If I ran the CIA, I’d have a couple of agents going over every inch of Pelosi’s life with a fine tooth comb.

The CIA is expressly forbidden to operate on United States territory when it comes to gathering intelligence. In particular, they are constrained from spying on US citizens. Should the need arise, they must turn their investigation over to the FBI.

There are exceptions, but investigating a seated representative would be way the hell over the line.

Besides, I doubt they’d find anything interesting, from their perspective. Most of her sins would turn out to be political in nature - moral and ethical lapses, not legal ones. The best investigation would be one conducted by a journalist dedicated to digging out hypocritical statements and outright lies told during her career.
