Peters wins, while significant post-election questions surface…

“If this were a House of Cards storyline, we’d find it really enjoyable, but we’d also be thinking how unrealistic the whole thing is.” —Barry Jantz, via Twitter

“Based on the … information I believe Todd Bosnich burglarized the Carl DeMaio campaign office…” —SDPD report, from the U-T San Diego article by Greg Moran linked below

“Bosnich responded and asked his mother to leave him alone because he was responsible for a ‘huge f–k up’ and had to be fired as the campaign’s policy director. —Wendy Fry, in the second NBC7 story linked below

“According to the court documents, Todd Bosnich gave Peters’ campaign manager, MaryAnne Pintar, printed proofs of the mailers from Carl DeMaio’s campaign and a CD containing a recording of his June interview with KFMB’s Mike Slater.” —Wendy Fry and Lyn Walsh, in the first NBC7 story linked below

Rostra editorial comment: But, Slater didn’t air the interview and no one seems to know how it got out.

“The documents also reveal that the Peters campaign held on to the information for several days before alerting police. Peters had said his team handed it to police within 24 hours of getting it.” –Scott Lewis, Voice Morning Report

“Scott Peters, will you request MaryAnne Pintar resign for outing a sexual harassment survivor without his consent?” —Lori Saldana, via Twitter

“Following my earlier flippant comparison to House of Cards, I’ll sign off with this, journalists: Stay away from the subway tracks.” —Barry Jantz, via Twitter
