Indictments are easy to get. Any DA worth his salt can get a grand jury to indict, it has been said. Getting the charges to stick are another thing.
But Delay may find his power brokering delayed for a bit.
BTTT
Heard this was coming down the pike yesterday. It was all over the Leftists websites. I thought maybe it was just wishful thinking on their part. UGH!
Martha and TD sittin' in a cell...
Democrats playing hardball.
Next step in this process is for the Republicans to acquiesce quietly and slink away with their tail between their legs.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
This is a political witchhunt.

The Earle of Injustice strikes again!
The GOP is falling apart. Hillary is going to walk into the White House.
Oh geeeeeesh ping.
If only he knew what the meaning of "is" is. He could walk.
Not surprising since the Travis County state's attorney has been gunning for him. I would be shocked to see this actually make it to trial.
It shouldn't be too difficult to get one count dismissed on technical grounds.
If, and I mean if, he is guilty, he should step down and save the party.
Are there any details? What is the conspiracy? Is there proof of any wrongdoing?
I think it was Steve Forbes other day that said he could see GOP losing the house next election.
The fishing expedition by the hippie DA produced one freaking charge.

Conspiracy!
