Well, at least I understand the underlying charge. The money came from the RNC to candidates in Texas, but they are claiming it got funneled to the RNC with specific instructions to return it to Texas, in an effort to circumvent the Texas state law.

I'm on Delay's side, but I have no idea if the charge has any legal validity. Shouldn't the RNC and RNC officials have been indicted if this transaction was illegal? Sounds like a campaign law loophole which earle wants to turn into a crime.

Also, the stuff about this causing the dems to lose the Texas Congressional delegation is absurd. But the libs pretend little things like free elections did not take place. Their "best" use of this argument was when Max Chambliss lost his senate seat for being too liberal and somehow it was the result of a republican conspiracy in the form of campaign ads.

It was legal when he did it.

The democrats did the same thing the year in question in Texas. But no inditement

That is exactly what it is.
