FBI Joins Probe of Colo. Republican Gubernatorial Campaign
Colorado Congressman Bob Beauprez is in a heated battle with former Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter in the Colorado Governor's race. As I have been writing over at 5280.com, the campaign of Republican Congressman Bob Beauprez is in trouble now that the FBI agreed to join the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in investigating how the Beauprez campaign got confidential criminal records regarding a defendant prosecuted during Ritter’s tenure as District Attorney that were later used in an ad attacking Ritter.
Beauprez continued to refuse to disclose how he got the information. He referred to his source as an “informant” and tried to hide behind a kind of journalist’s privilege, which of course, is ridiculous.
Yesterday I wondered "which law enforcement officer or state or federal employee is going to be out of a job. The possibilities are numerous."
Not any more. the CBI said today they got their culprit and it was someone in federal law enforcement.
Let the sparks fly. Beauprez' tag line has been "I'm Accountable." I hope Colorado voters take him at his word. His tv ads attacks on Ritter have been straight out of the Willie Horton mold. It's time to pay the piper.
