A new NBC Bay Area report about the assault on Paul Pelosi last month includes several of the same details in NBC News’ retracted national report that suggested Pelosi may not have been in immediate danger when police arrived prior to his attack.
NBC News national correspondent Miguel Almaguer reported on Nov. 4 for “Today” that police didn’t know they were responding to the Pelosi residence, Pelosi opened the door for police but didn’t attempt to escape or declare an emergency, and even walked away from law enforcement and toward his eventual attacker.
Almaguer’s report was erased from all NBC News platforms later in the day. It was scrubbed from social media, and NBC News issued an editor’s note on its website, reading, “This piece has been removed from publication because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards.”
However, a local NBC reporter’s similar story was not retracted and remained online as of Wednesday morning.
Last Friday, exactly one week after Almaguer’s report was mysteriously retracted with little public detail, NBC’s San Francisco local affiliate KNTV, which is branded as NBC Bay Area, aired an explosive report with highly similar details indicating Pelosi opened the door for police and didn’t immediately attempt to escape.
Anchor Jessica Aguirre told viewers the NBC Bay Area investigative team “looked into why state and federal prosecutors each describe one specific detail of the police response differently,” before tossing it to reporter Bigad Shaban.
“This all has to do with the moments, seconds really, just before Paul Pelosi was struck in the head with a hammer inside his San Francisco home. Now, there continues to be contradicting accounts of a relatively simple question,” Shaban told viewers. “Who opened the door that night when San Francisco police arrived to the Pelosi house?”
Shaban explained that a federal indictment indicates “two officers” opened the door, but the San Francisco District Attorney’s office had previously stated, “Mr. Pelosi opened the door with his left hand.”
……”The body cam video shows officers having a brief conversation with Pelosi and David DePape… before DePape starts beating Pelosi with a hammer,” Shaban reported. “We reached out to the Department of Justice for an explanation of its differing account of this seemingly innocuous issue of who opened the door, but so far, we have not heard back.”
If Paulie P’s story were true, the security and body cam footage would have been released already and CNN would be playing it non-stop.
There’s a lot of strange shit surrounding this incident; none of which will be answered by the Pelosi’s or their media hacks. It smells like an Ed Buck episode.
It doesn’t take a ‘conspiracy theorist’ to realize the entire episode stinks.
If there’s any connection between Paulie and Depape, Nancy will make it disappear, just like the DUI with the Porsche.
