Grand Jury Saw DeLay Prosecutor As Lacking
WASHINGTON (AP) -

A prosecutor tried to convince a grand jury that Rep. Tom DeLay gave tacit approval to a series of laundered campaign contributions and became angry when jurors refused to indict, according to two sources directly familiar with the proceeding.

The grand jury was one of three that considered whether there was probable cause to indict DeLay. Two other grand juries did indict the former House majority leader, who had to step aside temporarily under Republican rules.

Both indictments focused on an alleged scheme to provide corporate political donations to Texas legislative candidates in violation of state law. The first indictment forced DeLay to temporarily step down as majority leader under House GOP rules.

3. It's the same as the 'anonymous sources' in Iraq that reported the same
exact pro-Bush quotes in two completely different areas of Iraq.

Made up shit that the govt tries to ram down your throat.

What was it Dean said? "I do not respond to anonymous bullshit" or something like that.

6. Two outta three ain't bad.
Besides, if they can ever get this Abramoff stuff moving, it will make the Texas campaign fund issues, which I consider to be very serious, look like the girl scouts by comparison.

DeLay is one of the bigger stinking turds in the great cesspool that is the Republican party.
