Texas Governor Greg Abbott is naming new senior advisers.  The Texas Tribune did a story about it and somehow neglected to mention that one of new hires, John Colyandro, plead guilty to accepting illegal political contributions.

Yeah, this is the same John Colyandro of Tom DeLay fame, who was indicted for accepting illegal corporate donations and for illegally laundering $190,000 in corporate funds through the Republican National State Elections Committee; money that later wound up in the hands of Texas Republican candidates.  He was also indicted on 13 counts of unlawful acceptance of a corporate political contribution.

He plead guilty to the lesser charge of accepting illegal campaign contributions.  He got 2 years probation on two Class A misdemeanors and an $8,000 fine.
