WASHINGTON — The Justice Department on Monday filed two charges in federal court against the suspect in Friday’s brutal attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

The complaint alleged that DePape was attempting to kidnap the House speaker when he broke into the San Francisco residence, not realizing that she was in Washington, D.C., and only her husband, Paul Pelosi, 82, was home.

"Pelosi was asleep when DePape came into Pelosi’s bedroom and stated he wanted to talk to 'Nancy.' When Pelosi told him that Nancy was not there, DePape stated that he would sit and wait," the complaint said. The complaint says Paul Pelosi called authorities from the bathroom.

During an interview police conducted on the day of the attack, DePape said, "He was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her."

"If Nancy were to tell DePape the 'truth,' he would let her go, and if she 'lied,' he was going to break 'her kneecaps'" investigators said in the complaint.

The suspect also told investigators that "by breaking Nancy's kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions."

The complaint said DePape told police that "he wanted to use Nancy to lure another individual" to him, but the complaint didn't identify that person.

On Saturday, law enforcement determined that DePape had been living for the last two years in the garage of a residence in Richmond, Calif., just outside of San Francisco. In the garage, "among other things, agents seized two hammers, a sword, and a pair of rubber and cloth gloves," the complaint said.

The officers spent a good amount of time just “observing the two men inside”.

Those officers are about to become very, very rich. And very, very quiet.

So now the FBI is providing the BS. Amazing how they are getting this out in plenty of time to affect the mid terms when investigations by justice usually takes months

A few hours pass and they already know everything about this nut and what motivated him. The vegas shooter, on the other hand ....

S.F.P.D. did release 911 call info that Paul Pelosi himself said "His name is David, and he is a friend."

Amazing how quickly that went from an acknowledgemt of a some one he knew to the genius of Pelosi speaking "code" to the 9-11 OP.

At this rate, he can get himself a job as a Navajo code talker

Gotta keep him in isolation. No talking to the public or media. He will be dead by Thanksgiving.

Held in the Epstein Wing of the jail?

So many strange acts and lack of action by the police and security at the scene. From the FBI investigator's written charges

Pelosi greeted the officers. The officers asked them what was going on. DEPAPE responded that everything was good. Officers then asked Pelosi and DEPAPE to drop the hammer. DEPAPE pulled the hammer from Pelosi’s hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head. Officers immediately went inside and were able to restrain DEPAPE.

SFPD Officer Colby Wilmes was able to interview a witness, Witness 1, who saw an individual in all black, carrying a large black bag on his back, walking near the Pelosi residence where Witness 1 was parked. Witness 1 was working private security at an address nearby. Witness 1 then heard what sounded like banging on either a door or car and then heard the sirens within a minute or two

Why wasn't Paul Pelosi pulled aside by the cops? Why did they let him stand inside where Depape could still harm him? What kind of security wouldn't alert the authorities that a man dressed all in black with a backpack was approaching Pelosi's home?

It’s as if there is a fixer for the Pelosi’s who made sure DePage’s entire social media history was erased within minutes. And phony blogs sites were registered in his name after his arrest.

....... Sadly you are probably correct ... If not sooner. He cannot be allowed to talk.. It's the Democrat way..... Protect the Narrative at all costs ....

Paul Pelosi was caught on a hot Mic saying, tell David I’ll have more flexibility to tell the truth, after the Election.

There are plenty of likely suspects for that, including the FBI.

The Paul Pelosi Halloween costume making the internet rounds is absolutely hysterical.

So if that is the case there should be security footage, and also Nancy Pelosi is 3rd in line for the presidency they have NO security at her house, NONE..am I supposed to believe that

It doesn't matter.

The security footage when released will show exactly what the Pelosis want you to see and SF law enforcement will back them up.

The Pelosis aren't amatuers.

This story will get listed as a right-wing hate attack and nothing will ever come along to change the narrative.

Even Elon Musk wised up yesterday and deleted his tweet.

Area security and traffic cameras will show no evidence of the place and time of the :assailant” approaching the Pelosi residence. He was a guest.

Kidnapping?
Where was the get away vehicle?
How did he even get to the residence? Did he walk from Berkeley in his Fruit of the Looms..across the Bay Bridge to the Presidio?
Where is his attorney stating, “No comment”...
And on...and on.
