And yesterday the governor of Puerto Rico was indicted on multiple violations of federal election laws. For those of you unfamiliar with the byzantine politics of the Isla de Encanto, the current governor is from the Popular Democratic Party, which is assocaited with the US Democratic party. The main opposition is called soemhting like New Progressive Party, and is affiliated with the US Republican Party. Rosello', the previous NPP governor ended up with most of his cabinet and half his staff in federal jail on corruption charges. But he personally escaped unscathed despite widespread feeling that he knew exactly what was going on.

So - are these new indictments yet another effort by US DoJ to punish Democrats while letting Republicans off with a wrist slap? I've no doubt that the current govrenor is guilty, but i also have no doubt that Rosello was even worse and yet was never even indicted.
