The White House on Friday adamantly denied House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claim that it leaked plans for a delegation’s proposed commercial flight to Afghanistan, as details from a State Department cable cautioning her office about the trip raised further questions about the allegation.
Why would Nancy Pelosi leave the Country with other Democrats on a seven day excursion when 800,000 great people are not getting paid. Also, could somebody please explain to Nancy & her “big donors” in wine country that people working on farms (grapes) will have easy access in!

Pelosi’s office, however, maintained that the administration had in fact leaked the details to the media.
