Here we have a mixing of categories and topics, two quite different things. The topic is John Ashcroft, which can be found in multiple categories, in this case multiple categories which are defined to contain only one person each (a little strange).
I'm not sure I understand your usage of the words "category" and "topic".
In this case "John Ashcroft" is a subject heading for entries about John Ashcroft -- news articles, bios, speeches, rants, whatever. This is not a categorization of a person object representing John Ashcroft. Sorry if that was confusing.
This is like the Library of Congress Subject Heading "Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865" (there is more than one Abraham Lincoln).
