DELAY [Mark R. Levin] Here's my first take on this indictment (I've only read the indictment and nothing more for now): The indictment is three pages in length. Other than a statement that "one or more" of 3 individuals, including Tom DeLay, entered into an illegal conspiracy, I can't find a single sentence tying Tom DeLay to a crime. That is, there's not a single sentence tying DeLay to the contribution. The indictment describes the alleged conduct of two other individuals, but nothing about DeLay. You would think if Ronnie Earle had even a thin reed of testimony linking DeLay to the contribution, it would have been noted in the indictment to justify the grand jury's action. Moreover, not only is there no information about DeLay committing acts in furtherance of a conspiracy, there's no information about DeLay entering into a conspiracy. I honestly believe that unless there's more, this is an egregious abuse of prosecutorial power. It's a disgrace. I understand that not everything has to be contained in an indictment, but how about something! Posted at 01:58 PM
It's not about whether he's doing what you think is best, it's about whether or not he's guilty. I note by your third party usage of "republican" that you may not, in fact, be a member of the Republican party?
The Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media have been on the prod for DeLay since I can remember. Remember how they reacted when he had the courage to stand with the NRA in public? Other Republican politicians don't have the guts to do that. Hopefully this indictment will be shown for what it is, a political assassination attempt.
BTW, over on MSNBC their talking heads were beside themselves with joy over this news. You would have thought they had hit the jackpot at Vegas.
Speaking of $3 Bills, Delay's district is getting $1.6 million dollars in pork barrel money this year. (That's 533,333 $3 bills.) I have no use for the guy and I hope his next job is working as the janitor at the Austin YMCA.
Thanks, Hillary. Good luck with your reelection campaign.
It doesn't matter what you think, it's up to the voters in his district.
Sorry, I haven't found the entire transcript, just his statement.
Those of us who have been following this saw this coming for months. Standard M.O. by yet another corrupt Democrat.

The indictment is totally about the 2006 elections, and the pace of the prosecution will be handled so as to make sure that it will not be completed before those elections, if the Democrtatic prosecutor cannot convict Delay.
When, and When Delay gets this charge thrown out of court he should file a civil lawsuit for malicious prosecution, and a formal complaint with the Texas Supreme court to have Ronnie Earle's law license revoked.
I'm tired of seeing 'RAT prosecutors abusing their positions for political purposes. (see Ruch Limbaugh v Palm Beach DA)
I would just love to see a 'Pub fight like hell for something.
Earle is an old time southern Democrat who is scared and demoralized as he witnesses Texas and the rest of the south reject the once powerful Donkey Party.
As as result, Earle is blindly and blatantly lashing out as someone in their dying moments often does.
Yes, it's bogus.
I consider my commute home to be an extension of my formal education. Mark is one of the smartest and most informative hosts on the radio. He really should be coast to coast.
Made me laugh out loud--thank you.
You're awesome! Thanks so much.
The left don't need no stinkin facts.
