Not a word about his party affiliation. But they mentioned that of his accomplices;
“But investment banker Bill Blount pleaded guilty to making the payments, and lobbyist Al LaPierre admitted being the middleman. Mr. Blount, the former state Democratic Party chairman, last week was sentenced to more than four years in prison. Mr. LaPierre, the former executive director of the state Democratic Party, got four years. Mr. Blount also was ordered to pay $1 million to the government, and LaPierre $470,000.”””
Good. I am not going crazy then. I had to look it up. Heaven forbid if AP actually reported it.
