In that case it would be personal against Savannah Guthrie.
Then, we all wonder who has it in for Savannah Guthrie, who hates her so much that they would do this crime.
Time will tell once this episode is over, and we learn what happened here.
Off topic, but I do hope there are things behind the scenes that are not publicized , that law enforcement is doing to solve this crime. I know it doesn’t look good that they’ve detained some people, but then those people are not considered suspects, and are released by law enforcement.
Time will tell.
I would expect a right-wing nut job. While the overwhelming majority of the political violence in this country is from the left, there are right-wing nuts out there as well.
I suspect that Savannah did a story on ... something or someone and, given that's she's on NBC, there's a pretty high chance that the story in question was perceived to be a long, long way from fair.
Kidnapping Savannah's mother hurts Savannah a lot more than if he/they hurt Savannah directly.
I don’t know about the whole revenge theory. Sure, she’s a shameless left wing hack. I remember her ambush town hall w Trump in 2020. But there are a bunch hackier than she, like those harridans that run the Sunday morning shows
