El Paso Times censors FBI probe into DA

'The published article, that was later removed, states that District Attorney candidate James D. Lucas “asked the FBI and two state agencies to investigate his allegations against District Attorney Jaime Esparza which he had posted on a website this week”.'

The story, then, was not about an FBI probe, but about a request from one candidate for office that the FBI investigate another candidate, the incumbent. I don't know El Paso politics, but could it be that the paper followed up with the requests and decided that Mr. Lucas had manipulated it into publishing an article of no substance?
