Both Jenkins and Scott appeared visibly shaken when discussing the attack on Paul Pelosi, with Jenkins saying it was clearly a “politically motivated” attack."

“If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison for the assault count and 20 years in prison for the attempted kidnapping count,” the Justice Department said in a statement Wednesday.

 

With the indictment, DePape is facing both federal and state charges, which include “attempted murder, residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false imprisonment of an elder, as well as threats to a public official and their family,” according to San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins.

The above referenced federal indictment indicates the San Francisco Police officers who responded to the Pelosi home were wearing their functioning body cameras at the time they encountered the suspect DePape:

 

"6. Moments later, at approximately 2:31 a.m., SFPD officers responded to the Pelosi Residence and two officers knocked on the front door. The two officers who approached the door had their body-worn cameras activated. The two officers opened the door to see the foyer of the Pelosi Residence, Mr. Pelosi, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, DEPAPE in shorts, running shoes and a sweatshirt, and DEPAPE and Mr. Pelosi jointly gripping a hammer."

 

And that the entire encounter between police and DePape lasted about 15 seconds in total.

The updated  indictment also includes a new reference to the additional targets on the alleged list that DePape had for his attacks:

 

"e) DEPAPE further identified another person, referred to here as “Target 1,” as “way up” on his target list, and he explained that he had a plan to use Speaker Pelosi to lure Target 1 to DEPAPE."

We were called "conspiracy theorists" for asking valid questions remember? Good to see we were not wrong. I suspected after the mid terms were out of the way and political mileage had been milked to the max by the democrats that interesting details would be made available concerning the events that made zero sense as presented.

I believe that the NBC reporter said that Depape was wearing underpants. Shorts are not the same thing as underpants.

I’m not sure how you draw that conclusion.

 

The two officers opened the door to see the foyer of the Pelosi Residence, Mr. Pelosi, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, DEPAPE in shorts, running shoes and a sweatshirt, and DEPAPE and Mr. Pelosi jointly gripping a hammer."

Was the point of the story that Depape was wearing underpants? That was the big takeaway from it for obvious reasons. It sparked a whole foul outpouring from the loony right about Depape being a gay prostitute and Pelosi being his customer. Not that any members of this forum would have subscribed to such nonsense.

You are called a conspiracy theorist (I would say ‘conspiracy monger’) because you latch onto and spread ‘conspiracy theories’. 
 

Your post here being an example.

Now, the question remains as to why Pelosi engaged attacker instead of letting police handle it.

The link you posted is a report of what an un identified person claims they saw in body cam footage.

 

You haven’t seen the body can footage and you have no way of knowing if the person who claimed to see the footage did either.

 

I suggest sticking with the evidence and sworn testimony presented to the court.

He should have had you there as his coach. Maybe because he was terrified of turning his back on an armed lunatic?

What they have is an infinite ability to adjust reality to fit their self deception.

 

New facts undermining their first conspiracy theory will simply result in doubling down with a newly amended version.

Let’s have the details then.

 

 

Or shall we wait for evidence and sworn testimony presented in court, your cop will surely appear for the ‘defense’, if of course he’s not abducted by aliens.

The DOJ got it wrong as to who opened door, but we have to assume what Depape was wearing is correct. Goes to show the DOJ aren't always right.

I’m not a in the least bit afraid of the truth, which is why I say skip the unattributed hearsay and wait to see the evidence and sworn testimony presented in court.

 

Or perhaps you believe have no need to fear the truth will come out in court.

Evidence, not hearsay.
