Finally a sentence that makes some sense.

But, honestly, based on what DePape told police--that he was on "a suicide mission" and wanted to take Nancy Pelosi hostage, question her, and break her kneecaps if she lied--unless psychiatrists clear him in 30 yrs... he should remain in prison. There is no way society is safe with someone like that free.

I mean, just looking at him he’s in his 40s? Doesn’t federal time have very little time reduction for good behavior, so he’ll be close to 70? He may just die behind bars lol.

He’ll probably be out on parole in 15 years or less.

Federal sentences require at least 4/5 of the sentence to be served. So for 30 years, he’d be eligible in ~24 years. Unless the grand Cheeto gets elected again, and pardons him.
