It would be interesting to know how this "evidence" escaped the eye of the previous grand jurys.
I guess we need to know more about Willian Gibson...
Whose going to indict the Grand Jury Forman? The @hole shouldn't be talking..I thought.
Hmm. What are the penalties for breaking Grand Jury secrecy? Who has the power to bring charges? Ronnie Earle, I suppose. Anyone else?
"Stacks of evidence" are easy enough to bring forward. Anyone could bring in boxes of old phone bills, telephone books, etc. But is any of this "evidence" sufficient to meet the usual standards for bringing charges, i.e., sufficient to convict?
"Mr. Earle has stacks and stacks of papers"
I can get stacks and stacks of papers right off my desk too!
So what?
I wonder which stacks they were reviewing -- the twenties or the C-notes?
The things everyone should keep in mind are:
1. The grand jury only gets presented one side of the case, the prosecutor's side.
2. The grand jurors are ordered by the judge to maintain secrecy, so the judge should hold Gibson accountable for disobeying his orders/instructions.
Forget the law.. turn the GJ into a total Texas Circus
It's starting to become obvious that Earle and this bozo, Gibson know they don't have a snowball's chance in hell with getting a conviction for their masters down at the DNC. They are playing this up in the Liberal "media" hoping to fatally wound Delay before they get their goatsmellin' asses thrown out of court.
Gibson is a retired sheriff's deputy, accding to the Statesman. Seems like he'd know better than to run his mouth about a grand jury proceeding. He's 76.
He added: "Mr. Earle has stacks and stacks of papers — evidence of telephone calls from Mr. DeLay and everybody."
Well, isn't that special! That is a stupid statement! I wonder if the stacks and stacks of papers are from a late night Kinkos run!
Are these calls recorded?
Also, who is everybody? All the people in TX?
Sounds like ex-sheriff Gibson might be a good ol'boy,(F.O.E.) friend of Earle's!
I think Gibson and Earle need to be "(Bill)Burketed".
If Freeper's can take down Rather, I am sure we can easily get the goods on Gibson! :)
IMHO, it appears Earle has little solid evidence of a crime. If he did, Mr. DeLay's name would be more prominent in the indictment.Looks like they have decided to try Mr. DeLay in the court of public opinion, seeking to inflict maximum damage with minimal evidence.
I trust Mr. DeLay and his lawyers will stand up to these specious attacks.
Mr. Gibson, you are breaking the oath you took. Sit down and STFU!
Six previous grand juries didn't find enough evidence, yet this bozo thinks they have enough to convict DeLay. Wonder how many "See BS" type documents are included?
This is Travis county, the one blue cancer on the 2004 election map in Central Texas. It is also home to the likes of Dan Blather's daughter, Willie Nelson, Cactus Pryor, and hundreds other Yellow Dog DUmbocRATs stuck in the 1960s. I think ronnie the pos pig earle had some of these hippies on the GJ.
Got that right. It was a load of horsehockey that required creative methods to find one thing that could be twisted to include and 'indict' DeLay.
Little evil prosecutor man, Captain Ahab on a DNC mission, knew that getting this harpoon in would force DeLay to follow the procedure of stepping aside. Next come the media sharks who've smelled some blood and are ready to assist in the final 'kill'. All they have to do is paint a formulaic word picture: DeLay=Corrupt As Nixon and take it from there.
They won't succeed in the silly endeavor, however; the only thing they've achieved is once again putting their own putrid political corruption in the spotlight.
This guy could be indicted for squeeling.
LOL Stacks of it huh then why did it take 6 grand juries and why did u indict on a charge a first year law student can beat
The stacks of evidence are probably New York Times articles, or Ronnie Earl screwed up on a Google search and instead of typing "delay" he typed "deny" and got a boatload of Clinton documents.
