AUSTIN -- Dick DeGuerin, lawyer for indicted Rep. Tom DeLay on Tuesday subpoenaed the prosecuting Texas district attorney in an effort to show he acted improperly with grand jurors.
The subpoena for Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, filed in Austin, asked that the prosecutor and two of his assistants appear in court to explain their conduct.
The lawyers, previously had filed a motion asking for dismissal of the conspiracy and money-laundering charges against DeLay, the former House majority leader who has stepped aside from that post because of the indictment.
Dick DeGuerin, DeLay's attorney, also asked that grand jurors be released from their secrecy oath so they could answer questions about the prosecutor's conduct.

The best defense is a "hammering" offense

IT'S WAR!!!!
Squeeze that worthless POS Ronnie Earle until he barfs up all the evidence of his misbehavior. He's a fraud and a disgrace to the legal profession. Let's hope there are judges in Texas who can follow the law better than Ronnie Earle.

They are also calling the movie company filming the phony baloney Earle film, the most unprofessional thing I have ever heard of in a D.A. Delay wants all the footage for evidence in his developing case against this sc*mbag.

The DA can just ignore the subpoena and get away with it. His office probably shields him from talking about this case, he would say. It doesn't matter if there is prosecutorial misconduct of office. You are talking about a Democrat.

That's true, sadly. The law doesn't seem to apply if there's a "D" in front of the name.
