Balance despite wolfpack mentalility of some here
From the Washington Times [http://www.washtimes.com/national/20...02-4011r.htm]:
Mr. DeLay, the first House leader to be indicted while in office in at least a century, categorically denied any wrongdoing yesterday and bluntly accused the Democratic district attorney of Travis County, Texas, Ronnie Earle, of pursuing the case for political motives. "This morning in an act of blatant political partisanship, a rogue district attorney in Travis County, Texas, named Ronnie Earle, charged me with one count of criminal conspiracy, a reckless charge wholly unsupported by the facts," Mr. DeLay said at a Capitol Hill press conference. "This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history. "It's a sham, and Mr. Earle knows it," he said. "It's a charge that cannot hold up even under the most glancing scrutiny. This act is the product of a coordinated, premeditated campaign of political retribution, the all too predictable result of a vengeful investigation led by a partisan fanatic." Mr. DeLay accused the district attorney of abusing the power of the district attorney's office to exact personal revenge for the role the majority leader played in the Texas Republican legislative campaign in 2002 and for his advocacy for a new congressional map for Texas in 2003. "As it turned out, those efforts were successful," he said. "Over the course of this long and bitter political battle, it became clear that the retribution for our success would be ferocious. Today, that retribution is being exacted." Mr. DeLay said he had "notified the speaker that I will temporarily step aside from my position as majority leader pursuant to rules of the House Republican Conference." _______________________________________ From American Spectator [http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=8817]: By all appearances, Tom DeLay's legal fight, which prompted him to temporarily relinquish his position as House Majority Leader after he was indicted by a grand jury in Texas yesterday, is just what he says it is: an abuse of power by a politically motivated prosecutor. The accusation is that DeLay's associates at his Texans for a Republican Majority PAC, John Colyandro and James Ellis, took corporate donations to TRMPAC and forwarded them to the Republican National Committee within 60 days before an election. It is not clear either that this is actually illegal, especially if the corporate donations didn't occur after the 60-day deadline (and if they did, it's not clear why the corporations themselves aren't under scrutiny). And it really isn't clear what DeLay is supposed to have actually done as part of this conspiracy; the indictment accuses only Colyandro and Ellis of "overt acts in pursuance" of the conspiracy, and it's unusual for a conspiracy charge not to include allegations of overt acts by each defendant. |
