Pelosi's brother in law

The sad news of the loss of Pelosi's brother made me think of an interesting family trivia fact about her family. Her brother in law, James Pelosi, was a West Point cadet expelled for cheating in the 1970s. He challenged the expulsion and won reinstatement. He said he had done nothing wrong- who knows what the facts were, all these decades later. However he was then famously "shunned" by the other cadets. For the rest of his time there, he had virtually no friends, no one would speak to him or sit by him at lunch, etc etc. Pretty rough treatment. However he refused to quit, graduated with a commission, and served his time in service honorably.

It doesn't say anything about Pelosi one way or another of course. I just thought it was interesting.
