That’s the background. In the intervening time up until now, it seems he was involved with the nudist movement in the Castro (a gay district in SF), which had a lot of conflict over public nudity, he got married and had three children, was left by his wife and children, who have now all been accusing him of sexual molestation, was abandoned by his siblings because he was sending them threatening messages...so I’m voting for him as a still and continuing nutcase.
However, I think he had either been in the Pelosi house before (possibly as a deliveryman or even an event photographer) and knew it at least slightly, or was carrying out some real or imagined grudge against Paul Pelosi, possibly in connection with the DUI accident in Napa.
It had nothing to do with Nancy, because if he’d wanted to get her, he would have known that she wasn’t in town...and in any case, when he asked Paul “is your wife here?” he was just checking to make sure there was nobody else in the house.
It’s certainly possible that Paul Pelosi was calling out for gay hookers, since the older the creeps get, the weirder they get. If DePape brought the rope with him, I’d say it was a freaky gay BD situation, and possibly the break-in was staged to make it more authentic. There are older men who seem to like this idea of forced sex.
But whatever, this was not political and not random - because DePape had picked out a house that an ordinary burglar wouldn’t even consider, thinking there’d be too much security - but we’ll never know.
Paul Pelosi is under so many layers of protection that the police are already “correcting” their accounts.
So I personally don’t care. Nobody will ever know the truth for at least 100 years, by which time...assuming Biden hasn’t gotten us all killed in the nuclear war he appears to think is a joke...nobody will care anyway.
The lack of security at the home of the Speaker of the House is astounding, particularly since the Dems have made such a big deal about the alleged threat of “right-wing extremism” leading up to the election. It’s almost as if they don’t believe their own rhetoric. Or, maybe this was a set-up.
