See people would have you believing that this kind of thing is impossible.
Look what just one person can do.
Maybe I'll change my mine on the whole "We the people" BS when more people actually band together and start putting some real fear into politicians.

Here we go. Protection is only extended to family members if the Capitol Police Board deems it necessary. If they had not received any credible threats directed towards Paul, there would be no reason for him to be provided a detail.
2 U.S. Code § 1966 - Protection of Members of Congress, officers of Congress, and members of their families
Staff for then-Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn confirmed in that same Roll Call story that the Texas Republican had a five-person security detail in 2017. Similar media reports say that full-time congressional security details are limited to the speaker, House and Senate majority and minority leaders, and House and Senate whips.
Financial records filed by the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund PAC show that the fundraising committee paid nearly $4,000 to private security firm Safehouse Security Solutions this spring.
Pelosi's office did not respond to requests for comment about any outside security arrangements the speaker has used in the past or might be employing right now.

Friday news dump
Releasing bad news or documents on a Friday afternoon in an attempt to avoid media scrutiny is often called a “Friday news dump” by members of the media.
NPR: “Often, the White House sets the release of bad news and unflattering documents to late Friday afternoon. The Pentagon and other agencies also use the practice, a legacy of earlier administrations.”
The television show The West Wing had an episode on the technique called, “Take Out the Trash Day.”

Sorry to say, but I believe the whole assault crap is a hoax, a democrat's hoax, go figure the purpose of it, but like I say before we will find out soon enough.
If that was just a hoax, then shame on Pertusi, they really are desperate looking for sympathies.

What, when a nutcase invades your home intent on violence?
And you're whingeing about a hammer?
But if he had an Assault Rifle and shot him dead then that would be fine?

The fact that DePape was apprehended at the house would indicate that any kind of security system was not turned off.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Paul Pelosi “has a net worth of $120 million.”
The site says that Pelosi “is best known for owning and operating the San Francisco-based real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm Financial Leasing Services.”
He once owned a United Football League team. He “sits on many corporate and philanthropic boards and owns large stakes in companies like Facebook, Apple, Comcast and Disney,” Celebrity Net Worth reported.
