As per the police report, the staff member was repeatedly stabbed with a knife on the 1300 block of H St. NE.
The staffer survived the attack.
"This past weekend a member of my staff was brutally attacked in broad daylight in Washington, D.C." Paul wrote.
"I ask you to join Kelley and me in praying for a speedy and complete recovery, and thanking the first responders, hospital staff, and police for their diligent actions. We are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. At this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery."
42-year-old Glynn Neal, of Southeast, DC, was arrested and charged with Assault with Intent to Kill.

And then....wouldn't it be perty-right simple to determine whether this was just another "random" act of violence or perhaps not so random? I mean Glynn Neal must know why he did it.
Seems like it would be so simple....and then, while it is still "hot" assuming it wasn't just some sort of random act of harm committed upon Rand Paul's staffer, wouldn't it be simple to work ones way up the chain of command?
I hope the staffer is recovering, but I hope this incident becomes transparent if it wasn't just a random act of harm....frankly, I don't think it was - odds on that are 85-15 just now. 85% chance it was NOT random.

Then, I'd ask this question: How did you happen to see the person you decided to stab?
Answer or not, the next question would be: What were you trying to get from the person you decided to stab?
Same deal, next question would be: Were you trying to kill them being you stabbed them something like 14 times or was there another objective in your efforts?

Meanwhile, I would be (or folks working with me) talking to the guards in the prison as well as the prisoners to find out a bit more about this Glynn Neal fella. I would be requesting, as I assume is available to law enforcement, records of his calls during his time in prison and of course the recipients of each call. As well as a visitor log and likely any other info that is generally available for common criminals convicted for serious crimes and whatnot. I would be doing more than that, and if this act was not random, I would do it transparently once it became evident just as so many other things are today - you know? There is no escaping justice.
