While Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was supposed to be arraigned on Wednesday (only his lawyer showed up), Cockburn learned something suspicious about his recent car crash. Court documents reveal that Pelosi had been in the crash “while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and a drug and under their combined influence.”
What could that drug possibly be? Cockburn wouldn’t know: he’s a committed drinker but plays it safe with the harder stuff.
Amanda Bevins, Pelosi’s attorney, told Fox News Digital that she believed “the drug reference is part of the statutory boilerplate language in the complaint.”
Either way, as it stands right now, Paul Pelosi not only failed to appear for the trial, but his attorney put in a not guilty plea. Despite this, Cockburn suspects the justice system will treat Paul with kids gloves rather than punish a drunk driver who caused injury to another motorist.
Elsewhere, the Fox News show Jesse Watters Primetime dropped the bombshell that Pelosi’s arraignment judge had stepped down and was subsequently replaced. The replacement was Monique Langhorne, a Democrat who used to work in the District Attorney’s office.
This is the first ever criminal case over which Langhorne is presiding, conveniently enough. Cockburn can only hope she presides fairly and justly…though if you believe she will, you should quit journalism and invest in bridges for a living.
Watters said of Langhorne, “She’s very well-connected, she was appointed to a special advisory board by Gavin Newsom too, so I mean this is totally deck stacking if I’ve ever seen it.”
Of all of the things people can expect for the Pelosi family, a fair trial is certainly not one of them.
