31. I agree with Mr.Green93 (post #4)
It absolutely means DeLay is not going to be indicted in the illegal corporate finance case in Austin, TX. It was going to be a stretch anyway to get DeLay. His other cronies may still be convicted, they're the ones that have been charged already. The main reason District Attorney Ronnie Earle could not file a charge against DeLay was that he does not have the jurisdiction over DeLay. The crimes he is trying can be proved to have occurred in Travis and each of the defendants charged have legal residences or leased apartments to give him that jurisdiction. It was always going to be tough to hang it on DeLay even if he is a crook. Earle just doesn't have jurisdiction on DeLay directly, he's not the State Attorney General and our State Attorney General is a repuke who wouldn't go after DeLay no matter what.

Justice will prevail some day, and DeLay will get his jail term sometime in our life time.
