Cuomo asked Pelosi some relevant questions for a change. Her reaction is ‘priceless’.
Nancy sure doesn’t do well under pressure IMO. I don’t think she’s that great a speaker in the first place And to see her stammering and repeating herself, like in the video here, shows how obvious it is when she’s trying to weasel around something that she’s been asked or some statement that she’s made. She’s not a quick thinker. Her only line of defense is to keep “catapulting the propaganda”** over and over. And she did that today.
She plain flat out said the Repubbies are liars. And basically traitors in regard to The Memo! THINK OF THE POOR INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FOR GOODNESS SAKE.!! WHO WILL EVER TRUST THE US AGAIN???? WE’RE DOOMED!!!
Cuomo asked how she was going to counter The Memo! and that’s when she really starts to stammer and that crazy look takes over her face. Her composure starts to slip (along with a few gears in her mentall tranny) and she goes into Replay yet again, saying the same thing over and over, roping in the gullible and providing some really big disappointment for those who remember the Democratic Party pre-Clinton. And by that I that mean pre-BOTH Clintons.
What’s in that memo? How bad can it be? And what’s up with all this nonsense about “we don’t need to know”? Isn’t this still our country? Is not the electoral process supposed to be how they get their jobs? When did being elected to represent become elected to rule? And if our electoral process has been corrupted by these people, we have a right and a duty to know about it.
Pelosi: Nunes memo is 'a total misrepresentation'
Monday that House Republicans moved to release a memo alleging FBI abuse of surveillance powers, accusing House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes of misleading the public.
"What they're putting forth is a total misrepresentation. It is false," Pelosi told CNN's Chris Cuomo.
The California Democrat said she had reviewed the Nunes memo and its basis as well as the intelligence underlying the memo, and she accused Republicans of crafting a misleading document and misusing sensitive information available to them in order to undercut the ongoing special counsel investigation into potential coordination between associates of President Donald Trump and Russia.

She didn't do herself any favors with this one,
that's for sure. She comes across as evasive, almost desperate to change the subject, to bring up other, unrelated, issues.
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.

No kidding! Amanda must be sleeping with her magical catcher's mitt on to keep nailing these!
One thing I wondered about:
Did I miss something? When Pelosi said that other countries would never trust the US (PTB) again, (as though they could now) if this memo was released, was she saying that a foreign nation gave information to the Dems on Dem/FBI spying on a newly elected US President and/or his high-ranking appointees, or that a foreign nation was doing the spying for/sharing the results of such spying with the Dems?
If so, was any of this spying on a brand-new US President to do with Israel/Bibi, promised the sun, moon, stars, the Earth and a good chunk of American's public money in the form of EXTRA military equipment beyond what they'd already been getting annually from unwitting US citizens, along with the offered sacrifice of America's (presumably non-corporate/billionaire) interests if required for good old, homicidal Likud/Bibi's agenda by Hillary, at a Brookings speech captured by The Intercept?
Or perhaps with the Dem-introduced Assad brothers Pakistani spy ring access to Congressional (and potentially other?) systems - or related to Hillary's use of that private and insecure server for official public business as Dem Secretary of State and/or Her rather mysterious apparent continuing access to sensitive information long after leaving public office, going by some comments she made, as far as I can recall, on the
campaignBig Donor trail or damn close to that officially 'starting'. (Not that Her ever stopped campaigning/Big Donoring...)As Pelosi was saying, anyone willing to lie and risk national security can convince the public of anything. At least, that's what she apparently believes still holds for the Dems. A lot of people entertain strong doubts about anything coming from either wing of the Two-Faced Corporate Party, unless it actually seemingly fits in with whatever's been going on and has been independently verified, or at least sounds plausible, if necessarily caked in salt, as (even beyond the 'tells' which Amanda pointed to,) Pelosi telling the truth (except, perhaps by accident, now and then) does not. Whereas even Liar In Cheat Trump might tell the truth - or shades of it - about the Dems, if it hurt their upcoming electoral chances. (He doubtless has more of his own Swamp Creatures to install, if CorpoCrats are not driven out by undeniable Prog landslides.)
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Our biggest problem to overcome is
sifting the lies from the truth. And that goes for everything and everyone. Both sides are telling whoppers but only one side is trying to cover up rigging a primary and trying to destroy the administration of a duly elected president.
And that’s why The Memo! has to be released. Let’s get it over with. Let us see it ALL so we have a way to judge exactly how screwed we really are.

@Amanda Matthews
Nailed it again!
And you'd think that they'd realize by now that apparently only applying those 'Top Secret national security concerns' excuses to the American people forming the country which their public offices exist to serve the welfare of reveals exactly how dirty they are... no wonder they hate Wikileaks and patriot leakers. The American people are supposed to be uninformed, useful idiots to ceaselessly drain for murderously greedy objectives, and it just doesn't work out that way anymore, often enough or among sufficient people, to suit them.
Thanks for finding and sharing all this! Our outrage can never die until the need for it does.
Edited for a letter-typo and to add a couple of commas, just to vary things a bit here and there, lol.

Nancy, is the truth that the Obama administration spied
on the Trump campaign? Is this what you don't want to get out? That would shine a light on how corrupt the elections were, now wouldn't it? First Hillary steals the primary from Bernie, then she gets the Obama administration to spy on Trump.
Boy she did everything she could to keep him from staying on point, didn't she? "Look, tax cuts, DACA", national security...."

"Did I mention National
Security, Chris, becuz it's important to note that this so-called Memo goes Well beyond Hillary's election shenanigans, did I say that out loud, I meant to say way beyond the Trump's
shenanigans and gets deep into national security issues. National security, Chris. That is what this is about."

I kept wondering what national security has to do with the Russia investigation. How would releasing this memo compromise it? Letting Russia know that we know that they placed ads to get people to vote for Trump when they were placed on Facebook after the election? Yeah, genius catch guys.

Let Me See If I Have This Straight
The House GOP voted to release the misleading Nunez Memo, but voted not to release the misleading Democratic counter memo, because there's a classified word that Pelosi cannot even "reference".
How many times did Pelosi say "the Republicans crossed a line"? Well if you want propaganda to be effective it is necessary to repeat it over and over again. Good job Pelosi!
The argument seems to be that neither misleading memo should be released until the DOJ and other intelligence agencies review and redact classified words in the interest of transparency! All righty then.
Thanks for following and summarizing this story so I didn't have to Amanda. I wonder if Trump is going to reference "the word" in his SOTU speech tonight? If "the word" is "referenced" will that be grounds for impeachment?
Holy mole with guacamole. Is it possible to trivialize and degrade national security and the War on Terrorism any more than they already have been? Stay tuned, because I think the answer is "Yes We Can"!

Fancy Nancy fugue without toccata
That interview was classic Pelosi gaslighting Repugnants for what the DemonRATs have done since HER entered the DOS. Talk about endangering national security, what about the treasonous acts of Medusa? Talk about a cover-up being accomplished by a factual release of vital information. Nancy, we should believe Dem lies and not Repug lies? Saying that the author/sponsor of the FISA memo Nunes (whose first name, Fancy Nancy, is not Dennis) has not read the memo is preposterous. Talk about diversions, Nancy, that is exactly what you're doing.
OH, the name thing! I caught that
and meant to say something but was just too disgusted and amazed by her bizarre performance that I forgot. What with the repetitive accusations that this is going to destroy the intelligence community and that releasing The Memo! will ensure no nation will ever trust us again, I pulled a ‘Pelosi’ and got lost in what all I was trying to say. But at least you picked up on it. I think that’s a good indication of how far off the tracks Pelosi’s mental trolley has gone. Because I just don’t understand how rooting the corruption out of our OWN crooked government makes us look bad. I would think they’d trust us more because we’re willing to do that. The only people associated with the ‘intelligence’ community who are involved in our current corruption scandal are cheats and liars who were willing to corrupt our electoral system for their own ends. I would trust someone exposing these liars and cheats before I’d believe the liars and cheats who tried to rig a presidential election.
When I heard her calling him Dennis I also was wondered if that was a cheap shot at the guy by not using his real name. A way to denigrate him, make him seem like an unimportant low level nobody just stirring up trouble. On the other hand, maybe she’s just slipping into the Twilight Zone of senility.
Regardless, she certainly embarrassed herself with this interview.
EDIT: fixed stuff so that it made sense. I sounded a bit ‘Pelosi’d in my gibberish.
