Dee Margo Interviewed by FBI

-
The headlines in today's El Paso Times say that Margo was interviewed by the FBI about the public corruption case that is under investigation. Six people have pleaded guilty to serious federal charges in this case.
-
Margo, a wealthy Republican, is head of a large insurance organization in El Paso. His wife serves with the Bush administration in the area of the arts. Her art gallery is located in the basement of her husband's business operation at JDW Insurance.
-
The newspaper could have used headlines saying that "Margo Helped The FBI" with their investigation, but they chose not to. Without coming right out and saying it, I get the feeling that they are casting aspersions at Margo.
-
Margo is running against the long time office holder Pat Haggerty. Margo has been accused of moving into the district as a sham, only so that he would be eligible to run against Haggerty. Pat Haggerty is well known for being honest and saying exactly what he thinks, even when it means that the rich and powerful will be upset with him.
-
I am tempted to vote in the Republican primary just so that I can vote for Haggerty.
