Her wheelhouse seems to be that she can generate more fake stories than conservatives can expose as lies.

Isn't that what they sent Martha Stewart to jail for "insider trading" to try to make it look like they were cracking down on white collar crime when they were looting America

$238 million net worth? That's fucking insane.
I can understand how end-of-career politicians end up with a few million (like 4-5 million). Lobbying, books, speaking events, etc, all pay well, and I'd like to assume they have at least basic money management skills. Today, being a millionaire isn't exactly hard if you have a $150k-200k job like she does.
However, how the fuck could she explain $238 million? She first took office in '87, so 32 years in office. That averages to a little under $7.5 million a year. Less her salary, and she's pulling in an extra $7.3 million per year.
Even Hillary Clinton only charged $625,000 to speak at Goldman Sachs. Pelosi would have to give 12 Clinton-level speeches per year to hit that net worth. As far as I know, Pelosi only has one book from 11 years ago, and doesn't do much (if any) public speaking.
Where is the money coming from? (((Our neighbors)))?
