Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was ridiculed on Twitter Thursday over her reaction to the indictment of former President Donald Trump — as she appeared to butcher a key principle of criminal law.
“The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law,” Pelosi (D-Calif.), 83, wrote in her post.
“No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence,” she added. “Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”
Her failure to recognize that Trump is granted the presumption of innocence, one of the most basic requirements of a fair trial and an internationally recognized human right by the United Nations, sparked criticism on the social media platform.

She’s a communist.
NO, they changed this key principle.
Libtards have been breaking the law so long they don’t even pretend anymore
Stalinists will be Stalinists.
She demonstrated her Communist proclivities when she shredded that copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address back in 2020.
Prove me wrong.
Mocked? C’mon man. She just told the truth.
Accompanied by her constant companions, Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan.
Expect nonsense from Queen Nazi Pelosi and you won’t be disappointed
Just a thought…. Does this type of public statement of needing to proce innocence taint the possible jury pool? It’s a butt load of disinformation
When did that principle of law change? We don’t need no stinking Congress or courts. Nancy can sit at judgement for whichever cases she deems necessary. Aparrently no one has the will to oppose her.
What she means is that everyone has the right to be declared guilty of anything the commie Democrats accuse them of.
‘Boob Job Nancy’ just turned 83.
Looking forward to the day that:
Pelosi can prove that she did not commit insider trading,
Swalwell can prove he did not sleep with a Chinese spy,
Biden can prove that he is not bought and used by the Communists Chinese Government.
That will be a happy day.
Proving your innocence will be shown by your compliance to the state's initiatives.
it’s not an error....it’s the elitist/dem-libhole frame of mind:
government grants rights to the little people. and they will graciously allow you to defend yourself to attempt prove your innocence.
... who were fighting over the Grey Goose ...
SOP for the left. Just say it over and over and over until it becomes the “truth”.
Gee I thought insider trading was illegal but I guess as long as you are a dem it’s fine
Above the law Nan? Bill, Hillary, Sleepy Joe and family, and more with a (D) behind their name.
Hey Nancy, pick up the RED phone. Satan is calling !!!
