whats going on?
Did you read the article?
Delay had two processes of investigation going on , one from the Abramhoff scandal which was federal. Delays Aid took gifts from Abramoff, Delay did not.
One Dem County prosecutor in Texas said DeLay was laundering campaign money , when all DeLay had done was to transfer funds from one account (state) to a federal campaign account,and back. This is normal practise. It is not money laundering.
They had to shop three juries in Texas before they could get one to return an indictment.
Because of GOP party rules, anyone being “investigated” for a criminal offence has to resign their seat,while in the Dem party the rule is that they must be convicted of any offence.Delay had to resign his seat, and also Mccain and a bunch of RINOS made sure he did not get access to any possibility of a legal defence fund.
It was the most egregious move that conservatives could suffer. Without DeLay as a whip in the house, the RINOS were able to divide and conquer the GOP, and the conservative legislative agenda was abandoned by the Senate in the work of the notorious Gang of 14, including McCain.
DeLay has been exhonerated on his federal investigation after 6 years of false charges, and now he turns to have the false charges against him in Texas dismissed.This is a Dem abuse of our legal system, and a travesty to the Congress who lost a good man, feared by the Dems, when he was needed most.
Welcome back Tom. Heres to you re-entering the fray just when we need conservative strength as much as we ever have!
