It's like something out of a movie. A country club bartender threatens to poison the speaker of the House, but this indictment is very real, charging Michael Robert Hoyt with threatening to murder John Boehner. The disturbed Hoyt telling the police he was Jesus Christ, even blaming Boehner for Ebola. Can't make this stuff up.

That was Boehner's response when cnn asked about the threat which he has known about since it happened last Fall. Boehner and his wife, Debbie, knew bartender Mike as he was called for years. He even had Debbie Bohner's email address and sent her this chilling note after he was fired from their Westchester Ohio country club.

Writing "if I had any intention of hurting Mr. Boehner, I could have poison his wine at Wetherington many, many times." What is this about, Debbie Boehner responded? Hoyt's rambling answer in part. "Mrs. Boehner, I was fired. I could not email Mr. Boehner directly because of the zip code block on his email. "

The next day, he plays an unintelligible call to 911.

Yes, this is uh, Mike. Uh, I mess up.

When police went to his home, Hoyt said he had heard the devil's voice telling him John Beohner was evil and he planded to shoot Boehner with with an automatic weapon.

It's a sad situation. I think this individual needs a great deal of help. The speaker also needs to be protected.

Since 911, security at the capital is stiff. This armored vehicle known as Bearcat sits outside， but when most lawmakers are home, they are on their own. A fact on deadly display four years ago, when an assassin tried to kill then Congresswoman, Gabby Giffords. But capital police do protect congressional leaders and the House Speaker-second in line to the presidency, has more protection than any other. He does not make a move inside the capital or out without security detail, but nothing is absolute.

There may be security at a table next to them, but they are a patron like any other customer.

Doug Hyde was top aide to the former House leader, Eric Cantor, when a bullet hole was founded in his Virginia office.

How common is this kind of thing?

Unfortunately, it's more common than anybody would expect. They all get angry letters everyday from Republicans, from Democrats, from independents. But every once in a while, somebody steps over the line, says something they shouldn't do, makes an over threat and every time the capital police investigates it.
