Both Ways Bob headed to the pokey?
Thanks to dismaleconomist at Square State for highlighting an article in The Cherry Creek News that claims the Beauprez for Governor campaign may have broken federal and state laws developing baseless attacks on Bill Ritter:
The Beauprez campaign has been using a plea bargains made by Ritter when he was Denver District Attorney to hammer the Democrat as soft on crime. The District Attorney's office says the plea bargain came because of problems with evidence in the case, which involved a man named either Carlos Medina or Walter Ramo.
But did the Beauprez campaign violate the law in obtaining that information?
The lawyer for the Ritter campaign has sent a letter to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, suggesting that the Beauprez campaign may have misused a federal crime database in researching the information, violating state and federal law. The attorney, Trey Rogers, has requested an investigation. The Beauprez campaign has previously told a television reporter that it used an "FBI number," which would mean it had access to the National Crime Information Center (or NCIC) database, to link the crime in Calfornia to the Colorado felon.
Roger's letter says that California is a "closed records" state, meaning the access to the Ramo-Medina records would require official level access to computer systems.
The Beauprez campaign claims to obtain the information through a Freedom of Information Act request. But according to our investigation, such a request would not allow access to a third party's records.
I already knew the ad ad in question was silly and maybe even false. Now it turns out it may land Beauprez in hot water, too.

We all know beauprez and some of us worked at the bank so we have seen his"honesty,truth" in action. Lied and betrayed MANY customers and when bush was here, of course, that phony "pat" on bush's back.That is ONLY ONE of beauprez phony actions to keep snowing people.He stole every dime his father Joe had, lied blatantly and fethered his OWN nest. We know him and not one word he has said yet is a fact or a future "promise". We would like to see it come out how he and the other crooks he sleeps with, managed ,in the "middle of the night to change the boundry on district 7. That is done ONLY in the cencus year but bobby,true to form,tried to do it illegally. He is a lot like that stupid,arrogant,Pres who by the way, he does not like AT ALL, and thinks he is above the law too. Now is he going to get by with lying and stealing the records in Calif. WE ALL want him nowhere close to ANY power position and would be overjoyed, if he wasout of congress and any position of trust, MAINLY because he cannot be trusted and for the last 18 years we have known him and seen him in action, HE, like the leopard, CANNOT change his spots. There is a lot more to dig up on him and his inept wife. PLEASE Find it and keep him OUT!!!!
