WASHINGTON - A Texas prosecutor has subpoenaed outgoing and incoming calls for U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay's home phone number. 

More details to come.

Don't prosecutors do this before they get indictments?

[RobbyS]

Just meant to emphasize what you said.

-It's stunning how ill-informed people are.-

You bet it is. I'd be surprised if half the people I talk to on a daily basis even know who Tom DeLay IS.

We have a prosecutor attempting to use the powers of his office in direct contravention of the law - seeking an indictment first and then going on a fishing expedition for evidence. Sure seems illegal to me.

I think they should get Earls' phone records as well. It would be interesting to see who he has spoken too regarding his Delay indictment.

[Tarpon]

When you consider the indictments were just a few days ago, it looks mighty suspicious as an intimidation move on the prosecutors part. Surly Delay would have had a throw down phone to collaborate with his co-conspirators. I have to think that he wouldn't have been that stupid.

But Earle, that may be a different matter, I want to know more about his movie star role.

I agree. IT is really disheartening the MSM behaves the way it does.

[CyberAnt]

Don't panic .. that's common practice. Nothing to get excited about.

Now DeLay needs to subpoena the phone records of:

- Ronnie Earle's office
- the DNC
- the Texas Democrat Party headquarters

to verify the conspiracy that we all know occurred in bringing these charges. I'd love to see that.
