Delay Indicted?

[Mikey]

The OL just called and told me she heard on the radio that the #1 Congressional crook was just indicted.

Anybody heard anything about this?

[BSmack]

Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

[bray2]

FOX is reporting it now. Delay seems to be very concerned about his hair.

This won't look good on a resume.

I laughed.

[Mikey]

This is a political manuever. It will be enough to bump Delay out of his leadership position while he deals with it, though.

This prosecutor pulled the same shit on Kay Bailey Hutchison back in the 90s. Not so surprisingly, he dropped the charges before trial.

It was the final day of the Grand Jury's term. I guess they had to do something.

It's definitely political and he is definitely guilty.

[BSmack]

Guilty of what?

This won't even go to trial.

You're probably right. I'm sure he owns a few judges.

Here's my first take on this indictment (I've only read the indictment and nothing more for now):

The indictment is three pages in length. Other than a statement that "one or more" of 3 individuals, including Tom DeLay, entered into an illegal conspiracy, I can't find a single sentence tying Tom DeLay to a crime. That is, there's not a single sentence tying DeLay to the contribution. The indictment describes the alleged conduct of two other individuals, but nothing about DeLay. You would think if Ronnie Earle had even a thin reed of testimony linking DeLay to the contribution, it would have been noted in the indictment to justify the grand jury's action. Moreover, not only is there no information about DeLay committing acts in furtherance of a conspiracy, there's no information about DeLay entering into a conspiracy. I honestly believe that unless there's more, this is an egregious abuse of prosecutorial power. It's a disgrace. I understand that not everything has to be contained in an indictment, but how about something!

It's hilarious that SYNW can be so confident of a guilty verdict despite having not read the indictment, not been privy to the grand jury testimony, etc.

Why does he hate America?

The DeLay Indictment

That is DeLay's PAC, fyi. If he didn't know about it, then he's an idiot.

[Uncle Fester]

Just heard from Dr. Detroit that in addition to being indicted, Delay has been exasparated, asperated, and annihilated.

It doesn't look good.

[Mikey]

You forgot exsanguinated

[Wolfman]

I'm trying to think of a time in
my life when no politician from any
party was under some suspicion of
misdoing-----




I guess it was
never !!
isn't that shocking ??
just shocking !!!

I'm trying to think of a time in
my life when the majority leader of
either house of Congress was under
criminal indictment-----




I guess it was
never !!

just shocking !!!

I wonder if Mikey, SYNW, et al will eat crow on T1B for being so quick to believe that DeLay is guilt of anything.

My understanding of the law DeLay is being indicted under doesn't even require an overt act in order to be convicted. :roll:

And knowing how many of these "serious questions" have ended up being nothing...well, DeLay will beat this rather easily, though, I suspect the Demodummies will play it for as much as possible with their media lackeys carrying the water for them.

I would assume that the prosecutor has the goods, or else, why file?

Did I post anything that presumes he would be convicted?

Stop lying and mischaracterizing my posts, bitch.
Oh, and stfu.

Nothing but a witch hunt by the democratic DA!

[The Seer]

If this turns out to be a ploy, someone ought to take Ronnie, that disingenous piece of crap and turn him inside out.

Chuck Schummer got indicted?

About time.


When did they got rid of that 'no political threads on mainstreet' policy anyway/

[RadioFan]

When did they got rid of that 'no political threads on mainstreet' policy anyway/

Good point.

And Rack Fester.

[Mikey]

It didn't start out as a political thread. I just asked if the crook had been indicted.

But I guess we do need to keep Dio from breaking out in tears. It just tears my heart out to hear him cry the way he does.

[Terry in Crapchester]

For some reason, the fact that DeLay and his minions are labeling Earle a partisan fanatic brings pots and kettles to mind.

I was thinking more "boy who cried wolf."

[Mister Bushice]

This whole administration reminds me of when I was a kid during the Nixon years. An unpopular war, accusations and acrimony, indictments and investigations, a general feeling of mistrust and divisiveness in the country, and a president who is said to be somewhat of a megalomaniac behind closed doors. There are a bunch of similarities. Scary.

[Bizzarofelice]

On Wednesday, DeLay was indicted with two aides by a Texas grand jury, accused of flouting campaign finance laws by illegally sending corporate funds to GOP candidates in the state. Two months ago, Abramoff was arrested and charged with fraud in connection with a casino deal in Florida. On Tuesday, two employees of a company owned by Abramoff were charged with murdering the casino's former owner. Last week, the feds arrested David Safavian, who has been working in the White House, on charges of lying to investigators about a trip to Scotland with DeLay and Abramoff. Scanlon, the former DeLay aide who worked with Abramoff, is said to be cooperating with investigators, who are likely to file even more charges.

ohhhh SNAP!

[Diogenes]

And what does the fact that the same clowns who demonized Ken Starr for doing his job gloss over the track record of political prosecutions by this partsan hack bring to mind?

FTFY

[BSmack]

No alleged wrongdoing vs. Lying to a grand jury

Not sure if you are aware of this, but when a DA gets a grand jury to hand down an indictment, that pretty much means there is an alllegation of wrongdoing.

Fuckin tard.

12 of the 15 prosecutions Earl has brought against public officials have been against Democrats.

Yeah, I guess he's a partisan hack. Whenever he goes after your particular hero.

:roll:

Pay attention to the facts much?

[Mister Bushice]

but how many of those resulted in a conviction?

[SunCoastSooner]

A better subject line would be "Democrats grasp at Straws in texass".

[BSmack]

Lying about a blowjob

:roll:

Starr's investigations resulted in 14 felony convictions including the Governor of Arkansas.

That must have been quite a blowjob...

Funny, the conviction of Jim Guy Tucker had nothing to do with Whitewater or Bill Clinton.

You're giving Starr credit for catching a mess of Perch in a Bass fishing tournament.

[BSmack]

Yeah, he just managed to clip everyone around Clinton. Friends, business associates etc.

Suuuure Bubba wasn't up to anything illegal or unethical. Good thing for him he had the powers of the Presidency available to him and his wife. It sure made it easy to ignore subpoenas, stonewall the investigation and dig up dirt on political enemies.

To say this was just about a blow job is beyond even your accustomed imbecility and intellectual dishonesty.

After 50 million dollars and years of digging, the only thing Starr could pin on Clinton was that he is a serial horn dog.

Which means if his name were Arnold Schwarzenegger, you would have voted for him.
