Governor (D) Indicted

No, not that oneThis one.

The governor of Puerto Rico and at least 12 others, including members of his campaign finance committee, were indicted in San Juan in the culmination of a three-year investigation into the governor's campaign finances, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office on the island.

Gov. Aníbal Acevedo Vilá is expected to turn himself in Friday to face a variety campaign related crimes: conspiracy to violate election laws, making false statements, wire fraud, program fraud, conspiracy to defraud the IRS and filing a false tax return.
...
Acevedo, a member of Puerto Rico's Popular Democratic Party, is in the midst of a reelection campaign.

Tentative congratulations are in order for Senator Clinton, as this party superdelegate had publicly endorsed Barack Obama.  If Acevedo loses his convention vote, it'll offset the one Hillary lost when Eliot Spitzer resigned in disgrace.
