It's amazing that when you break all that down, removing all the money from politics seems to fix so many other issues.

I'm mildly curious about what dependable sources with access to facts around the subject are saying. What you "heard" is not particularly relevant without those sources.
If Pelosi is in fact invoking some form of political or executive immunity then clearly she's just as innocent as Trump. Unless his privileges are morally superior to hers for whatever reason? 🤔

Yes. The details of that dialogue, not so much. But here's a quick glimpse of her priorities on that day:
Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for General Milley, confirmed that the phone call with the speaker had taken place but described it as informational. “He answered her questions regarding the process of nuclear command authority,” he said.

Nuclear command authority was her priority on January 6th?

if you pay attention to what was said, there is a conflict. Sund says he asked for the NG to assist, the new sergeant at arms said he never did. Sund turned over all his data, the new sergeant at arms won't give up the data and said ask the Speakers' office, they said no.
So regardless of what you wish to accept, those are the facts as told in that video. maybe once the GOP has control, someone will ask the difficult questions, under oath.
Matthews’ memo begins by focusing on a 2:30 p.m. conference call on Jan. 6 that included senior military and law enforcement officials, himself and Walker among them. Then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund “pleaded” on the call for the immediate deployment of the National Guard to the Capitol, Matthews recalled, saying that rioters had breached the building’s perimeter. Walker has also told Congress that Sund made that plea then. According to Matthews, Flynn and Piatt both opposed the move.
At the time, Piatt was the director of Army staff, one of the top generals in the Pentagon, and Flynn was the Army’s director of operations. The two men were the highest-ranking Army officials who spoke on the 2:30 call, according to Matthews.
“LTG Piatt stated that it would not be his best military advice to recommend to the Secretary of the Army that the D.C. National Guard be allowed to deploy to the Capitol at that time,” Matthews wrote, adding: “LTGs Piatt and Flynn stated that the optics of having uniformed military personnel deployed to the U.S. Capitol would not be good."

Oh, did she not turn down the request for the national guard. Because Trump requested it. So, it woukd seem he did more to prevent 1/6 than Pelosi did. Btw, how does butt hole smell? Hopefully not like she looks. Not that you would mind either way

For whatever reason, she seemed to expect the former president would exploit his nuclear options for unhealthy purposes. I can't say she was right or wrong on that matter.

The same guy who lied about Pelosi interfering with security reinforcements at the capitol. Of course it's possible he wasn't lying on purpose, just genuinely dumb.
