Pelosi disgraced herself

Pelosi is Speaker of the House.  Such a position of power requires a sense of responsibility.  Reports have it that she said that she wanted to see Trump in jail.   This is very irresponsible, for it could lead to retaliation.

If Trump is to be jailed for anything, it cannot be for political reasons.  That's the kind of thing that happens in banana republics.  For the Speaker of the House to talk like this is a very irresponsible thing to do, for it erodes the basis for a civil society.

If this report is true, then Pelosi should resign.  She would be unfit for such a high office, for it requires trust.  Such a statement is a breach of public trust.

If she said that he violated the law, and should be charged as such, that would be more defensible.  But it would still not be good.  The president would be entitled to a fair trial, as everyone else is.

Besides, the POTUS is innocent, and the Democrats are lying when they say otherwise.
