easy there Asshat...
I have "doggedly" corrected folks from repeating a false meme started by Binstence, he was the first to bring up unsupported party affiliation as "fact"...
It has been reported here and other places on the web also confirmed by other FReepers on this thread that this guy is a registered (R).....
I know this is no fun for many here but the most probable reason that no political affiliation is mentioned in the news reports, is not some media conspiracy to cover-up his affiliation... but the simple fact that he was not in a political position... an Assistant U.S. Attorney in his position is a hired, civil service type position, not an elected office or a political appointment (he was hired in the 80's).
For this reason alone I find Binstences claim to have found old news stories about him that mention his political affiliation specious at best... he was a Assistant US Attorney who primarly prosecuted financial/accounting type crimes... not the type to often make the news ...
Tell you what ... do me a favor and try to find in past news stories any time when an Assistant US Attorney is mentioned along with his political affiliation... it's not done, because AUSA is not a political position...
*as for your assumption about my sexual proclivities ... I was going to not dignify it with as response ... but upon reconsideration ... felt that I would clarify and let you know that I am straight ... i do apologize for surely ruining your fantasy about me and not allowing your "SubbyG" sock to be soiled once again ....

But the media does extend this courtesy to elected Democrats. Part of the attraction of FR is to dig deep into stories. As the MSM likes to hide the Democrat tag on thieves, liars and cheats, it's easy to jump to conclusions when party affiliation is not mentioned in a story like this. Besides, I have still not seen the proof the guy is a Republican. Where is the link?
And you don't have to defend your sexual orientation to me.
