"Video Footage of Attack on Paul Pelosi Shown at San Francisco Hearing."

The NYT reports. 

Arriving at the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, two officers find an intruder and Ms. Pelosi’s husband, Paul, standing calmly, each with a hand on a hammer that the police demand they drop. Just then, the video shows, the intruder takes control, wields the weapon over his head and slams it with full force....

Prosecutors presented the fullest account to date of what they say happened during the attack, and shared much of their evidence against the suspect, including the body-camera footage.

[David] DePape, 42, said in a police interview hours after the attack that he had other targets, including Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California; the actor Tom Hanks; Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden; and the feminist writer and anthropologist Gayle Rubin, according to testimony on Wednesday. ..

Prosecutors during the hearing also played an audio recording of the interview that Mr. DePape gave to the police. In it, he admitted to busting into the Pelosi home in the upscale Pacific Heights neighborhood through a back door, on a mission to capture the House speaker, interrogate her and break her kneecaps if she “lied” to him....

I'm surprised to see the NYT using "busting" — not in quotes, but in the paper's voice — instead of "breaking." (I was just talking about how Breitbart is to trashy for my taste, and here I am, in a place I regard as reasonably elevated and dignified, and here's this "busting," like the night's busting open and these two lanes will take us anywhere.)

Back to the Pelosi incident: 

The hearing began with prosecutors playing a recording of a call that Mr. Pelosi made to 911 shortly after the intruder woke him up. During the call, Mr. Pelosi speaks calmly but emphatically, seemingly trying to convey to the operator that he is in danger but without alarming the intruder threatening his life. Mr. Pelosi said on the call that there was “a gentleman here waiting for my wife to come back.”

He told the operator who his wife was, and at one point the intruder in the background could be heard saying, “The name is David.”

Too, not to. Constant lies and partisanship is "elevated and dignified" huh?

How come the worst is always assumed of actors and institutions on the Right, yet the best is assumed of actors and institutions on the Left?

More "cruel neutrality"?

Methinks Althouse remembers the old days when NYT had an ombudsman and sincerely 'tried' to be the Paper of Record. That goal fully dissolved with anti-Trump propaganda and the disposals of James Bennet and Bari Weiss in 2020. Old-line news vendors struggled and as most readers/paying subscribers became cheerleaders and blind partisans rather than elevated or dignified. The current readers likely say 'busting'...so are they trashy too?

Watch Idiocracy (2006) to understand what has become of the culture. And to also learn about the potential for time travel to the past.

Nothing there to support Readering's and Inga's comments yesterday. I was expecting more pro-Trump stuff.

The police ordered the two men to drop the hammer. One did and the other took the opportunity to bash him. I wonder if the police feel bad about their role in Pelosi's injuries.

Tom T. বলেছেন...

This doesn't explain how Depape actually got in. One obvious possible inference is that they avoided the use of "breaking" because they know something they're not sharing, and Depape did not in fact break in. I'm not saying Pelosi invited him over, as some have suggested, but perhaps Pelosi answered the door when Depape knocked, and Depape "busted" (or bustled) past him.

So they hired Jussie Smollet to stage the attack?

I haven't seen the video come out to the public yet. NBC scrubbed a report where they accidentally let some facts slip like that Pelosi opened the door for police then walked back to DePape.

How convenient that they waited for the police to get there. Everything was calm until the police got there.

Of course.

A Full force with a hammer to the head means death for someone of Pelosi's age.

This is a hoax from start to finish.

Was the video footage actually shown to the jury and public? If I recall correctly, I read yesterday that the monitor was facing the witness, who was questioned about what was happening, but that no one else could actually see the video, but could only hear the sound.

If the video was shown to the entire court, why do we have no stills from it, or even video feeds. Is it not now a public record?

M বলেছেন...

Who let the police in? If Paul let them in as has been reported how was he holding the hammer? Were both men by the door holding a hammer together? Strange they didn’t mention any of that which has been the big question in the general public’s mind.

I think the Times just didn't want to use "breaking" twice in the same sentence (breaking in and breaking kneecaps). Was it here there was a whole thread about avoiding second-uses, or not?

I can't believe the attacker didn't bring his MAGA hat, his "noose", his bleach, at least 1 subway sandwich and wasn't drilled enough to know to shout "this is MAGA country!" when confronted.

Astonishing oversight on his part. Well, I guess when you are a hippie commune dwelling lefty activist from Berkeley you aren't always up to speed on what gear the fake "MAGA" type is supposed to carry around and what the fake "MAGA" shouting protocols should be.

I'd personally cut this guy some slack on that small point.

Well, this is what happens when you’re a bunch of scumbag liars.

But you will not be accepted by the cool kids if you say obvious truths out loud. So you take the NYT's and the mainstream media at face value. You have to to be accepted.

The price of acceptance is sacrificing personal honor and integrity. The Regime is purposely trying to grind down the self worth of the people it rules. They force you to accept obvious lies and they force you to repeat dishonesty and obvious amorality.

The resident dullard is unhappy that the Covid plan was called by some a "Hoax. That depends a bit on your definition of hoax. The Reischtag fire was a hoax with a purpose. so was this event. The motive is still a bit hazy. There may have been a couple. One, the actions of Fauci, et all were to control the population by hysteria. The Chinese motives are still a mystery. Was this bio-war #1 ? Maybe a test ?

The source of the SARS 2 virus is now pretty well established as the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was apparently working on it in a setting, Level 2 biohazard, which was dangerous and maybe on purpose. The funding was coming from the USA via a couple of "plausibly deniable" contracts with anonymous contractors. In the intelligence world they are called "cutouts."

Those of us not in Wisconsin and dull are assuming that the Biden Regime is a Chinese agent. Aside from the lethal virus and the dangerous "vaccine," what other things are going on that might help China ? Open borders and a flood of illegal peasants who will be government dependent for a generation is one. Another is the war on energy. Another is the debasing of the currency. Another is the proxy, and maybe hot, war with Russia.

Though I loathe his wife, it sounds as if the elderly Mr. Pelosi did a brave and smart job of controlling a deranged intruder. He kept him talking; convinced him to let him call 911, and 911 was competent too.

There's a classified type -- called disorganized offender -- who behaves like this. It's not that unusual that he agreed to a phone call and even offered his name. So I don't see anything nefarious about the account t of the crime itself, and Pelosi should be admired for using his wits. The only question: how did the police get in?

The Times, on the other hand, repulsively conflated the actions of this nutcase with an entire political movement, did what they could to downplay and misrepresent his longtime affiliation with radical leftism and drug abuse, and have demonstrated gross bias in their treatment of this crime compared to even more violent assaults by leftists on Republicans, not to mention their decades of pandering to cop killers and their celebration of the violent riots and mass destruction by thousands of coordinated leftist criminals for the past decade -- and decades before it.

That's not classy, and it is only sophisticated in the sense that it is sophisticated propaganda. in fact, its presentation and prestige only makes such behavior more disturbing.

Just for Inga: Here is a retired foreign service officer's opinion on the Covid "Hoax."

COVID, as we now can all clearly see, was a hyped-up "crisis" used to shut down the booming economy--Trump's major achievement--and facilitate bizarre rules on voting to allow the DNC to engage more easily in massive fraud. COVID was a tough one for Trump: a lose-lose. The CDC, NIAID, and the rest of the federal health bureaucracy detested Trump and happily collaborated in feeding the public a scare that was not merited, to say the least. If Trump defied them, the CNN "death clock" would have gone nuts, and he would have been labelled a mass murderer; if he went along, as he did, he destroyed the economy, increased the power of the permanent bureaucracy, including their power to silence those who knew better. A total disaster.

Pretty much my opinion, too.

The NYT and the MSM have a well deserved reputation for covering up for the Liberal/left and lying about conservative and Republicans. Especially Trump. For example, has the NYT's ever backed off its false "reported fact" that J6 protesters killed several policeman? If they have, it was in very small print, way after the event.

If the hammer was on the other foot, if this was MTG's husband or involved Trump or Cruz, the entire MSM would be expressing scepticism and demanding to see the police cam footage and hear the 911 tape. But because Pelosi is a powerful Democrat, why we mustn't be nosey nellies and simply accept everything given to us.

Sorry no can do. Pelosi and the MSM made this a frontpage story because they thought it would help the D's. I don't believe anything the NYT's or the Leftwing SF D/A says without proof. I'm almost certai they're hiding something, and if Pelosi's husband likes to have sex with young men, they should be honest about it.

John Boehner attends the unveiling of Nancy Pelosi's official portrait, talks about how wonderful his daughters think she is, and cries.

Pelosi arrogantly tells some reporter not to bother her with questions about whether she'll serve out her term.

But it's the Republicans who are the evil servants of the privileged.

"Those of us in Wisconsin and the rest of the country who are not senile or a loon, think this is an example of runaway conspiracy theory addiction."

Hey, I hear from Achilles that you are a good little German and I’m an amoral shell of a human being.

Freeman @ 11:34am,

Who is the "they" in your statement?

I would expect politicians, if they were concerned about their security, would hire whatever services they thought they needed. And to make the implication clear, no I do not think they are entitled to any more security than the lowliest person in the country.

“Here is a retired foreign service officer's opinion on the Covid "Hoax."”

Good grief, I’m supposed to take your word that this “foreign service officer” you quote is really a foreign service officer and not just another right wing nutter like yourself? No attribution or cite except for what you’ve claimed this person said. Sheesh, that is just stupid.

"Though I loathe his wife, it sounds as if the elderly Mr. Pelosi did a brave and smart job of controlling a deranged intruder."

This. One can intensely dislike the actions of a politician without believing wild conspiracy theories about a crime committed against the politician's spouse. Did the media play it in a partisan way? Of course they did. That's all they do. They wouldn't even know how to write an article without doing it.

Yeah.

He opened the door for police.

Then Pelosi walked back to Depape and tried to calm him down.

That's what I would do when after I spent hours trying to calm someone down before the police came. I would open the door for the police, then walk back to the crazy person with a hammer.

Totally.

Where is the video? I heard it was released? How come I can't find this video?

Why are you bringing up your doubling and tripling down on the hoax collusion and hoax dossier in this thread?

Try and stay on point.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

So NOW, after 6 years, you have become a "stickler" for attributions and cites?

How could it possibly get any funnier than that?

Here is Michael K’s foreign service officer. No wonder he didn’t leave a link to a cite. Thanks to Kirk Parker for pointing to the guy Michael K was trying to suggest had some credibility regarding a Covid “hoax”. This is what Amselem did as a foreign service officer. Someone Michael K holds in high regard apparently.

Hillary Aide Talks About Animal Sacrifice to Demon Moloch in WikiLeaks Email

Oh boy here is a bit more about Michael K’s foreign service officer he was so taken with, sorry I’m finding it pretty funny.

“The latest is a very strange email from one of Hillary’s State Department Foreign Service officers named W. Lewis Amselem, in which he, jokingly or not, made mention of “sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch” — a demon to whom child sacrifices are offered.

W. Lewis Amselem is now a retired senior U.S. Foreign Service officer. In 2009 when he wrote that email, Amselem was the head of the U.S. delegation to the Organization of American States (OAS). It is said that Amselem had concealed the identities of individuals, one of whom was a U.S. national, who in 1989 kidnapped, tortured and raped Diana Ortiz, an American nun in Guatemala.”

And to be very clear before anyone accuses me of finding the story funny of the American nun being tortured and raped by American backed Guatemalan Security Forces led by the American guy they called “boss”, no. What is funny and pathetic is that Michael K who calls others dullard, so freely put his faith in this scum of a retired foreign service officer who smeared the nun, spread rumors about her, and covered up the fact that Americans were actively leading these Guatemalan Security Forces and their torture/murder squads, because Amselem speaks about a “Covid hoax”. People should read the account of this American nun and how Amselem treated her. THAT is the sort of human Michael K quotes as if he has the truth. That man lied about a nun who was raped and tortured.
