break her kneecaps. john berman here in for anderson. those words from a federal criminal complaint spell out an attempt to take house speaker nancy pelosi captive, interrogate her and beat her savagely if the answers did not come out right, which the suspect, one david depape, considered a certainty. late today we saw separate state charges, including attempted murder. more on that shortly. stop at think about what s already on the table. according to federal authorities who have now charged him with an assault on paul pelosi and attempted kidnapping of nancy pelosi, this man says he wants to break the kneecaps of an 82-year-old woman and do it to make a political point. quoting again from the filing, in the course of the interview, depape articulated that he viewed nancy as the leader of the pack of lies told by the democratic party. the document goes on in graphic detail about what the suspect said he intended. the bottom line is simple enough. according to the suspect him
