Now, what do you think would happen to you or me if we were to crash our car into another motorist … while drunk, after having lied to officers about how much I had been drinking?
I have a feeling we would look like the monopoly man on the ‘go to jail’ card …. an we would not be getting out anytime soon.
Luckily for Paul, that’s not how things work when your wife is the 2nd in line to the most powerful seat in the free world …
Fox News broke the story, reporting:
‘California Highway Patrol (CHP) has released photos and videos recorded on the night of a May 28 crash involving Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who pleaded guilty to a DUI charge earlier Tuesday.
The long-awaited video shows Pelosi’s alleged slurred speech and what police previously described as “objective” signs of intoxication, as well as police asking him to perform field sobriety tests.
As Fox News Digital has reported, Pelosi’s 2021 Porsche and the other driver’s 2014 Jeep sustained “major collision damage” in a crash around 10:17 p.m. on May 28, and responding officers found Pelosi in the driver’s seat in his damaged car near the intersection of California Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road.
Pelosi’s voice is not always easily made out over the road noise, but he can be heard telling an officer he had a “glass of champagne before dinner” and also “a glass of white.”
Pelosi told the officers he started drinking around 7 p.m. and finished around 8. After stops at the hospital, the local CHP office and finally the county jail, investigators determined he had a blood-alcohol content of .082%.’
…
‘Pelosi spoke to officers with slurred speech and handed them his driver’s license and an “11-99 Foundation” card when they asked for his ID, according to court documents. The 11-99 Foundation is a California Highway Patrol charity that supports officers and provides scholarships for their children.
According to a criminal complaint, at around 10:17 p.m. on May 28, a 911 caller reported the crash near the intersection of California Route 29 and Oakville Cross Road, about five miles from Pelosi’s vineyard estate.’
…
Pelosi allegedly exhibited “signs of impairment” during field sobriety tests, and officers “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication,” according to the documents. He had red, watery eyes and appeared “unsteady on his feet.
“He’s constantly grabbing onto the patrol car just to keep his balance,” one officer can be heard telling another as they discuss the situation. At the same time, Pelosi can be seen walking in front of the dashcam with his hand on the front push bar.
…
And he had more than two hours to burn off alcohol in his system before investigators took a blood sample.
…
Paul Pelosi pleaded guilty to a DUI charge earlier Tuesday and received a sentence that includes three years on probation, restitution to the victim and a three-month DUI program. He must also have a certified ignition device installed on his vehicle for a year.’
Here is a copy of the video we pulled off of a Facebook page. Watch it before it gets memory holed for good …
