The public interest law firm Judicial Watch has received California Highway Patrol records, including 44 photos and five hours of audio/video footage, documenting the drunk driving arrest of Paul Pelosi, husband to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, in which he invokes his wealth and political power in an attempt to avoid arrest.
Paul Pelosi was pulled over on May 28, 2022, in Napa, California on suspicion of drunk driving.
The arresting officer's report noted, โThroughout my conversation with [Pelosi], I observed the following objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication: both of his eyes were red/watery, his speech was slurred, he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person, and he failed to provide logical answers to multiple questions I asked.โ
According to the videos and police reports, Paul Pelosi repeatedly invoked his wife's name and made references to his donations to a police charity in an apparent attempt to get officers to let him go.ย
Judicial Watch reports:
Video footage from Pelosi's arrest depicts his interaction with the CHP officers. He first makes reference to himself as a โhigh profile person,โ to which an officer responds, โright. I understand who you are. And I'm not out here to do anything to draw any negative attention to you. If you've being honest with me, there's really nothing you should be worried about.โ
Pelosi next invokes his wife's name, telling the officers that his โwife, Nancy, is back on the East Coast.โ
In response to Pelosi's invocation, an officer says, โI'll discuss with my supervisor โ what he's willing to do โ just because we know you're a high-profile person and I'll consult with him what he wants to do at that point.โโฆ
โฆ When asked for his driver's license, Pelosi hands the police officer his donor card from the โ11-99 Foundation,โ a California Highway Patrol benevolent charity, along with his California driver's license. Photos of Pelosi's Porsche from the crash scene also show that his license plate bears the 11-99 Foundation's logo.
Paul Pelosi also repeatedly asked to be allowed to have an Uber pick him up and take him home. He was told that was against policy. โA May 29, 2022 email titled โNewsworthy Arrest' from Captain John Blencowe to Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley explains that the CHP officers โattempted to cite and release [Pelosi], but he didn't want anyone else to be aware of his arrest,'โ Judicial Watch notes.

So it was a bribe.

If that was Joe every town citizen. he would be charged with attempted bribery.
Of course, the rich donโt and never have stolen from the rich. They steal from the poor.
Slime critters gonna slime.
If I had a wife like he does, jeez, I’d sniff a cork, too!
CLASSIC ENTITELED SCUM BAG NO MATER WHAT PARTY OF PERSON. HE’S GETTING AND GOT EXACTLY WHAT HER DESERVES, AND WHEN NASTY NANCY GETS PULLED OVER FOR TO MUCH OF THE FREE BOOZE SHE CONSUMES I HOPE SHE ENDS UP ROTTING IN CATHOLIC HELL NNO MATER WHAT THE LEFTIST POPE SAYS.
Officers were way too nice to him as far as I’m concerned. Next time I get pulled over for anything, I’m going to invoke Paul Pelosi’s name. I’m an elite too: I’m a taxpayer.
But its on His DMV Record

I wonder who voted for these Mother-F-ckers in the first place
What a sad man. He and “Beto” love the booze too much. Just a matter of time until they kill people driving drunk.
