Have to believe it is possible. I saw no pictures or body cam.
@Swoop62 Why would Pelosi or DePape have a body cam? Do you wear a body cam when you're home by yourself? And what pictures are you talking about? They didn't have a photographer present, must be a plot.

[@LeopoldBloom Maybe you forgot that policemen wear body cams? And they were there when the guy struck with the hammer. Then most often they take a photo of the injuries at the hospital so they have evidence for a trial.
@Swoop62 Since it will be used as evidence at trial, why would they release it to the public now and taint the jury pool? It's standard procedure to not release evidence. Instead, the police have issued updates. If you don't believe them, that's on you. There are still people who think OJ is innocent.

@LeopoldBloom They release body cams all the time as in the next day I have seen those. And you said there was none. And have seen the injured in photos as well. I don't have a belief it is one way or the other but am skeptical of what they have said and shown. And great, I can believe what i want as most dems I message with if I don't sgree with them, they just call names.
@Swoop62 They release body cam footage in some cases. They don't release it automatically, especially if it can be used as evidence in court. But if you're interested, call the SF police department and put in a request for the official report of the incident, along with any photographs or videos. I've done this several times with my local police department. If you're too lazy to do that, don't complain because they're not doing your job for you.

@LeopoldBloom I have seen plenty of those video cams right after the event. But I actually this is not a priority as you seem to think I have. I have my suspicions that there is more than being told or shown but lots of things are like that and I don't care enough to play Columbo on this.
@Swoop62 I don't buy into wackjob conspiracies without evidence. You're just speculating because you think there are some irregularities, which could mean nothing. This is a high profile case, and releasing video evidence could taint the jury pool.

Even assuming the attack was staged, it didn't benefit Pelosi or the Democrats. So why bring up any extraneous speculation? I could just as easily say that Kevin McCarthy hired DePape to attack Pelosi because he didn't want her to be minority leader and would prefer to deal with a less experienced replacement.

@LeopoldBloom Well , you just go ahead and believe what you want about that or McCarthy or anything else. Could not care less what you believe but for some reason you are a typical Dem in it is agree with you or its wrong. I shall believe and speculate what I want. So just keep on preaching your agenda and has no effect on my thinking.
@Swoop62 Again, I base my beliefs on evidence, not speculation. There's an old saying in medicine, when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. The simplest and most logical explanation is that DePape was a nutjob who wanted to attack Nancy, and when she wasn't there, he attacked her husband. Anything else is just making stuff up.

@LeopoldBloom Sure, see things however you choose, but for some reason you think I have to automatically fall in the same thought pattern. You seem to think that we all have to use the same logic you do with no suspicion. So, you are wasting your time if you think you can beat me down with how you see things and get me to agree. This is my last answer as all is a waste of time over something I care very little about but do have my view which I am entitled to whether you think so or not.
@Swoop62 It's not logic, it's opinion. I'm not going to assume there's some conspiracy without evidence of one.
