Except it wasn't true. It was a lie. He disclosed them. Which means the IRS had access to the income generated.

I demand an investigation into any possibility that Pelosi's overseas investments didn't come back to the USA via laundered drug money.

According to Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement, the Democratic House Minority Leader received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC,” a group that emphasizes that it has a “A Singular Focus on Investing in Asia.” A quick trip to the company website reveals a featured post extolling the virtues of outsourcing.

“Designed in California, Made in Manila”
sounds like an excellent title for a smear ad to be run the by the Barack Obama campaign. Instead, it appears to be Nancy Pelosi’s investment strategy.

Pelosi is also a small investor in the embattled “Moduslink Global,” one of the “outsourcing pioneers” that Mitt Romney has been criticized for associating with while at Bain Capital.

They all are.
How about we demand that insider trading in Congress be illegal.
They all do it and it's not illegal.

So how about using something that the all don't do.

And where are you demanding this, on CD?
Do you have any reason to believe what you're asserting?
Or just throwing mud hoping that enough will make something stick?

Clearly they are demanding it on CD, do you need someone to explain it to you?

Was there a reason the Dems ran around accusing Romney of being unamerican for having investments overseas?
