So it wasn’t a gay hookup after all?
(I’m being sarcastic, of course.)
The man convicted of plotting to kidnap then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and bludgeoning her husband, Paul, in the head with a hammer at their San Francisco home has once again been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison over the 2022 attack.
A judge’s error had thrown the federal case into disarray after defendant David DePape’s attorneys said the court violated his rights when he wasn’t given a chance to speak to the court at his May 17 sentencing. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley offered DePape a do-over to speak to the court while she denied his attorneys’ requests to send the case to another judge.

He was convicted of federal laws related to assault an attempted kidnapping of federal officials, so the penalty is higher due to the political objective.
Last week a man in New York who attacked three cops with a machete got 27 years. Similar crime, similar result.
The question you should ask is why are the Jan 6 attackers getting off so easily?
PP here. Thanks for helpful clarification about the federal laws and Paul Pelosi's attacker. Glad about the machete ctiminal. Too many others are back on the streets to repeat violent crimes. The Jan. 6th folks are getting off way too easily.
Like in Texas where they let murderers go free so long as the victim is an uppity black guy.
