#1 Nancy says this is a "private matter" as if indictments are not public matters.

#2 The case is filed as a misdemeanor and it will now disappear into the memory hole called California Political Aristocracy Special Needs Case Management.
Note the guy Pelosi hit has asked for the privacy protection. Curiously, he may be seeing retirement opportunities in the near future. It is also alleged that Pelosi showed the ID card of his organization 11-99 Foundation. The 11-99 Foundation provides financial assistance and scholarships to California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers and their families.

There were statements on social media that California Governor stepped in to help Paul and that a Sheriff had reached the scene of the crash but left the scene after ensuring that no one was injured.
Curious, since the following excerpt from the Napa County Sheriff's Office Policy and Procedures Manual states in part:
"'Napa County Sheriff's Office
Napa County SO Policy Manual
Traffic Collision Reporting
Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2022/02/01, All Rights Reserved.
Published with permission by Napa County Sheriff's Office
Traffic Collision Reporting - 430
501.4.5 TRAFFIC COLLISIONS ON ROADWAYS OR HIGHWAYS
Traffic collision reports shall be taken when they occur on a roadway or highway within the
jurisdiction of this department where we have traffic enforcement authority under any of the
following circumstances:
(a) When there is a death or injury to any persons involved in the collision
(b) When a Hit and Run occurs (Vehicle Code § 20002)
(c) When a report is requested by any involved driver"

Almost like the SO wanted to avoid the accident investigation as soon as it leaned the ID of the parties involved, despite injury.

Napa DA Press Release in part:
" The charges filed today include Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Causing Injury and Driving With .08% Blood Alcohol Level or Higher Causing Injury. Under California law, these charges can be filed as a misdemeanor or felony. Based upon the extent of the injuries suffered by the victim, the District Attorney filed misdemeanor charges. This decision is consistent with how our office handles these cases with similar injuries. The punishment for driving under the influence causing injury as a misdemeanor is set by California law. It includes up to five years of probation, a minimum of five days in jail, installation of an ignition interlock device, fines and fees, completion of a court ordered drinking driver class, and other terms as appropriate. Mr. Pelosi was released from custody upon his promise to appear for an arraignment in Napa County Superior Court on August 3, 2022. The court date was selected by the Napa County Department of Corrections at the time of Mr. Pelosi’s release. The survivor in this matter has exercised his rights under the California Constitution Article 1, section 28(b) as amended by “Marsy’s Law” to be treated with fairness and respect for his privacy and dignity, and to be free from intimidation, harassment and abuse throughout the criminal process. We ask that all members of the media honor the exercise of his right. Evidence in a filed criminal case, including but not limited to: witness testimony, medical diagnoses, photographs, and body/dashboard camera video are properly presented to a court or a jury. The District Attorney’s Office cannot ethically release these items to the public under the California Rules of Professional Conduct. Prosecutors in California are specifically prohibited from making any public disclosure that will or could prejudice the defendant’s ability to secure a fair trial. An attorney who violates the Rules of Professional Conduct is subject to private or public reprimand, suspension or
disbarment. "

#3 Yeah, and we only just learned (well, I just learned) that another individual was injured.

It is a bit old, but it's still valid: just imagine if this had been a Trump relative or some other big-shot GOP'er. We'd never hear the end of it.

I'm sure the Pelosi's will just cash in some of their recent ~~insider~~ stock purchases and make a "Miscellaneous" entry somewhere.

#4 ^^ Plus, she probably has a judge/DA (or 2/3/4/...) in that district that owe her multiple favors.

#5 Regarding Pelosi's mug shot, it didn't have a side view nor the height ruler behind him while holding his booking number.
Just more special treatment

#6 Don't forget that test was after 4+ hours. If he was still legally drunk he must have been absolutely shitfaced when he ran that stop sign.

#7 In his defense: - If I had to face that every morning...I'd drink hard too. You're going to hell anyway...
