RWNJs have always been stupid and deceitful about confusing trial and investigative standards. “Hearsay” is usually inadmissable in trial testimony but a perfectly valid basis for initiating an investigation. Similarly, I routinely see wingnuts whinge about presumption of innocence being violated when a GOP fatcat or pedophile preacher is arrested, as though conviction in a court of law is necessary BEFORE the defendant is arrested.

Exactly. They’re saying Pelosi has no evidence. She’s got plenty for a trial. People have been tried with less evidence.
