For five years, the case against Tom DeLay for money laundering through his Texans for a Republican Majority PAC has been seemingly trapped in the Texas courts facing pre-trial appeals. On November 1, it finally made it to trial and today the verdict is in: guilty on both money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The slightly-less-than-humble DeLay lost his majority leadership in Congress after the indictment came down, but he has maintained his claims that this case was politically motivated throughout the entire process right up to defense attorney Dick DeGuerin's closing arguments.
The jury clearly didn't buy his argument and now DeLay is potentially facing life in prison on money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering charges. DeLay is accused of channeling $190,000 in corporate money through his Texans for a Republican Majority PAC in 2002 to aid GOP candidates.
My youngest grandson told his father that wtf meant welcome to facebook (when he was told to watch his language).
The Austin news said the jury couldn’t come to a decision until the judge told them he’d make them stay through the holidays. Pronto, a guilty verdict.
They showed the jury leaving and many were long haired hippie freaks past their prime. Typical Austin. Can you say liberals?
Very true. and if he ever serves one day in prison, he will have been a political prisoner.
please post me a link to this “fact”. I am in an argument with moronic lib...
And Hillary still walks free after committing the greatest campaign finance fraud in history.

Delay is screwed. The republican “leaders” are all too much like George “Let’s just move along and put this behind us” W. Bush. All of a sudden you won’t find many who will even admit to knowing Delay. And those who do comment will say “We need to put this behind us and move forward in a bipartisan way.”
What is he accused of doing? The above article makes it sound like he had money in his PAC and he gave it to other GOP candidates who were running. Is that right?
So, donors gave to him because he was a big name. That sounds like that part of it was OK.
The bad part appears to be that he shared the wealth with others.
Forgive me, but I always thought that's the way it worked. I'm still trying to figure out what about that strategy makes it wrong/illegal.
I am Stunned and Angry at this Railroading of Tom Delay. God Help him, Rescue him, and Grant him Victory on Appeal.
Until there is civil war, nothing changes. We have let the communists get the upper hand, and the slightest infraction, or even a perceived or “deemed” infraction will be punished all out of proportion. Think Nazi Germany, or Stalin’s Russia,or Pol Pot’s Cambodia,or etc. I am probably too old to be of much use, but I would sure like to see my country resurrected for my children and grandchildren’s sake before I leave here. I have lived long enough to see history repeating itself, and I don’t like what I see.
99 years potential sentence for a victimless crime, that wasn’t even a crime when it supposedly took place? What about nearly ALL the people in the current administration? I know, I am preaching to the choir here, but I need to vent.
A real pubby president would never have allowed this to happen. George W. Bush is a wimp and a turkey.
No.
This has nothing to do with next year’s redistricting. DeLay isn’t even a congressman any more.
In case you are not familiar with what happened in the unorthodox but very successful mid-term redistricting in Texas in 2003, read here about DeLay’s role: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Texas_redistricting#2000.E2.80.932003_evolution_and_DeLay.27s_role
It was a spectacle, and he played a major part in it. I’ve always felt that Earle’s charges against DeLay were part payback for this effort.
Just telling you the truth, a little history. DeLay made some powerful people angry. I watched it unfold. You can disregard me if you want, but it won’t change the truth.
Huh?
You can’t be serious.
You must know that Presidents don’t make state law. Right? And Presidents don’t control local district attorneys, especially those with an ax to grind. Right?
Sarcasm, right? Giving you the benefit of the doubt.
There’s a law about corporations not being able to give money to candidates. Yeah, like, whatever. Supposedly, he took the corporations’ donations and then wrote out checks to the candidates for similar amounts. They are going to appeal it because the law at the time said the candidates couldn’t be given the money by “cash” but it didn’t put any stipulation on “checks” but the prosecution will come back claiming checks are the same as cash. Another option is that the law has since changed on who can give donations so that however money exchanged hands isn’t illegal under today’s law but the prosecution will come back with it was the law at the time the act was committed.
There wasn’t any proof he’d done anything but the judge told the jury not to decide on “proof” but on “intent.” When the jury still couldn’t come to a decision, the judge told them they’d have to work through the holidays so they quickly voted guilty and went home for the turkey.
Look up the word “Pardon” in a dictionary... In W’s place I’d have issued a blanket pardon for DeLay for any and all “crimes” which Ronnie Earle might have ever charged him with.
I agree.
I hope Delay wins on appeal.
This is injustice. I hate those democrat socialist vermin . I hate what democrat socialist vermin have done to Delay and what they have done to America.
