Mass. GOP Official Resigns After Charges

Wednesday September 14, 2005 6:46 PM


BOSTON, Mass. (AP) - The vice chairman of the state Republican Party resigned after a federal sting led to money-laundering charges accusing him of offering to ``cleanse'' drug proceeds for a legal client.

Lawrence Novak, an attorney, was arrested at his home Tuesday after investigators said he allegedly offered to launder drug profits for Scott Holyoke. Novak resigned his party position on Tuesday after his release on bond.

Holyoke is awaiting trial on federal drug trafficking charges and agreed to be a cooperating witness against Novak for the FBI.

Novak allegedly offered to have Holyoke sign false affidavits in an attempt to gain a reduced sentence for Holyoke. Holyoke told Novak that he had more than $100,000 in cash in a safe deposit box, repeatedly telling Novak that the money was drug proceeds, according to an affidavit filed by Lauren Youngquist, an Internal Revenue Service agent.

7. So true

We were watching a bit about Roberts where they were featuring a couple of repukes and showing closeups of Roberts. My husband remarked that all those republicans have the same eyes of the devil. Its true. The blackness of their souls does shine out through their piggy eyes.

...no offense meant to pigs...

18. As pudgy and out of shape as they are, they all want to know

there are young American men and women who are in harm's way, who are also running themselves ragged, slaughtering lots of other people the Republicans want out of the road, just because the Republican chickenhawks want them to do it, and have created a collossal lie to explain why they're doing it.

Republicans want the freedom to get as big as all outdoors, through gluttony, sloth, etc., while depending upon the labor of people they refuse to pay properly for their services. Yep, they're real freedom lovers.

This story must be some sort of malevolent liberal plot based on falsified evidence.
