^^^^^^^^^^^
It is a MILITARY prison, not a federal prison. Just like Leavenworth. People get that confused all the time. There is also Leavenworth USP, a federal prison. Different rules, administration etc.

It applies if the assault on family is because or on account of the the official's government duties (example: you're unhappy that the BOP correctional officer tossed your cell and charged you with contraband, you have your "people" on the outside drive by and threaten the officer's wife.) It was never intended to be a catch-all, some-pigs-are-more-equal protection against ALL crimes, just those motivated by official duties.
Not sure that they can tie it together here, but hey, who I am to doubt the eff-bee-eye...

Well, in their defense the job is a whole lot harder than it used to be. The plain truth is so wild these days satire has got to be hard to write.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." November 01, 2022, 04:27 PM

Better reread the laws on that crime.
Neither element of Kidnapping was present. Nor did the suspect have the means or opportunity to satisfy either element.

n an interview with Field & Stream magazine on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden once again touted shotguns as the best weapon for self-defense, offering advice similar to the questionable instructions he gave during a Facebook town hall last week.
During that interview, Biden explained his suggestion to his wife Jill for handling an intruder.
“If there’s ever a problem,” Biden said he told his wife, “just walk out on the balcony here— walk out, put that double barrel shot gun and fire two blasts outside the house.”
The problem with Biden’s advice is that it would empty the shotgun and possibly get the shooter in trouble with the law.

sdyI read that Depape also faces state charges of attempted homicide, first-degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with serious bodily injury, elder abuse, threatening a public official, or family member, battery with serious bodily injury, injuring a wireless communications device, dissuading a witness from reporting a crime, and two unnamed felonies described as “code not listed in table – felony
I especially like "injuring a wireless communications device"

No, quite the opposite! At least according to the police.

I really want to see this go to trial, and my WAG is that the defendant (being a hippie of long standing) is more interested in courtroom street theater than making this all go away. Having said that, the fact that the Feds have stepped in does leave me wondering whether the slew of charges is meant to convince the guy that he'd be better off accepting a quiet deportation back to Canada than he would be if he went to court.

PeteFBoy those cameras sure ain't what they used to be. I guess they forgot to use the record feature also.

"When going through surveillance footage, the officer saw the alleged attack on Oct. 28, when DePape allegedly struck Paul Pelosi, people briefed on the incident said, according to the report."
Apparently they do have a recording of the event. I'm curious the angle though and how he was able to see the attack if I'm assuming this is an outside camera.

IronbuttIt's been five days and we still don't know what happened. Evidently they still need more time to come up with a believable scenario.
