In that clip it sounds like she's talking about other people giving her credit, not pelosi taking credit. There's not enough context to tell.
And she's a backbencher.
This is not Steny. This isn't John Lewis or Elijah Cummings or Linda Sanchez.
This is someone with no real accomplishments in the House and no real following in the caucus. She's never even been in a junior leadership position like the ones I mentioned above.
Anyone with any weight or consequence has endorsed Pelosi.

Nancy ony gets credit whenever she loses seats, not when she gains 40. Like a week ago.
From Hell's heart, I stab at thee
lol, ok.. No there's no Indiana Jones, but Super Mario World is coming in 2020 at least!
Havent seen a single person do that, saw a lot of the opposite though that if she dropped out it would be better for house races
My god lady, those moderate dems are using your ass. don't fall for it.
There is a raging inferno all around us and these people are bitching about the fire chief's shoes.
I gotta admit, I'm starting to buy into the AOC hype a bit. Obviously this is years down the road but I really wonder where she sees herself in a decade or two. Does she hope to stay in Congress and assume a leadership position there or will she seek higher office?
Pelosi has promised Progressive Caucus members some good committee positions in the House.
Solidifying her support among that bloc - the one from which she hails.
Because Pelosi didn't set up anyone else to build up those credentials. The one person that she did set up was so incompetent he couldn't even win a primary as an incumbent in the most incumbent protectionist state in the country.
That 2020 date is for Japan, not Florida breh
So basically like someone with dignity. Unlike Done Kim.
Just today there was news DoJ was preparing charges against Assange.
Cant be a coincidence.
Felon disenfranchisement is a literal Jim Crow law which has worked as intended to diminish the voting power of black Floridians for over a hundred years up to and including the 2018 elections. The restoration of voting rights to this group of over a million Floridians is absolutely beneficial to Democratic candidates in the state; however, that framing is comparable to calling Pennsylvania's new congressional districts a "Democratic gerrymander."
It was necessary to pretend this was a nonpartisan issue for Amendment 4 to get the 60% support needed to pass. I don't have to pretend anymore. This was a very partisan issue because it was a racial issue.
Oh yeah, and remember how the news reported lots of questions being asked about Nigel Farage? The dude that visited Assange that one time?
I know speaker of the house can be literally anyone on the planet, but is that the same of senate majority leader?
No iirc they need to be a senator of the majority party so...
Yeah, seems that way. Law twitter thinks someone fucked up a copy & paste of boilerplate language in a motion to seal.
here's some more analysis showing it's not likely a mistaken reference to some other Joe Assange:
I think speaker is special because it's a constitutional office?
Maybe:

This is really something, and seems to be quite the slip up from EDVA. Struggling to think of a better hypothesis than Mike's.
Mike Levine @MLevineReports
Guys, this is truly an amazing find by @SeamusHughes. My hypothesis is: prosecutors used a filing in an Assange-related case as a template for a filing in this case, but forgot to change the one paragraph. If true, it means sealed charges have been filed against Julian Assange. https://twitter.com/seamushughes/status/1063232297674162176 …

I don't think anyone is owed credentials. When Pelosi moved up in leadership, it was because she worked hard and ran against incumbent leaders, against their wishes. And she won. Obviously, it's a good idea for her to train more of next generation's future leaders, but if there's someone out there now that's competent enough to challenge her for the Speaker position, then that's on them to do so.
Right. Speaker of the House and President Pro-Tempore of the Senate are mandated by the Constitution.
The other positions are just parliamentary conventions.
If that shit is a legit fuckup we may see fireworks soon because its under seal for a reason. Oh boy.
OK tinfoil time.....
This is a deliberate slip up so that Whittaker can't shitcan the Assange indictment because it's waaaay too explosive.

Using Gillibrand's signature "weathervane but 15 minutes early" style to read some tea leaves about where the rest of the big names in the party are going: opposition to corporate interests is going to be a big part of what the more progressive 2020 primary contestants use to differentiate themselves from the rest of the field - and I think it'll work pretty nicely. Amazon won't be the big target, I think, people still mostly likely them, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that airlines, ISPs, other big easy monopoly targets without any real base of public support will be under fire in a real sense.
Senate Majority Leader is a made up position created by the Senate. I expect if the Senate made a rule saying the Magic Conch Shell is now the majority leader, it would be so.
Both candidates in uncalled races often go to orientation. Last time I believe that Issa's Democratic opponent went, for example, even though he was behind and did end up losing.Young Kim went to freshman orientation this week:
Cisneros got invited but may or may not have gone.
Little premature there.
Probably because nothing came of the Lester Holt interview except for whatever Mueller is using it for, and we can't see that.
To be fair, Josh Harder, Gina Ortiz Jones, Andy Kim, Anthony Brindisi, and Katie Porter were in the picture before their races were called (and GOJ will lose), but I think Gil made the right call IMO.
All uncalled races usually go just in case.

Or it's a fuck up that won't be addressed at all and we may not learn the truth of it for a long time.
It's 10pm eastern and the forum is eating posts again. Without fail every night forum either slows to a crawl or eats posts. Definite issue here.
The second mistaken Assange reference in the filing mentions extradition, which wasn't an issue in the actual case the filing was for (though I don't know if that might be standard boilerplate regardless of circumstances):

They really fucked up. If Assange gets word of this and tries to run...
Isn't this around the time the story came out that Assange was about to be extradited?
Run out of the embassy where he will immediately be picked up by the British police?
Haha probably right. It's late.
Imagine if Assange had been forced to just face the music on his original sex crimes charge. Fucking none of this would have ever happened.
