More on "Both Ways Bob headed to the pokey?"
From the press release from the Ritter campaign:
Gubernatorial candidate Bill Ritter today asked the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to examine whether Congressman Beauprez broke the law by using a criminaljustice database in a television attack ad.
Ritter accused the Congressman of gaining access to a secure national database in violation of state and federal law.
"Your campaign broke the law," Ritter said during a debate taped at Fox 31 News in Denver this afternoon. "It's illegal to have access to that database."
The Congressman said his campaign used an "informant" to gather the information in the ad and would publicly disclose how and from where he obtained the information.
"The Congressman needs to be held accountable for this," Ritter said after the debate. "Breaking the rules for political gain and trying to cover it up might be OK in Washington, but that's not how we do things in Colorado."
