If the Republicans take Congress...


They can immediately call for a Congressional investigation into the security breach at the Pelosi mansion, right? Federal jurisdiction, with Capitol officers on high alert all summer after Dobbs came down, even on the West Coast? 

First, the leaking now this big breach...

Subpoena the responding officer -- ask him how many people were on premises upon arrival. Early reports are in conflict. Release the 911 tape.  Body cam tapes too. They are worn for conflicting situations like this. 

Give us a full timeline of all the actors' accounts for the evening. Mr. Pelosi and his alleged assailant. Like with the Ted Kennedy nephew -- Wm. Smith and the pantyhose removal details on the beach in Palm Beach lo 30 years ago -- who was wearing what and when matters. (ie/ when did the alleged assailant shed his clothes while allegedly awaiting Nancy; were any rape threats made?)

A full bipartisan panel can help us learn details to protect our longtime public servants and their families. Maybe Liz Cheney can lead the questioning if our media can't get past security with freedom of information requests (FOI) .

Something tells me Ezra Klein's crew of journOh!lists in Cali or working for the NYT won't touch this story, political though it's been pumped. Poor Paul Pelosi.   The hearings will be hard on him, even if he is 100% forthcoming...

Sign o' the times.
