Normally, I would wait until the dust had a chance to settle before writing about current events, but the 'Paul Pelosi affair' is too weird to admit of any more than a single explanation.
To recap the events: Paul Pelosi, husband of the Speaker of the House, called 9-1-1 at 2am to report an intruder that
- he didn't know
- named 'David'
- who was 'a friend'
according to the 9-1-1 dispatcher. SFPD responded in record-short-time and were admitted by an unidentified third person, found Paul and 'David', both in a state of undress, struggling over possession of a hammer, ordered the two men to drop the hammer — which Paul Pelosi did — upon which, David smacked Paul in the head with the hammer. SFPD then took David into custody and called EMTs for Paul. Initial reports were that David broke into the house by smashing a window in and demanded to know "Where's Nancy?"
What's weird about this tale is that the house in question is the residence of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the person third in line to the Presidency, and that it was (we are told) broken into. Further, Paul Pelosi didn't know the intruder except that he was named David and was a friend. The window was, by photographic evidence, smashed out, not in because the glass shards were on the outside. SFPD was on the scene in two shakes of a lamb's tail. This scenario does not pass the 'smell test'.
I estimate that there is approximately a zero percent chance that this house is not guarded every minute of every day from January 1st to December 31st inclusive — by SFPD. In other words, nobody was inside that house absent an invitation. David could not have gained entry whether in his underwear or otherwise without passing an SFPD sentry. David could not have smashed a window in without alerting one of the policemen on guard. When alerted by dispatch, SFPD was already on the scene. Therefore, David had been invited in, and SFPD knew he was there.
Period.
Paul Pelosi, rumors say, has been spotted at gay bars downtown on numerous occasions. David was thus not just 'a friend'. David was a male prostitute, and Nancy's hubby is gay.
Talk about "an October surprise"!

ReplyDeleteInteresting. I estimate that there is approximately a zero percent chance that this house is substantially "guarded" by SFPD at all.
Harmeet Dhillon said that at several Pelosi properties where she tried to serve subpoenae she or her agents had to contend with "law enforcement" before serving papers upon 'staff'. That's first-person or second-person experience arrayed against your speculation. Which of these would you choose to believe?
