Kenneth Hesleps divorce from Katie Hill had grown nasty by the time he told a podcaster in late September that he was ready to talk publicly about his split with the Democratic congresswoman.
Any interest in an interview, and the whole story yet? Heslep texted Stephen Daniels, host of Talk of Santa Clarita, punctuating the offer with a smiling-face emoji. It was 1:40 a.m.
Daniels declined. It was clear he wanted to air dirty laundry, Daniels recalled Wednesday.
Conservative websites soon revealed that they had obtained some of Hills private texts and nude photos of her, including one with a campaign aide.
The main authors of the articles, it turns out, were former campaign advisors to Steve Knight, the Republican congressman ousted by Hill a year ago.

Hillary won CA by 7, Katie won it by 9. This fine public servant will avenge what they did to our Katie.

like a setup.

Did she make mistakes? Yes. Does she deserve all this? Hell no

She was not found guilty of anything and can make her case. Sorta like Frankens doing. Its a matter of timing.
