Grand jury foreman cites "stacks" of evidence against DeLay

E-mail article Print view Search Most e-mailed Most read RSS AUSTIN, Texas — Grand jurors were presented a load of evidence, including testimony and phone records, that led them to believe Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, should be tried on a conspiracy charge, the leader of the Travis County grand jury that indicted the congressman said yesterday.
"It was not one of those sugar-coated deals that we handed to [District Attorney] Ronnie Earle," William Gibson said.
He added: "Mr. Earle has stacks and stacks of papers — evidence of telephone calls from Mr. DeLay and everybody."
DeLay has said Earle has no evidence to prove that he tried to subvert state election laws. His lawyers did not return calls seeking comments on Gibson's description of the grand-jury proceedings.

"They were all professional people. I won't say where they work, but there were state employees and federal employees."

LOL!! I'm sure the local Kinko's is a very popular hangout for the Democrats in Texas.
By all means, I welcome this trial. Between this comic skit and Saddam's trial I may actually have some interest in Greta's show in the future.
Golly, it almost sounds like old Earle manages to find an ALL government employee grand jury on the sixth try.
"grand jurors, witnesses and prosecutors who appear are required by law to respect grand jury secrecy."
Yeah --- but does that include AFTER the Grand Jury is dismissed?
I would assume that rule is valid at least until the trial is over.
Time to prosecute the paid (?) blabbermouth?
If he is 76 and in Austin chances are nearly 100% that he is an old time Democrat. Earle finally, after six tries, got the jury he wanted. Same with the judge, maybe.
I read that Delay agreed to a waiver of the statute of the limitations for this. What's up with that?
DeLay says "my defense will not be technical". IOW, he wants a clean win that can not be disputed.
Most government employees vote dimocrat, because they are voting their own pocketbooks. They want government to get bigger so their paycheck will get bigger.
Were those "stacks" in small denomination, unmarked bills?

Uh, what evidence is there that this clown was even on the Grand Jury and not just another lib blowhard generating headlines?
LOL, too true. Is there a list of the grand jury members so we can get a look at their political contributions?
BTTT
He signed the indictment, so he was there.

Informative post! - Now where is the code about a speedy trial?
It depends on which gov't agency you're talking about. I work for a large federal law enforcement agency, and I don't think there's a Dem in the agency. If there is, I sure as hell haven't met them yet.
Now, the social services agencies? That's a whole different ballgame.
If the prosecuter has "stacks of evidence" they did not manifest themselves in the indictment. Presumably stacks of evidence would contain stacks of facts that would raise reasonable questions in the minds of people and would then turn up in the paper that states the case for indictment.
