Acting U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said Thursday the indictment also charges 12 other people associated with Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila's party.

Rodriguez told reporters that the 13 are accused of running a conspiracy to illegally raise money to pay off Acevedo's campaign debts in 2000.

 from now until the DOJ is purged on 1/21/09.

So here we have the DUmmies hoping for the ouster of DOJ officials because they're doing the job to well for the DUmmies' tastes.  Everyone knows that only Republicans are guilty of corruption.  Democrats can never be guilty of anything.

OH YEAH!
