I don't know what you mean about "level". This is a COUNTY prosecuter, not some federal DA. He is going after a few thousand dollars of campaign donations, something that usually is handled at a federal level by the FEC with fines.

His "charge" against DeLay is conspiracy, suggesting that DeLay had some conversation with someone where they talked about a fundraiser, knowing that there was something illegal about it.

This was the ONLY thing he could charge DeLay for, because any actual election code violations would have to be tried in DeLay's county, and that prosecuter had no interest in wasting his time.

Conspiracy is a state charge which the travis county DA could do something about.

Imagine your local county prosecuter finding someone illegally sent money to Nancy Pelosi, and then bringing her up on conspiracy charges because he hates democrats.

Thanks for that.

Well, hypothetically, if evidence was discovered that Pelosi had knowledge that she was accepting the money illegally, that would be great. I'd love to see her career go the way of Grey Davis.

Thanks.
