[history]
An aide to former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend has been indicted on charges of diverting $6.3 million in federal crime-fighting funds to pay staffers working on Mrs. Townsend's 2002 gubernatorial campaign.
Stephen P. Amos was the executive director of the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention (GOCCP) under Gov. Parris N. Glendening, a Democrat. He was charged Tuesday with using crime-fighting money to add 40 persons to his staff and to pay 10 of Mrs. Townsend's staffers, including her deputy chief of staff and several speech writers.

I ran through this very quickly and do not see a party or race mentioned. May we presume Black Democrat?

Surprise, surprise, and a Democrat mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, but this is the Washington Times.

You may presume guilty white liberal as in Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, from the Massachusetts clan of liberals.

Don't know about black, but the dem part was a surprise. I read the article and came to the part where it identified Glendenning as a democrat. NO LEFT WING PAPER WOULD DO THAT!! So, I went back to the top and found that the article was from the Washington TIMES!
The part I like is that it seems that the author is willing to accept that this thief misused the cash to pay 40 people there and 10 people here. The point should be that some of those folks were phantoms or his relatives or his friends. So, back to your point, yeah, it sounds like another black democrat. But, let's just put this behind us and move on.
