It seems like they are desperately trying to "sell" a non-political reason for the attack, but I'm not buying it. Even if for some unfathomable reason Sen. Paul did cut down all his trees it looks like Boucher would still only have a limited lake view. The trees on Boucher's property and the two lots south of him are blocking more of the view, it seems to me (see satellite photo below, from which I have deleted street names, since someone already got in trouble for revealing the addresses.) Sen. Paul has stated he has had no contact with Boucher for years, indicating Boucher never approached him about this anyway. Article is below photo.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Socialist' doctor 'assaulted' Kentucky Senator Rand Paul because the congressman's trees were 'in the way' and were 'devaluing his $740,000 home that he is desperately trying to sell'

∙ Rene Boucher, 59, told neighbor Rand Paul that he hadn't been able to sell his house for ten years because of the woodland behind Paul's property
∙ The trees apparently block Boucher's views of the picturesque private lake that forms the centerpiece of their upscale gated community in Bowling Green, KY
∙ DailyMail.com can reveal the two men's lots houses are about 250ft apart, separated by a lawn rather than a wall or fence
∙ Property records confirm Boucher has indeed put his house on the market five times over the past decade without success
∙ Boucher has marketed the property as high as $849,500 but tax assessors say the 7,500 sq ft, two-story home is actually worth $740,000

∙ 'Rand mowed his own yard. It was always presentable. That's a very lame excuse if that's the one they are choosing to use,' neighbor Dan Renshaw, 70, said
∙ Boycher's lawyer Matt Baker insists there is no political element to the attack and has described the incident as a 'property dispute'
