Mark Levin on DeLay
National Review Online ^ | 9/28/05 | Mark R. Levin

Posted on 09/28/2005 11:07:04 AM PDT by wcdukenfield

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

The indictment is as bogus as a $3 bill.

Does it mention that DeLay is a Republican? That is an indictable offense by Democrats.

The great one calls this what it is, a disgrace. Democrats like Earle have proven they will abuse the power of office to strike against political opponents. That is not rule of law, it is more like the SS.

It's good to hear that, I have alot of respect for Mark Levin, but if Tom De Lay did something wrong I think he should be treated like anyone else. I'm taking a wait and see attitude. Housecleaning is not a bad thing for our party. Look at the Democrats they keep criminals like Hillary(campaign finance laws violator) and Ted Kennedy around, and how's that working out for them?

This is encouraging to read. I hope this turns out to be a tempest in a teacup, and that the Dems all get tea stains.

Frankly this could be good for us if it shakes up the party establishment and allows some new blood to come to the leadership table. DeLay isn't representing the interests of fiscal conservatives anyway.

WC that's a good attitude ... if the indictment of DeLay can't withstand scrutiny, then the Dems will once again be wiping rotten egg off their collective faces.

LEVIN: "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."

Indeed, Mark...

As usual, Levin exposes the Democraps as purveyors of slander and innuendo.

So let's just allow the Rats to do whatever they want, to essentially use their cronies in the judiciary to basically pull off a coup?

I said this on another thread - and it bears repeating here:

And .. front and center on TV - Martin Frost - who sent his own staff member to STEAL DeLay's redistricting plan - right off DeLay's desk - and the guy was caught on video. Once again we have FOX News giving credibility to a criminal. Good job FOX.[/s]

However, since Frost lost his re-election bid in 2004 - I believe he's been out for Delay's hide ever since .. and with a equally vehement prosecutor in TX, this indictment was not unexpected.

It's just payback from all those TX democrats (you remember - the ones who ran off to other states rather than do their duty and vote) ..??

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO AGENDA FOR THE 2006 ELECTION - THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION AGAINST THE REPUBS.

"Bring it on".

It may be bogus, but you can bet the Republicans will cave on this, just like everything else.

Housecleaning is not a bad thing for our party.

By bringing false indictments it is a bad thing for anyone, regardless of party. If the people do not like Delay, they will vote him out. If you do not like Delay call your congressman and ask him to support someone else, but if this is a political witchhunt, it is bad for all Americans and is never justified.

It's working out just great for them. Why shouldn't it be since that is what people have come to expect from these crooks? They have no moral standards, and unfortunately neither do most of the people who elect them. Sad, but true!
