I agree with you. Paul Pelosi will refuse to press charges. The attacker will be paid to stay quiet. The police will release little information of value. The British tabloids will stay on it for awhile (good for them).
But eventually this entire story will disappear.
Harry Reid's story came out eventually. Well, actually, it didn't.
That's about it. We will read more about it on the Daily Mail. But Nancy will just say that is gossip printed by the tabloids.

Police will be required to filed charges if they witnessed the hammer beating. Not up to Paul Pelosi.
