"How can they prosecute them if they don't have the documents?"

It's not just that without the claimed evidence (in their written indictment) that Earle has no case...it's that without the evidence that he promised the Grand Jury, that Earle is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct.

Earle's going to jail.

From your keyboard to God's ears!

Ronnie may have been thinkin' it was gonna be like the Hutchinson case. That oilier "Earle"ier case was apparently so flawed that Ronnie saw fit to see it dismissed rather than take it to trial--but only after he'd gotten maximal damage possible by that moment, before exposing his shambles of a case before the court.

Taking the Delay case this far had already won Earle and his gloating buddies (e.g., Pelosi, who's seen the press all-but-ignore her "conviction" and FEC fine) the two-fer of all the Dim publicity of the Republican's presumed "air of corruption" (6,350,000 Google hits for the phrase "Republican corruption"), plus tripping the Republican planted pot-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow with Delay's removal as Majority Whip.

This time, sleuthing and events saw the truth come out just a bit too soon for Ronnie, who will surely loose his law license if not spend jail time for these actions.
