A top Utah prosecutor apologized for telling a local lawmaker to “die and go to hell” after the candidate interrupted
the lawyer’s afternoon nap with his “wife and downstairs tenant.” Assistant Attorney General Steven Wuthrich’s diatribe was sent in a profanity-laced email that Salt Lake City Councilman Darin Mano shared on Facebook Monday.

“I have a no soliciting sign on my door for a reason. On a nice Saturday afternoon myself and my wife and my downstairs tenant were all taking a lovely siesta when some motherf—ing ignorant son-of-b—h rang our doorbell and put your piece of s–t unwanted solicitation in our door waking the dogs and waking us and the neighbors with an uproar,” the screenshot of Wuthrich’s email said

“I will do everything in my power to see you never get elected to any office higher than dog catcher. I hate you I hate your family I hate your solicitors I hate your contributors I hate your sponsors,” Wuthrich wrote. “Kindly die and go to hell motherf—-r!!!!,” the note concluded.

“Last Saturday, I was awakened from a nap and reacted with undue anger based solely on the interruption to my tranquility,” Wuthrich wrote, according to the paper. “Since then, I have regretted the ferocity and language of that email. My words were uncivil and unprofessional. From me personally, I apologize to Salt Lake City Councilman Darin Mano and his family.”

Mano was selected to fill a vacant seat in the city council last year. He’s running to be the first Asian-American elected lawmaker in Salt Lake City. Mano is also a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

As Assistant Attorney General you would think he would know the law:

“ In his initial email, Wuthrich said he had an “unwanted solicitation” sign on his door. Mano said he saw the sign, but clarified that “solicitation and campaigning are not the same thing.”

“Our understanding of the law is that campaigning is protected under the First Amendment — that's why we were particularly shocked because one would think that the assistant attorney general would know the difference,” he said.”

7. "He's Assistant AG - not just a lawyer"

As stated in the second sentence of the OP:

"Assistant Attorney General Steven Wuthrich’s diatribe ..."

6. He is not at all sorry for his thoughts and just wishes he had said it verbally.

He’s sorry he put it in an email. So everyone knows what a POS he is.
