We all ready know questions have been raised about Ronnie's drug usage. Can DeLay subpeona Earle's medical records to see if Ronnie has ever been institutionalized?

[TXBubba]

"It seems to me he should have been doing it the last three years. Now is a little late to start checking on his evidence," White said.

Earle was too busy making the movie then.

They should add also all Elvis records to get the complete picture of this series violation of recording rights.

THREAD TITLE CORRECTION:

Prosecutor Ronnie Earle Subpoenas Tom DeLay's, & Alleged Related Parties', Phone Records

[sgtbono2002]

Earle is on a fishing expedition.

[George Smiley]

Somebody should subpoena Earle's email and phone records.

His picture needs to be in the dictionary by the entry for "malicious prosecution" or perhaps "Ahab-esque"

[Raycpa]

Wouldn't one normally do an investigation before the indictment?

[Jarhead1957]

Seems he is out there looking for the new evidence he presented to the last Grand Jury. Sarc/

[CindyDawg]

That's fine. Now subpoena his. Let's see who he's been talking to.

[PAR35]

Kind of late in the game to go fishing. Earle must be mighty worried about his weak case.

[TheBattman]

Did I just see a story on FoxNews in the last 24 hours or so that indicated that this same prosecutor has a son who just announced that he will be running for DeLay's seat?

Can anyone say conflict of interest?

Or am I confusing something else?

[Arrowhead1952]

Time for the DeLay team to jump into this mess and see how many calls earle and/or his office made or got from the DNC, and RAT senators or reps.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

Even here in Austin there are asking questions about Earle's "fishing" for a Grand Jury that will return an indictment. They went thru 10 before he got one!

Also his movie making is unethical at best in documenting this. This smells like public brainwashing is coming up thru his movies.

The Democrats in Austin are getting nervous about his methods. They may be crazy but they're not stupid.

* * UPDATE * *

Delay spokesman Kevin Madden called the subpoenas "both odd and desperate at the same time."

"This is a baseless investigation that is over three years old, and only now Ronnie Earle is issuing subpoenas? It's a ridiculous stunt to try and cover up the fact that Ronnie Earle's partisan investigation has turned into an embarrassment for him," Madden said in a statement.

DeLay attorney Bill White of Austin said there's "nothing much" to the subpoenas, calling them an effort by the prosecutor to "see if we can run down some calls that for some reason would make him (DeLay) look bad."

* * UPDATE * *

The subpoenas for telephone records — which go to the companies that have the records in custody — give the telephone numbers but no other identifying information.

Calls to the numbers found that one is for DeLay's congressional campaign office. Another's voice mail indicates it belongs to DeLay's daughter. A third was answered by a woman who said the listing is for a software distributorship in the same building in which DeLay has an office. In addition, the Associated Press reported, one of the numbers is for DeLay's home.

This has gone on far too long. Earle either needs to pony up actual evidence of criminal misconduct or be forced to shut his investigation down. I can't believe the Texas AG is allowing this witchhunt to continue.

[goldstategop]

He's trying to find evidence of hanky-panky. Earle is getting desperate.
