Travis County District Attorney, Ronnie Earle (D) has prosecuted 16 politicians : twelve democrats and four republicans. He successfully prosecuted a state treasurer, a House speaker, a state Supreme Court justice and several legislators – all Democrats. Republicans cite his case against Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison as example of partisanship. When the Democratic judge ruled computer records inadmissable, Earle dropped that case. He has a 91 percent conviction rate in jury trials.
•US Rep. Tom DeLay on Earle - "partisan fanatic" and "a runaway district attorney
•Rep. Henry Bonilla (San Antonio) - "a partisan crackpot"

I dismiss the local crap and hope saner heads prevail at higher levels. BUT, any prosecution should include Democrats who are just as, or more, guilty.
