Nope. Wrong.
Ronnie "the Earle of Corruption" personally called to tip off news crews for photo ops to his raids on Republican (now Senator) Kay Bailey Hutchison's records/files (for 3 indictments in row against her that were each tossed out by judge and jury alike).
He's a camera hound (and that's his **best** trait). If a cameraman ever wanted a picture of Ronnie at home, it would have been granted.
It sure sounds like this Assclown DA not only wants to blow whatever case he thinks he has, but to end up disbarred and behind bars himself.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
Were the Soviets or the Nazis ever this obvious in their attempts to smear a politican?
Not to mention the extremely republican electorate, that usually helps republicans too!

OMG...shouldn't this be ILLEGAL???
He is that stupid.
He not only should be disbarred, but he should be facing charges for this abuse of power.
Once again York does fabulous investigative work. One of the very few "Journalists" left in it's traditional sense.
This idiot wants a movie? Well, when the case is dismissed, maybe Mel Gibson will bring one out that shames this idiot to no end.
Ronnie Earle, DEMOCRAT, is not only a hack, but is also an unprofessional nutcase.
Who in their right mind would allow something like this?
Destroy liberals now! expose their lies! No more mr. nice guy!
I'm as mad as hell and you know the rest . . .
This hack DA is an extreme embarrassment to the Texas Bar Association. Why in the world is he not disbarred for using his position for political vendettas and MOVIE productions, not to mention shaking down corporations for his pet projects? Wake up, TBA!!!
I heard the producer of this movie this morning on KLBJAM radio. He said, among other things, that Earle truly believes that he is out to save democracy.
The movie is expected out in 3 weeks. (Is this why Earle lept into the spotlight right now?)
The movie's name "The Big Buy", is a reference to a crime. When asked repeatedly what they would do if DeLay was acquitted and therefore a crime had not been committed, he just said that the movie ended at the indictment.
He did say that he was surprised that Earle had pushed for the indictment; it was his understanding (from Earle) that Delay would not be indicted, and in fact, they were going to have to refilm the ending, since it did end in an indictment. Presumably, the ending up to that point just left the viewer with the impression that a crime of some sort had been committed by Delay and the movie would end with that impression.
They have been filming this movie for 2 years.
Two can play his game. Where is a conservative prosecutor that will go after Earle and film him going to jail? I'm willing to bet he has a lot more to hide than Tom Delay does. Pelosi and a few others should start worrying as well, remember the scrambling to correct their records when this first started. Correcting isn't good enough anymore, if Delay has to pay so should they all.
I think the movie making is not an effort to make a successful, money-making film. It is a way to keep the heat on Ronnie Earle so he doesn't let up, even though his case is flimsy. After all, they have him thinking he's the star of a movie, but he knows it won't ever be shown unless he takes this thing as far as he can.
The people financing this film behind the scenes don't care if it makes money. That's not the main objective. If it makes money, or even reduces their costs a little, that's just gravy.
Just my opinion.
