For once, it seemed like we were finally getting some truthful reporting on the Pelosi attack.
NBC News national correspondent Miguel Almaguer filed a report that hinted at possible salacious activity.
Not long after the report was filed, however, it was removed from the website.
What the…
Before you hear the NBC News report, keep in mind that the suspect. David DePape, was only in his underwear when authorities arrived at the Pelosi house.
Almaguer reported, “Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the ‘high priority call,’ they were seemingly unaware they’ve been called to the home of the Speaker of the House.
“After a ‘knock and announce,’ the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi.
“The 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police.
“It’s unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was, say sources.
“According to court documents, when the officer asked what was going on, defendant smiled and said ‘everything’s good’ but instantaneously a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David DePape strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer.
“After tackling the suspect, officers rushed to Mr. Pelosi who was lying in a pool of blood.”
Then he made a statement that really got me thinking, stating, “We still don’t know exactly what unfolded between Mr. Pelosi and the suspect for the 30 minutes they were alone inside that house before police arrive.
“Officials who are investigating this matter would not go into further details about these new details.”
Not long after the report was filed, NBC News removed it and only stated that the story did not meet its reporting standards and never should have been aired.
The network did not cite exactly what standards it violated.
One more thing to consider… the San Francisco police are not releasing the the bodycam footage of officers who arrived on the scene.
Add that to the report, and the suspect is his underwear, and I think the question that needs to be asked is pretty obvious.
