February 13, 2020, 8:03 PMCatch up on the developing stories making headlines.After the Department of Justice overruled a sentencing recommendation made by career prosecutors in the case of’s longtime associate Roger Stone, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asserted on Thursday that the reversal represented another “abuse of power” that must be investigated by Congress.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi delivers remarks during a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Feb. 13, 2020.After Trump tweeted a complaint about a"miscarriage of justice," the Justice Department filed an updated sentencing memorandum in its case against Stone on Tuesday, noting that the previous recommendation by prosecutors of seven to nine years for Stone “would not be appropriate” and instead said it “defers to the court" while suggesting more lenient treatment.
In response, Pelosi said Attorney General William Barr has “deeply damaged” the Department of Justice, though she commended four prosecutors who withdrew from the case following the attorney general’s decision. “There’s no issue here,” McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters at a news conference Thursday, contending Democrats “do not have facts.”
“I wish it were sooner, but he did accept the invitation so we don't have to go another step there,” she continued.during testimony last year
They are getting tons of bribery money for their states!
She is crazy!! They have lied , cheated, false accusations against our President, colluded, they made deals with foreign countries! The Democrats are abusing their power!! Come November we will change that Nancy
Please retire!
Ship POLISE to vRussia 🇺🇸👹👹🇺🇸 !!!!!!!!'
Nancy GFY
.abc really Crucial
Impeach again!
How’s your Russian collusion story coming along? You were talking about it for almost three years or was that just another example of your disinformation propaganda?
She is laughable
Lock her up, mentally illness.
Opinion... we all have one! TRUMP 2020
Working. Living our lives, loving our friends and family and whatnot.
Covering their genitalia.....
Nap time...
abc the leftist propaganda mouth piece of the dem party.
SpeakerPelosi ...we deplorables are first waiting to cleanse your Senile arse out of office. Then we’ll cleanse the House, then Senate, and yes...eventually the Presidency. All of Washington is so negative $ bitter,any good you’ve ever done is easily forgotten. weneedchange
Send the 3rd article of impeachment.
Stop crying foul!
Shut up Nancy. No one wants to hear you lie anymore.
Blah, blah, blah🤪
Because it’s not a violation of the law!! That’s why.
Don't worry about the Republicans! Do your job! Do what WE pay you for!!!
Pelosi needs to sweep her own doorstep first. She has no credibility anymore
SpeakerPelosi just stop.
realDonaldTrump TAXES FOR GOLF: Trump&first lady travel to West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump has spent 1/3 of his presidency at Trump-owned/Trump-branded property, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of $ has played over 240 rounds of golf, costing taxpayers around $3 million
Barr has No Balls! Barr is obviously afraid of Pelosi.
Barr is a “Do Nothing” AG
He is unstoppable by both Republicans & Democrats. You must Learn how he escaped impeachment You need Majority in Senate to do anything
There is no violation of anything. You're just a radical, extremist, partisan politician who will say or do anything for power.
No lying fascist ABC! The systemic and blatant violation of the rule of law runs deep in the liberal fascist party! The injustice in this country is targeted against Republicans! This country has turned into a lawless 3rd world fascist country because of guilty lawless liberals!
Another democratic impeachment
Dingbat Pelosi “accusing?” How rare. It’s not like the Dingbat accuses day in and day out. For a Catholic, she sure loves to “Judge others.” If one plans to be a hypocrite, they shouldn’t talk about their faith.
Every time she do thing with her hand, their is an imaginary doggy poo with a bo-ty in her hand.
Yes! What are the GOP going to do? America is now a banana republic
'Where are the Republicans (because I certainly won't do it)?' Pelosi is useless.
Classified Coronavirus UPDATES, The True Origins, STATE OF EMERGENCY! via YouTube
Good question Nancy where are they?. They are sitting on the sidelines they are useless they are not representing any part of their constituents they represent no one except trum! Shameful
They would rather attack her for ripping up Trump’s ghastly State of the Union speech Than Barr breaking the law.
Please retire, you are such a broken record
Queen corrupts hypocrisy. Your no better than Drumpf Nancy. Vote Sanders!!
Not only are they lawless they are clueless!!!😡😡😡😡😡
We all know that won’t go anywhere. No reason to waste tax payer money to impeach him. Once it gets to the Senate, he will be acquitted. We already know the outcome. So there you to, long story short.
They are like little kids at some point you just shake your head and move on.....just like your reporting
They not cause Pelosi don’t know what she talking about.
The only blatant violation is that Nancy still has a job. FakeNewsABC knows just like Nancy that Trump didn’t do anything wrong yet they’ll still quote fake news as long as it makes Trump look bad. For many the worm has turned and the real truth will not be stifled.
The President can do that legally. Pelosi is again embarrassing herself and the Dems
They're all hiding. I didn't think it would be long before the GOP realized what a mistake they made at the impeachment hearings. Of course, I didn't think Trump would spiral out of control even worse. Thanks GOP.
They did speak out on the blatant violation of law. Acquittal. 🗽🇺🇸
She and the democrats will never shut up. They're a disgrace
After the illegal and unfair Schiff / Pelosi show in the bunker she has NOTHING to complain about.
They are nowhere to be found. I can see his abuse of power! The President does it daily and speaks openly that he can do it!
Tell me, who in power follows the rule of law? That’s why they are in power.
Pelosi accusing trump without evidence. That should be ABC's headline since they always say that about trump.
SpeakerPelosi couldn't stop two cat's from being attacked by a dog, she'd probably protect the dog & blame the cat's, lol. She need's to retire & can we get some term limits so we don't ever have to deal with career politicians planted in Congress ever again? That'd be great.
What an idiot. And she is responsible for leading the House. Separation of powers ensures that the executive branch does not hold power over the judiciary . So POTUS can say whatever he wants, and so could Joe Shmo.
Where are the Republicans? The answer is they're laughing at you resorting to reading tea leaves thru a crystal ball at a seance as cold hard facts that Trump's a criminal, & announcing that by God THIS TIME ITS TIME she & the Democrats are gearing up BIG TIME to do NOTHING!
First of all she’s just wrong that it is illegal. Second of all Obama did it on numerous occasions according to NPR radio today. Numerous.
COWARDS
Simple! Trump Tweeted a Week After the Fact, but once again Media made it sound like it was done at the same time. Must be nice for Dems to CONTROL & MANIPULATE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!
I have one
Which law was violated?
Hiding in shame
Please just shut the hell up !!!!
TruthMatters
Get a clue, Nancy. Republicans no longer care about the rule of law. Or the country, for that matter.
They’ve been purchased by Russian oligarchs.
Go to CA to take care of your district.
What is new?
You can stick a fork in this one. America sick to the heart seeing her, chuck and schiff.
Does she do any actual work?
CROOKS
When are you going to do any work?
PELOSI uses phrases that are never true. UN-Constitutional, Rule of Law--What Law would that be exactly. The President has every Right and Obligation to insure that the laws are being fairly applied. That is why it is called (Commander-and-Chief).
This from the queen of hypocrisy.
Just stop the propaganda.
At work.
Abuse of power? Pelosi, you should try to impeach him.
I agree
Bull .
Where were you when Obama was doing the exact same thing?
Barr said the president did not ask him to look into Stones case, Once again Pelosi is lying
why does Pelosi think she is above the law. Doing a 3 year coup on the president will be investigated, Then what Obama did to Trump having the fbi to get fisa warrants to spy and wire tap. The president is exposing the crimes on the democrats and they don't like it
They are cowering in a corner, as usual
Retire, Nancy
More left wing propaganda disgusting
And she doesn’t abuse power or waste tax payers money
Fear bating is all Dems have, the drama!
There is no violation of the rule of law , so unlike your fantasy TDS land - they are probably at work doing something positive for Americans ! ,SenateGOP ,HouseGOP ,realDonaldTrump ,RealJamesWoods ,brithume ,IngrahamAngle ,RealCandaceO ,seanhannity ,OANN ,foxnation
Wheres all the Dens Speaking out about McCabe. Remember no one is above the law. Pathetic hacks
They are hiding under their chairs. Except for Gym Jordan. He’s hiding in his locker
Know nothing Nancy, Trump is the head of the DOJ. Retire and go back to school. SpeakerPelosi
Oh wait... new impeachment charges Nancy 🤣
Rape in Islamic Law is governed by God's law⛹️
At least he’s expressing his disdain publicly and not in a secret tarmac meeting ...
Omg..I'm so tired of SpeakerPelosi I wish she would stfu already with her BS she's worse than a 1st grader. Whining about everything! Be happy your breathing..I mean jesus christ go on a vacation or disappear, something!! realDonaldTrump
Waiting for GOP to release a montage of all the times Obama weighed in on DOJ cases, like HRC’s secret server & Fast & Furious to name two.🙄
How dare the President have an opinion and use his free speech. Impeach!
She’s so upset about these egregious violations that she’s not going to do a damn thing about. She’s a complete fraud and not going to help defend democracy.
Investigations - more wasteful ways to fritter away your hard works money.
Trump will stop at nothing. The Republican Senate, except Romney, has given him a greenlight to do whatever the hell he wants. He will lie to all & destroy anyone in his way. And he will do just as he pleases. We have only begun to see his wrath. Vote out all who supported him!
Oh, let me guess liberals! 'Obstruction of justice' or some new bullshit! Please, PLEASE move to impeach him again!!! Pleaseeeee cut your own throats again!!!
TDS
She is a friggin wack job. The speaker of the house has trouble speaking. How embarrassing to be a Democrat with her as the speaker. 🤣😂
Trump said he could shoot someone on camera and still get Republican votes he also said Republicans are dumb
Here she goes again...forgetting about her own abuse of power or alcohol.
I wish we had term limits for Congress!
The legacy media is dead. Not since Gutenberg has your kind failed to send millions to their deaths in wars to preserve your money-laundering operations. What will humankind become now, free of your profound lies? I'm looking forward to it.
GO AWAY YOU DRUNK OLD BAT
Yes we deserve better than you Nancy!
Give it a rest Nancy. Go for a walk on the beach.
I really don’t understand this outrage. If Trump were really going to exert his power to help his friend wouldn’t he have just insisted the DOJ didn’t press charges at all?
This is actually the absolute constitutional prerogative of the President. Period. There is no “abuse of power” argument that is valid. Executive power is vested in the President. Will someone read the Constitution please? Article II.
Where are the Dems when McCabe gets off
Oh ffs. You know exactly where they are. You know exactly what they’re up to. Stop clutching your gd pearls and DO something about it. LEAD, woman!
dccc doing their BEST to CHEAT the American PEOPLE, by keep those that will represent the PEOPLE of America, and NOT the BIG $$$ ESTABLISHMENT DONORS, out of office!
Except he didn't interfere in anything? Imagine being that Trump deranged.
PardonRogerStone 🇺🇸🇺🇸
A tweet of opinion does not a policy make
AbuseOfPower you Say? ResignNow LiberalHypocrisy
She is right.
She is all citizens in this country when we are essentially powerless against Trump, McConnell and Barr....and 51 other feckless Republican Senators.
THERAN nasty Pelosi
why is the whole world laughing at us. behind closed doors of course
Democrats need to stop crying and actually focus on stuff that matters
Moving on
Does SpeakerPelosi shit in the streets like her constituents ?
Sure, but she said that after one too many cocktails.
Polident Pelosi....clueless as usual
LOL SAYS THE DO NOTHING, CRY BABY, WORTHLESS DEMOS
The republicans ARE screaming about blatant violation of the rule of law Nancy. But it's your people doing it!
The only one abusing power is Pelosi.
she can shut up now after intentionally wasting the one chance at accountability. ShahidForChange and the bullshit is over.
SpeakerPelosi is still around?
Trump can say Whst he wants GET OVER IT IDIOTS
Ah abc the unofficial mouth piece of the leftist party and it's speaker.
Probably won’t see any republicans speaking out because there is no violation. Only dems hallucinate this crap, not reps.
Stone should have never been charged. STFU SpeakerPelosi. This Republican has spoke out
CRAZY NANCY!
SpeakerPelosi please cite the actual law violated.
6:14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Cowering awaiting Trumps next orders
republicans are puppets on a string they only speak what trump wants them to say
Where are the Democrats to speak on the schitty streets of California while people urinate, poop, shoot up in public. Where is the rule of law?
Why would they? They gave up on the rule of law when they chose Trump. This is the party that accepted Trump withheld aide to strong arm Ukraine to investigate a political opponent, and said NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!
Where are the people who understand empirical facts? They’re traitors - they’ve gone out of their way to demonstrate this. Repeatedly. Yet we keep having to hear this silly question, instead of seeing meaningful action taken. Embarrassing.
If the Republicans at last decide they must impeach Trump for this latest most blatant abuse of power... pretty sure that Pelosi would make it bi-partisan! USPolitics uspoli TrumpAdministration
Stop. We all know where they are Nancy. It’s not a pretty place.
No... he never directed or ordred such things
I am certainly convinced! [ALL REPUBLICAN] = [Against our U.S.A. Constitution]. Still support Trump; dishonesty itself? 'Republican' is now a curse word. MoscowMitch MoscowTrump MoscowBarr\\ ~BRSchu

The US president said no American soldiers were injured in the attack on the Iranian base at Assad al-Assad. Lies Behind Lies
The Republican party has committed suicide. When they build a statue or monument to Nancy Pelosi, I hope it somehow incorporates or represents children, justice and the Constitution because Pelosi has championed all three her entire political career. 👪⚖📜🇺🇸
Hiding behind Trump!!! Cowards!!!
Government Of Putin
Dems chomping at the bit to impeach again.
This generation, cant hold their stuff together.*sighs*
Where? Laughing at you and your weak and pathethic party.
This lady just never stops fix your state San Francisco people are pooping outside in front of all the businesses so disgusting do your job Pelosi
Republicans have no integrity.
How do you spell Pelosi 'ABC'
Far left lib news at it again!
They don’t care. Jonestown.
The GOP was taken over by the T party which was started by the KKK whose mission is to overthrow the Government while using our flag and patriotism as fake fronts. That's why you don't hear from them! WAKE UP!
A president cannot comment on something he disagrees with, get real Nancy. Every president and person is allowed to give their opinion
They are speaking out! They’re screaming very loudly about the jury foreman who should be charged with lying. And screaming the need for Mr Stone to receive a new trial.
Is it illegal to have an opinion on such an impactful and traumatic event in a friends life, you fool he can pardon the man.
Oh sweetie, get something done. The Dems have become know as the party that’s wastes millions of taxpayers money on partisan investigations
Nancy, you’re nuts.
Nancy never uses any facts when she opens her mouth.Trump used a tweet for everyone.Barr said the change was coming before the tweet-Just did not announce it before Pres.Trump's tweet. Timing was off,that's all.
Hey Nancy, I don't remember you complaining about Obama's 'wing man' Eric Holder, or the tarmac meeting with Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton.
They do not believe the GOP should have laws. Their president said he could shoot someone in the street and the GOP would still support him. They've more than proved that theory. He will continue to commit bribery,treason, and high crimes and misdemeanors, and get away scot free.
They are! Dems are the ones committing crimes, they are just scared the truth will come out, and it will. Pain is coming.
This is what it's all about. The Rats are running scared.
The Philippines says it does not need the U.S. but will be friends with China. Korea is not a friend with China. Trump, however, has a clear commitment to withdrawing THAAD. Take it with you. Breaking promises is the best thing in the world, right?
NBCNews SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi GOP without a voice. Trump speaks for them all. Republicans are silent but deadly to democracy as we know it.
Democrats follow laws? I don’t recall them obeying laws
Will this troublemaker Nancy Pelosi ever stop trying to stir up anti-Trump chaos for the accomplished President of America? Let the President do his job do nothing lady.
Intence Menopause going on with her
Joke right? Nancy has allowed the most corrupt politicians of the democrats party to openly operate
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.....there was a time when I actually listened to what they had to say. Now I have developed the coveted “man skill” of just blocking it out. I just hear background noise.
It's just a matter of time before democrates and journalists will be arrested and jailed based on 'national security'.
There is no violation unless you are talking about Shitty shiff and his abuse of power
The GOP silence’s deafening. They’re all too scared of a tweet. Sad, pathetic, spineless, Trump toadies will be remembered in the history books. They don’t believe abuse of power is impeachable, hence Trump’s revenge rampage. Mitt Romney stood up for abuse of power, didn’t matter
I imagine the same place the Democrats were when blatantly violated it at the State of the Union Shut up Nancy 🤐
Yawns
Where were the Democrats when the House abused their power?
She keeps saying that as if democrats follow the rule of law.
She needs to step down. Utter failure.
Yes, where are they?
they are still hiding under their bed, where all cowards hide
You deserve 7 to 9, not him.
She has nothing to do other than fabricate issues regarding her hate for Trump?
Nancy accuses and accuses , but Trump is STILL tearing America apart !! I'm NOT a Trump fan ,that for darn sure But these Dems in the House are useless .. And I am VERY VERY disappointed in them !
Democrats have no moral high ground after THEIR KANGAROO COURT DISPLAY IN THE HOUSE WITH SCHIFF, PELOSI, AND NADLER.
Trolls gonna troll.
Really sorry, but Pelosi is the evidence that an undersexed person is bringing negative actions as well ...
... And shame on you abc for not calling this Barr interview the BS that it so clearly is. Make it right and report the reality and truth, regardless of the size of the scoop. Fox is their propaganda, not you abc.
We are still waiting for the prosecutions of numerous Obama officials for lying to Congress.
Pelosi making a fool of herself again by publicly making accusations that are completely false. ABC gets an F for tweeting about conspiracy theory.
Nancy is corrupt
If anyone’s abused power it’s these power-crazed Dems using their impeachment power every time they have a disagreement. They need to be out of power in 2020! The sooner, the better!
SpeakerPelosi maybe they're praying about it! Did pray about pre-ripping the speech to make a big stupid insulting statement of ripping it up What about the violations of RepAdamSchiff blatantly lying to us about the WB & Russian collusion for 3+ yrs.?
take it up with william barr. he detached trump from all of this, completely, today.
Demoncrats wigging out.
Give it up. TDS strikes again!
Lol she just won't quit
Tweeting about a clear case of excessive prosecution isn’t evidence of interference into said prosecution. First amendment applies to all Americans, including the president, whether you like it or not. TRUMP2020Landside LiberalismisaMenalDisorder
Some might believe SpeakerPelosi actually cared about the rule of law if they would take time to get the facts and be equaled concerned about FISA abuse which has yet to be investigated by the house and is a huge issue for our Republic.
They are Too Looking Trumps ass !
Republicans are where they should be. At home rolling on the floor laughing at speakerpelosi call this a blatant violation of the rule of law.
Bullshit Nancy.
Pelosi is a liar. She's not as clueless as she acts she just can't tell the truth.
Nobody believes anything Pelosi says, her, Schiff and Schumer have destroyed the left's credibility. Once you've been to the circus a few times you start to realize it's the same old show.
Bahahahahaha go to sleep nonna
Republicans did speak out and say the proposed sentence was exorbitant and politically motivated.
Go back to castle Grey Skull you witch.
This is your captain speaking we are Sailing with the Coronavirus at 10 knocticals per hour nice and breezy. Your next port of call will be Italy. hang out with Coronavirus, mersa and influenza they will all be on the upper deck Have a happy Coronavirus day
Cowering in the corner.
If Trump didn’t tweet what he did this week, the Stone decision wouldn’t have blown up as much.
One thing Trump has accomplished. Democrats are actually paying attention to what the president is doing after 8 years of sleeping and ignoring numorous scandals, children in cages, spying on journalists, drone bombing American citizens, starting 5 new wars....
And where was the prosecution of Hillary Clinton? For destroying 33,000 emails under subpoena. Crickets from the left and the news of course !
That's what I always say... Never give booze to a person with dementia
That’s not an accusation that’s a FACT!
Nice unbiased headline ABC!!
Wow. If I were one of the judicial group involved I would be pissed. Who does SpeakerPelosi thinks she is stating that a person could sway a Judge’s decision. I trust they know their jobs and are professionals.
They kissing ass is where they at. scrubs
Where are the Democrats to speak out in her blatant abuse of non-stop impeachment? The Trump re-election committee thanks her for all her hard work in making sure he stays in office another 4 years. tds tcot MAGA2020 MAGA2020LandslideVictory PelosiMustGo PelosiTantrum
Silent and Complicit as always
ABC NEWS IF YOU SPENT 5 seconds on the truth you would know the DOJ was working on this for a week before the tweet. Lazy reporters do your job. YOUR TDS is strong.
Evidence reveals Stone trial jury foreperson was a blatant lib, lied on juror questionnaire. Seems relevant.
She is “the Speaker that cried wolf”. **Everything’s** a “blatant violation” of something. How can any of these nearly-daily rants be taken seriously?
working for americans unlike dems
