, initially as minority leader of a desperately disempowered Democratic house caucus, to continue leading house Democrats through this national emergency.
83 now and still in the battle to save our democracy.
Fox News and the Christian right - we're coming for you! 
for this an many other reasons. 
during the greatest historical attack on our government and Democracy.
