Fed criminal complaint in the Pelosi attack:
@LisaDNews
Federal prosecutors: - This was an attempt at seizing or kidnapping
@SpeakerPelosi
- Depape had zip ties, tape, rope and at least one hammer. - After a struggle over it, Depape swung a hammer into Paul Pelosi's head and per officers knocked him unconscious.
- Paul Pelosi was asleep when David Depape came into his room and said he wanted to talk to "Nancy". - Paul said she was not there. Depape said he would sit and wait. - Paul Pelosi was able to go into the bathroom and then call 911.
- "Depape stated that he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her" - If she told the truth, he would let her go. - If she lied, he would break "her kneecaps
- Depape said he saw Nancy Pelosi as the "leader of the pack" of lies told by the Democratic Party. - He said if he broke her kneecaps she would have to be wheeled into Congress and that would show others there are consequences for actions
Depape said he wanted to tie up Paul Pelosi so he (Depape) could sleep. He started taking out twist ties (how prosecutors describe)from his pocket to tie up Pelosi. - After this is when Pelosi made it to a bathroom and grabbed his cell phone.
"Depape explained that he did not leave after Pelosi’s call to 9-1-1 because, much like the American founding fathers with the British, he was fighting against tyranny without the option of surrender"
"In addition, law enforcement searched Depape’s backpack at the Pelosi residence, and they found, among other things, a roll of tape, white rope, one hammer, one pair of rubber and cloth gloves, and a journal"
