Below is the disastrous Pelosi press briefing where her speakership may have possibly come to an ugly end.

Missed this blockbuster news: Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader, the most wanted terrorist after Osama bin Laden, with a $25 million bounty on his head, is holed up near Quetta, Pakistan, according to a highly placed Pakistani intelligence source. … Al-Zawahiri’s recent movements can be tracked with some specificity.
