No Charges In DeMaio Office Break-In

Via the San Diego U-T:

District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis announced today that there was not enough evidence for her to file criminal charges in the May burglary of Congressional candidate Carl DeMaio's campaign office. Dumanis also said in a statement that her office would not pursue sexual misconduct charges against DeMaio — allegations that DeMaio has said come from the prime suspect in the burglary. DeMaio claims that a former campaign staffer, Todd Bosnich, broke into his office on May 27 and vandalized it. Bosnich went on CNN this month to accuse DeMaio of sexual misconduct. DeMaio has repeatedly suggested the accusations are a smokescreen against the criminal charges.

Congressional candidate Carl DeMaio wants voters to know that he's down with the whole women's rights thing: access to birth control, equal pay, etc. But, behind the scenes, if you're a woman he disagrees with, you could be the subject of ridicule. On Jan. 22, DeMaio sent an email to two members of his staff, campaign spokesperson Dave McCulloch and then-policy director Todd Bosnich (Bosnich has accused DeMaio of sexually harassing him and trying to buy his silence). The email's subject line is "Kate Lyon" and includes a photo of an overweight woman wearing a bra and eating what looks to be a Twinkie chicken nugget. (The woman in the photo is not Lyon.) Based on the email's metadata, it appears to be authentic.

UPDATE: And even more sleazy news about DeMaio:

Anonymous emails, sent to the former staffer who accused Republican congressional candidate Carl DeMaio of sexual harassment, are the subject of FBI agent interviews with potential witnesses, sources have confirmed to NBC7 Investigates. DeMaio is locked in a nasty, raging battle against first-term incumbent Rep. Scott Peters for the 52nd Congressional District. But several sources close to the investigation told NBC7 that FBI agents and a lawyer from the U.S. Attorney's office asked questions focused on the accusation the Bosniches had received harassing emails, and an alleged hack of his Gmail account. The investigators also inquired about Bosnich’s claim that he was offered $50,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement. A source close to the investigation told NBC7 Investigates the emails threatened Bosnich's political career and put pressure on him to accept the $50,000, saying "you better keep your mouth shut and take the deal." FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth said his agency does not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.
