Democrat Dodd's office burglarized (by homeless man)

[Doctor_J]

Source: Yahoo

Gilbert Soto, 48, who lives in a city shelter and has a lengthy arrest record, allegedly took a television, computer and other items from Dodd's Senate district office, police said Monday.

"It does not appear right now that he knew he was breaking into a presidential candidate's office or that there was any political motivation," Assistant Police Chief Neil Dryfe said.

Officers recovered the stolen television and computer Monday after Soto took them to the spots where he allegedly sold the items, police said.

1. Hmm is right....

"Pssst. Hey buddy, wanna make yourself a few bucks? See that office there across the street? Break into it and steal some stuff would ya? Oh, and if you get caught, my name is not Karl and you never talked to me. Got it?"

2. Tinfoil worthy?

not unheard of to pay homeless people to do dirty work.

7. Dodd was a sponsor of HAVA...(Abromoff,Ney,CNP,vote rigging)

Dodd was a sponsor of HAVA...(Abromoff,Ney,CNP,vote rigging)

Just saying..

found this post in my Journal..(which I have ignored for some time)

It was back in November 2005, at the breaking of the Abromoff scandal..I read through the postings in this past thread and was amazed at how we DUers linked together the Abromoff,Ney, Diebold,vote scandal, HAVA = Help America Vote Act..designed to replace the old voting system with an easier electronic one.
This was the origin of vote rigging via DIEBOLD & ES&S..
Dodd was also a sponsor of HAVA wich causes some concern of taint.

This is the link to the 2005 posting. Read #9, & 11, 26 etc. which speaks of Dodd, though brief..I am reminded just how dirty the Bush cabal operated. Also how much more we know now than we did back then.
Maybe this has something to do with the BREAK-IN of Dodds Office.
(maybe its just a theory)

I am always suspicious when these people are involved in anything reported in a simple and innocent form. Always suspicious.
What's your tinfoil take on this theory..hmmm?

10. Weren't homeless/jobless people used in the voter reg scam? n/t

[Blaze Diem]

13. believe so, but what would someone be looking for in Dodds

Senate Office..maybe something was 'planted' there and we'll hear about this shortly. Maybe to silence him? a warning?

I'm curious about Abromoff, Ney and what incriminating dirt connects them to Dodd..if any.. and if this has anything to do with HAVA.

---------
Maybe Dodd thinks he'll be the next President for supporting HAVA? ha

many were disinfranchised..and many more will be this next year's election, if BushCo has anything to say about it.
I do believe they are already working on the vote rigging of 2008.
We haven't seen the last of these people.

What I do know is that Dodd is connected to vote rigging in some fashion.

11. Who would pay to sabotage a campaign that isn't going anywhere?

:shrug:

[Blaze Diem]

15. Maybe not to sabatoge but to silence or for revenge or to

send someone a sign of sorts, like the "aspens turning 'thing,
One neveer knows with these people. But tinfoil always suspects a hidden agenda.hmmm

I believe there is something more to this than a simple random theft.

[Freddie Stubbs]

16. Silence what? Most people aren't aware that he is a candidate

[Blaze Diem]

17. Maybe doesn't have anything to do with his invisible candidacy

but what someone like Abromoff might be revealing.
Maybe its an inside job..maybe one of Dodd's own doing.
I don't know enough at this point to attach any of these theories to this event..but without speculation we simply accept what is reported.

I've learned with this admim that damn near everything is handled as slight-of-hand. deception.

3. I'm remembering the "bums" seen in Dealey Plaza

Nov. 22, 1964. Allegedly they were E. Howard Hunt and one of the other guys who would later be among the "Watergate burglars." Dressed as bums.

Homeless guy steals computer from Dodd's office? What might be on that computer?

No :tinfoilhat: needed to think this could be more than a simple burglary.

[Doctor_J]

4. Yes, I can just hear Soto saying, "I'm just a patsy".

THis stuff is too weird.

[DemBones DemBones]

5. Hehe, my eyes are tired and

I thought he was saying "I'm just a pasty!" THAT would be even weirder. ;-)

Cornish pasty or stripper's?

6. Dodd is a tool

Sorry, I know this is a democrat site, but Dodd is a symptom as much as the repugs of everything that is wrong with the congreffs. He is a mouthpiece for the bankers and scum bags as much as Bush is. I like my tinfoil as much as the next guy, but my feeling is that Dodd is the victim of his own "strong economy" bs. Hopefully this isn't the last time the huddled masses get a piece of hizzazz.

12. Pretty clever homeless guy (although that is certainly possible)

"Officers were called Sunday afternoon when a property manager found the building's front door unlocked. Detectives determined that the suspect went into an adjacent parking garage sometime before dawn Sunday, used wood planks to create a makeshift walkway to a second-floor window, and broke into Dodd's office there, Dryfe said.

The suspect took the items out through the front door, he said. The building has an alarm system, but police never received a report that it had been activated, Dryfe said."

Watergate started off as a botched burglary, so you never know about these things.

14. Yes, I am surprised that a Senator's sensitive data doesn't have better security than this
