He also owns Buck's Fishing Camping and is the board president of Transformer, the contemporary art gallery that shamed the Smithsonian for removing an installation offensive to right-wingers. He became a bit of a local hero for activist types (lots of them in washington) including the article writers. Also Comet has received critical acclaim from The Washington Post, The Washingtonian, New York magazine, the DCist, and Guy Fieri of Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Fairly easy to see why a group of young activist writers would rate him as influential?! Also on that list were ‘Party Planners’ and several other popular restaurant owners.

This is a bunch of worthless information that changes nothing about the evidence. Credibility does not = innocence.
