Per Fox News...
Looks like Earle is a tad bit pissed about Delay's comments about him after the first indictment. This is all so transparent IMO.
It is budget time in the Congress. I really don't know how any money for Texas can survive the political process - particularly any funds for U Texas - when a leading political figures is otherwise occupied and unable to support his state through the very difficult and tortuous budget process. HINT HINT
How does Earle get around the statute of limitations? My understanding is that it would be 3 years for money laundering.

Didn't this all supposedly happen in September of '02?
If Delay has any sense at all (and I believe that he does), he'll let this play out, have the charges thrown out in court for the withholding of exculpatory evidence, and break it off in Earle's A$$. I would own him (Earle) at the end of this process...
It depends on who you listen to....cronyism!
It is a talking point the libs are using...listen to one and you have heard them all...cronyism and cprruption/crime and the GOP!!
Actually, it is one of my areas of practice as I have a similar case right now. You need to read the following case:
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&court=US&case=/us/000/96%2D792.html
"Section 1983 may create a damages remedy against a prosecutor for making false statements of fact in an affidavit supporting an application for an arrest warrant, since such conduct is not protected by the doctrine of absolute prosecutorial immunity."
If I practiced litigation accepting as gospel without argument one case, especially one that isn't really on point, to determine how to proceed, I wouldn't be a very good lawyer. There are ALWAYS exceptions and ways around a holding.
Did Ronnie Earle ever go to law school?
I'm starting to think that when this is all said and done, that this is really going to make a great movie, I just don't think it is going to be the movie Ronnie was hoping it would be.
Earle-The Squirrel shoots another air-ball...how about some ethics charges brought up on this vindictive abuse-of-power-POS?????
Ronnie Arse Earle tried to get new indictment, was no-billed. No new charge for money laundering. But since it was on all the newspaper headlines all over the globe all weekend, the damage has already been done to us.
What a waste of taxpayer's money!
If they wanted a legitimate cause, they should go after Sen. Clinton...but they won't cause they're chicken!
