This time it's democratic super delegate & obamanator supporter, Puerto Rico’s governor Anibal Acevedo Vila, plus a few of his buddies who got nabbed by the feds for shifty fund raising and tax fraud.
Gov. Aníbal Acevedo Vilá is expected to be arrested Thursday and charged with six campaign related charges: conspiracy to violate election laws, making false statements, wire fraud, program fraud, conspiracy to defraud the IRS and filing a false tax return.
