In New Hampshire, Two Break-Ins at Dem Offices

Over the weekend, there was a break-in at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s headquarters. Did it mean anything? Another Watergate? The early verdict was probably not.

But The Concord Monitor adds another wrinkle to the story: “The burglary over the weekend at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s Concord headquarters came five weeks after a break-in at a Democratic Party office in Manchester.”

According to the paper, the Manchester office door was found forced open in late January and “nothing seemed to have been stolen.” Five weeks later, whoever broke into the party headquarters in Concord stole “laptops and other equipment.”

Coincidence? Maybe. But in a state notorious for Republican dirty tricks, suspicion is in order.
