Last fall, Nancy Pelosi pledged to find “common ground” with President Donald Trump and the Republicans once she became House Speaker. Sadly, she abandoned that pledge even before being sworn in. In so doing, she displayed either a flagrant ignorance of or willful blindness to Department of Justice (DOJ) legal rules.
In an NBC interview hours before officially starting her speakership, Pelosi responded to a question about whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller could indict Trump while in office: “I think that is an open discussion in terms of the law.”
