The mystery over the attack on Rand Paul deepens
CNN ^ | November 22, 2017 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 11/25/2017 2:55:30 PM PST by iowamark

It's been 19 days since Rand Paul was attacked by a neighbor while mowing his lawn. And on Wednesday, the story got even stranger as the wife of the Kentucky Republican Senator wrote a piece for CNN detailing the extent of the injuries he suffered in the attack.

"There have been several nights where I had my hand on my phone ready to call 911 when his breathing became so labored it was terrifying," writes Kelley Paul of her husband.

What's even more striking is how Kelley Paul describes the attack -- and the motive behind it...

In the immediate aftermath of the Nov. 3 attack at Paul's home in Kentucky, several neighbors spoke out to CNN and other national news sites, insisting that it was the boiling point of a long-running dispute over flora and fauna. "A neighbor who did not want to be identified said the two have been 'quibbling' over yard waste for years," CNN wrote on Nov. 7. A statement by a lawyer for Rene Boucher, the man who tackled Paul, seemed to affirm that story...

So, what the heck actually happened -- and more importantly why? Why would someone who had been a longtime neighbor of Paul's suddenly snap and inflict serious damage on him? Why is there so much effort to push totally contradictory explanations of the incident and what motivated it? We are dealing with a US Senator who was viciously attacked at his home. Boucher pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor assault earlier this month, making it more likely there will be a trial at which we may finally get this mystery solved.

What gives? What really happened? How do we not know this yet?

There is a war being conducted
All the ops are exposing themselves.

I’m taking notes

if United States Senator Rand Paul demands that they happen.

In many ways why he hasn't insisted yet is the biggest mystery here.

I’m not among those who think an Art 5 convention will accomplish much. It’s still limited to what 3/4 of the states will approve. In other words, 13 states can turn down anything. Let’s see: California, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Illinois, Maryland, Rhode Island, Virginia, Oregon, Washington, Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.

That’s 17

Vote all the bums out! Bottom to top!

That is How Paul was placed.

Trump could give a fig, but most of these bastards are looking for power and money

Sending ‘good’ men and women to corrupt institutions is like changing out the driver of a car on blocks. The solution begins with repairing the vehicle.

I’m among those who know that doing the same ineffective things over and over again will lead to our ultimate demise.

Obviously this case requires the same level of attention as the Las Vegas shooting.

Since complete answers to all of our questions are not immediately available we must assume that there is a vast conspiracy at work.

My best guess is that Boucher is a contractor for the CIA who is working for the Deep Government to prevent Rand from helping Trump to drain the swamp.

It's also possible that he recently became a Muslim and is a member of an ISIS sleeper cell.

There is also the possibility that he was gun-running for the previous administration and developed close ties with MS-13. Since Rand is for legalizing drugs and this would cut into MS-13 profits, this could very well be an attempted hit. Rand is lucky his head is still fully attached.

The final possibility is that Rand somehow learned something about the Soros-Clinton-Obama conspiracy and he was targeted so that he couldn't report what he knows about the CGI.

Any and all other theories are welcome and must be fully elaborated: Cuba, Russia, Aliens, etc.

You would get charged with felony assault for far less than this.

Rand’s lucky it wasn’t regarding a barking dog...for he would have REALLY been assaulted.

...after all, CNN, isn’t that the way every settles disputes?

Why was this domestic terrorist only charged with a misdemeanor?

Replying ti this:

Senator Rand was seriously injured by an unprovoked and vicious attack.

Why is the charge only a misdemeanor assault? Why is there not a more serious felony charge, like attempted murder? 
...
And Rand Paul is obviously not pushing for more serious charge...why is that???

This is beyond weird...there is more to this story...

People are concerned that Senator Paul who is a Dr has issues with our healthcare system which we all know has gone to **** since Obama.

It become pure propaganda, its become unaffordable, it stinks on ice, and if you say something they bust you up

The most worthless incumbents will be replaced wherever possible in primaries, but by and large, we will vote Republican in great numbers in the congressional elections next year, 2018. The alternative would be to lose some constitutional rights (e.g., Second Amendment) and lose the great effort for tax reform (e.g., stopping revenues from being diverted to the most radical, high-tax state and local governments of the left for their use in politics against us).

To all: vote Republican in the mid-terms!

even spitting on somebody is misdemeanor assault

Spitting on the wrong person could become suicide.
