Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters today,
“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day.”
But, she didn’t… Just because.
The Huffington Post reported, via The Corner:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is playing politics with its vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, an action she said that even she didn’t seek as House Speaker when she thought someone was legitimately deserving of it.
“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,” Pelosi said to laughter, during a sit-down with reporters. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol … If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.”
Rove was senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2007.
Asked on what grounds she could have arrested Rove, Pelosi replied, “Oh, any number. But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress. But we didn’t.”
What a goofy woman.

never give up do you, bg?
I’m sure you never felt that way toward James Carville back in your Clinton Loving days.
daryl commented:
Tell us how you felt (feel) toward Mary Matalin. Confused?
SeniorD commented:
She didn’t arrest Karl because of the subsequent (and massive) lawsuit that would follow. That’s why we don’t see many ‘Citizen Arrests’.
Oh, and Nancy dear? Better run off for some more ‘District Office Meetings’. Your skin is starting to look like any other 70+ year old.
Holder conspired to arm drug cartels commented:
Ah, ah, drugs are bad, mmmkay?
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Write that down, Mr Issa, and refer to it when the occasion arises.
TheresaAK commented:
Then you have no problem if the Republican Speaker were to arrest Holder..right Nancy?
LRod commented:
Yes, if only you weren’t so frail and elderly Nancy then maybe so.

Diane Harvey commented:
Didn’t know that Rove was an officer of the United States. (That term, Officer of the United States, is constitutionally recognized.)
Such officers are answerable to Congress. “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” US Const., art II, section 4.

That mind has gone to the back side of her waist.

I enlarged a picture of Pelosi and hung it on all 4 sides of my chicken coop to keep the coyotes, raccoons, and other varmints away…
Now I cannot find my chickens and my trees are almost dead……
