"But again, when this occurred, even if he did know, there were no laws against it at the time. It is my understanding that part of campaign finance laws regarding this, were written and made law years later."

Ex post facto - that is to say when a law is passed to criminalize a prior act, it's unconstitutional because of the prohibition of ex post facto in Art. I, Sec 10. I don't know the particulars of the relevant TX money laundering and campaign finance statutes, but to assert that he's being prosecuted with an ex post fact law, seems profoundly unlikely.

This is the Dims’ morale booster. They’ve been beaten pretty badly lately and my leftist friends are cheering to no end at their victory — “Finally” seems to be their common word.

And you honestly believe that would stop a dem. lawyer/prosecutor or judge? All three in hte Scooter Libby case knew far in advance who really leaked what he was being accused of leaking, yet they prosecuted Libby anyway. And allowed him to be sentenced and go to prison. Nothing these fascist prosecutors and judges do surprises me anymore.
