Rand Paul's New Hampshire Campaign Office Burglarized, Computers Stolen
UPI reports a burglary at Sen. Rand Paul's New Hampshire campaign office:
Michael Biundo, national adviser for Paul's campaign, tweeted in the morning about the break-in.
"Going to Iowa today for the final caucus push and now I am dealing with our New Hampshire for .@RandPaul office being broken into," he wrote, though didn't specify what, if anything, was taken.
Manchester police confirmed reports of a burglary at the office, but said a full report would not be available until at least Thursday.
Brandon Ross, a local attorney and volunteer with the Paul campaign, told Truth In Media that other businesses in the same building reported attempted burglaries earlier in the week.
Matt Chisholm, Paul's New Hampshire communications director, claimed that the items stolen included "four iPads, two laptop computers, two cell phones and some other small electronic devices, including cameras and headphones."
Paul's campaign had not yet responded for a request for comment or context as of time of posting. Will update if they do.

Sounds like a standard burglary.
I hope they were smart enough to have the iPad lo-jack feature enabled.

Yes, that does sound like a standard burglary perpetrated by standard, financially motivated burglars.
But then if I was a Watergate "plumber" type burglar, I'd probably do something like that to make it look like a standard burglary instead of a politically motivated crime.

Libertarian-types can't complain about burglaries because what do you expect in Somalitopia?

I was thinking the same thing.
*also adjusts tin-foil hat*
My guess: those free state Keene Robin Hood people did it.
Don't you have to steal things to get your drugs in a libertopia? I mean with no roads and bridges and all.
Probably #BernVictims trying to spread the wealth.
Instead of H2O-gate, it's NH3-gate?

Why does anyone need 4 iPdas, 2 laptops....

You don't necessarily need electricity when kids are hungry in this country.

Well, there's your fucking problem. Why don't you just set up shop in an abandoned crackhouse while you're at it!
Maybe this was some Watergate style break in but I doubt it. It was probably a poorly secured office in the ghetto and someone helped themselves. Sucks and I hope they catch who did it but these things happen.
Yes. It's two or three blocks away from Victory Park, which is like Junkie Grand Central Station.
I haven't been in Manchester in like 12 years, but I don't remember it having sections like that then. I blame you.
What do expect with a bunch of "free state project" nutters moving in, turning it into North Somalia. /sarc
NH should give him the top spot as penance.
Isn't Paul the only one that didn't enter into the data sharing agreement with the RNC? It's Tricky Dick from beyond the grave!
Paul's campaign officials also should be on the lookout for trivial items stolen like letterhead. Writing fake embarrassing letters on official letterhead is a classic "dirty trick" used by the Nixon Administration (why they broke into Watergate) and, earlier, by the FBI and CIA to "neutralize" radicals.
"Letterhead." That's so quaint. Unless it's embossed or uses gold ink (etc) I can do something totally official looking in about fifteen minutes with a word processor and laser printer. And if I have even a single sheet, such as in a mailing, I can do as good as the original.
You still wear an onion on your belt, don't you?
As is the fashion.
A yellow onion, not a white one, on account of the Kaiser.
That explains why he asked me to give him five bees for a quarter.

For the Paul campaign?

So...Illuminati?
EBAY
RANDGATE!
Or is it...
MANCHESTERGATE!
HATE CRIME!
Seriously,
Imagine if this had been Hillary's offices that were broken into. MSNBC would be demanding every GOP Presidential Candidate be indicted by the close of business.
Yep.
Well, after all of the 'fake' scandals against Hillary, totally made up by the GOP, can you blame her? After all, every secretary of state since Jefferson has had their own private server. At least that's what a prog acquaintance told me.
I told you to stay out of the debate./ Trump's hair
This Trump guy is an asshole. Trump's hair, however, seems to have some real potential.
Did they steal Rand's mojo? Oh yeah, I forgot, even Rand himself can't find it.
What retard leaves iPads, cellphones, laptops, etc in a rented campaign office in a bad part of town?
The retard that didn't pay for the IPads, cellphones, laptops, etc.
You're probably not allowed to bring it home.
The verb "burgle" is just a fun word, perhaps because it's not frequently used. "Burglary", on the other hand, is not.
Bunch of savages in this town.
So where was G Gordon Liddy while this was going on?
Where in hell is he when you need him?
