Company to aid in DeLay corruption probe
AUSTIN, Texas -- A company accused in the campaign-finance investigation that has implicated associates of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay agreed to aid prosecutors in exchange for having charges against it dropped, court papers showed.

Under the deal, Diversified Collection Services will also develop internal policies to prevent any future violations of the Texas law against using corporate money for political purposes, according to a motion approved Thursday by a state judge.

The California-based company was accused of giving $50,000 to Texans for a Republican Majority, a GOP political action committee associated with DeLay, during the 2002 campaign. The election gave the party its first legislative majority since Reconstruction.

1. Oh, happy day...
Now they can go back to harassing the recently unemployed to pay their bills and finding new ways to send the money to the RNC without anybody noticing.

"You're all repo men."

"What if we are?"

Ronnie Earle won't be intimidated. He's very methodical and gets the job done. Earle's taken on people much tougher than Delay and got convictions.
