"mission from god" hmm...i had to lol

[leesum]

What is this mixing religion and politics? What about separation of church and state? Oh, it is a democrat, forget it.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I would say that it looks like Ronnie Earle is up sh*t creek without a paddle!

[alessandrofiaschi]

Ping!

Uh Earle, I have a question...

How do you explain these:

Item: Jorge Cabrerra, a convicted drug-dealer gave the Clinton-Gore campaign a $20,000 contribution. A particularly noteworthy fact since prior to making the donation he had never maintained a checking account because, as he told investigators for a federal drug task-force, "Then you need accountants, and they can rat on you." He apparently did not have the same concern about his friends in the Clinton-Gore campaign.

Item: Harry A. Falk, inmate #37628-004, currently serving a 27-year sentence for laundering drug money, told government investigators how he participated in siphoning money to DNC candidates through "straw donors." His partner, and fellow conspirator in the scheme, Duvan Arboleda, fled the country to his native Colombia to avoid prosecution. He was murdered on the streets of Cali.

Item: When, in the course of a bank fraud investigation, New York prosecutors uncovered compelling evidence that Venezuelan banker Jorge Castro Barredo made illegal contributions to the Clinton-Gore campaign, at the behest of DNC fund-raiser Charles Intriago, they notified the U.S. Attorney's office in Miami. Federal prosecutors there were set to move aggressively on what they felt was a prima facie case. But, suddenly, the Miami prosecutors got a call from Lee Radek, head of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section in Washington saying they were taking over. The result? The case languished until the statute of limitations expired, and no charges were ever brought.

Item: Johnny Chung testified that he received $300,000 from General Ji Shengde, head of Military Intelligence for China's People's Liberation Army. Gen. Ji told Chung, "We like your president."

Item: Ted Sioeng, a businessman with close ties to the communist Chinese government, as well as suspected ties to organized crime in Macao, funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton-Gore campaign through various straw donors. When congressional investigators attempted to grant immunity to his associate Ken La, the Justice Department blocked the move.

Maybe Earle forgot, or was out of town when all this happened. He may have forgot, I didn't

This man is suffering from Delusions of Grandure.

[RedEyeJack]

Is Earle trying to improve his Karma?

[dc-zoo]

Earl is a pathetic old fool who thinks he's one of the Blues Brothers.

[metesky]

I suppose Mr. Earle can show us a country that is not run by the so-called money interests... No? I didn't think so.

A faux populist looking for his fifteen minutes.

[freeangel]

When can one turn around and sue the snot out of creeps like him for frivilous prosecution, etc?

[rollo tomasi]

Ronnie Earle thy name is hypocrite.

Never heard of Willisms.com but I found this interesting:

On Ronnie Earle Raising Money For Democrats.

Ronnie Earle is at it again. The partisan Democrat District Attorney from Travis County (Austin), Texas, has, because of a quirk in the Texas law, the peculiar jurisdiction over statewide political issues, and he has persistently abused that authority over the past decade.

Earle became ignominious in Texas when he launched the politically motivated investigation of three of Tom DeLay's associates working for Texans For a Republican Majority (TRMPAC). This investigation has not produced any credible or compelling evidence of corruption, but it is widely cited by the left as evidence that DeLay is dirty.

In the ongoing controversy over whether he is an objective voice for justice or merely an arm of the DeLay-hating mob, Earle has "hammered" the final nail in that coffin.

According to The Houston Chronicle, Earle has now crossed the line into raising money for far-left interest groups:

"A newly formed Democratic political action committee, Texas Values in Action Coalition, hosted the May 12 event in Dallas to raise campaign money to take control of the state Legislature from the GOP, organizers said.
Earle, an elected Democrat, helped generate $102,000 for the organization.

In his remarks, Earle likened DeLay to a bully and spoke about political corruption and the investigation involving DeLay, the House majority leader from Sugar Land, according to a transcript supplied by Earle....

"It may help Tom DeLay establish his case that Ronnie Earle's investigation is a partisan witch hunt," said Richard Murray, a political scientist with the University of Houston.

"It clearly fuels the perception that his investigation is politically motivated. It was probably not a wise move," said Larry Noble, a former Federal Election Commission lawyer who heads the watchdog group Center for Responsive Politics."

Ronnie earl --isn't he the guy imortalized in the poorly
remade movie starring the Rock -"Walking Tall"-Ronnie Earl seems the clearly cut from the old Southern Democrat mold
Isee him as the fat little puke sherriff in Dukes of Hazzard--and similar Sherriff seen in Smokey and the Bandit
Were he not granted power and respect he does not warrant
he would be as comical as the above mentioned charicatures.

Ronnie Earle, on a Mission from God [... to prosecute Delay!]

Yea right and the Pope is not Catholic.

[t2buckeye]

Just the fact that this guy had a camera crew going around with him, setting him up as a "guy with a mission" is going to backfire big time. True prosecutors don't do this

[Beth528]

Was this in the film:Ronnie Earle, the Texas prosecutor who has indicted associates of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay in an ongoing campaign-finance investigation, dropped felony charges against several corporations indicted in the probe in return for the corporations' agreement to make five- and six-figure contributions to one of Earle's pet causes.

[Jarhead1957]

I wonder if the money was for the film crew?

[Beth528]

I guess that could be one of the jerks pet causes!LOL

Wonder when there will be an investigation on Ronnie..

[Jarhead1957]

I live in Travis County, and it will have to come from the Feds. The Yellow Dog Democrats take care of each other here.
