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.
I've posted this several times, but I think it's worth repeating. This case is like a one-way street. It's illegal to go the wrong way on a one-way street, but it's not illegal to go around the block to get where you want to go. They probably do have "stacks and stacks" of evidence that DeLay went around the block to get where he wanted to go. Guess what? IT'S LEGAL!
In Texas, corporations can't donate to individuals.
However, corporations can donate to PACs.
PACs can donate to the national committee.
The National Commitee can donate to individuals.
No corporation donated directly to the individuals (ie, drove the wrong way up the one way street.) The corporations donated to the PAC. The PAC donated to the RNC. The RNC donated to the individual races.
Earle doesn't have a case, only smoke and mirrors.
