The congressional office of Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) recently had several items and cash stolen from her Washington D.C. office, according to a police report obtained by Townhall.
Camera equipment with a retail value of $1,079 and $220 in cash vanished between Oct. 3 and 6 of 2014. Bachmann’s press secretary, Dan Kotman, declined questioning as to whether or not this incident is believed to be from a staffer or if these items were purchased with taxpayer money.
Capitol Police have declined any comment about the case, citing an ongoing investigation. When asked if there are security cameras in Bachmann’s office, Lt. Kimberly Schneider, Public Information Officer at Capitol Police said, “We do not discuss our law enforcement or security procedures.”
Inside the offices of the Rayburn House Office Building, anyone is allowed to come in and out in between 5am and 8pm or 30 minutes after the adjournment of the House and Senate, seven days a week.
Bachmann’s office is no stranger to theft. In July 2013, her legislative aid, Javier Sanchez, was arrested in a police sting for stealing cash from her office.
In room 2416, directly across the hall from Bachmann, is Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.). A police report was filed for $256 in miscellaneous items stolen from his office right around the same date as Bachmann's police report. Capitol Police would not comment on whether the incidences were related.
Theft inside Congressional and Senate offices located throughout Capitol Hill is not rare. A report released by Capitol Police to Roll Call shows thefts common in between 2007-2012.
Capitol Police would also not comment on any need to refine security protocols.
Interesting that this can happen in a busy office building while she herself is under extra protection.
Be interesting to know whether any computers were disturbed or files are missing. We are talking political types, so passwords are, no doubt, under an office blotter, or in a note book titled “passwords.”
Damn democrats, they’re so used to stealing, they don’t know when to stop!
Sounds like the Eboma NWO cabal has the NSA reading her emails and listening to phone calls and have items of interest acquired to blackmail her. This is how they roll.
Watergate revisited...........
Doesn’t the victim have to be present in order for them to be robbed?
Is it even possible to rob an inanimate object?
I wonder if Michelle is looking forward for a run for the Senate or Governorship?....seems she would get the farm, rural, suburban vote....
Be sure to check the door latch for a piece of tape.
I would suspect any democrat ‘colleague” that happened by.
Makes one wonder who might be facilitating these break-ins.
A missing camera and the petty cash are definitely a cover for something of importance like computer access. She should be checking the security videos to see who came and went and IT for who’s been snooping in her files.
Probably some of those illegal aliens always wandering around the joint whining that nobody wants to give them amnesty.
Could be the cleaners.
Not as busy as you might think.
Exactly my thought. ‘Robbery’ seems a bit obvious...almost convenient and/or staged.
Paging sandy bergler.
As soon as he reads about it in the paper, I’m sure Obama will be furious.
