Subpoenas aim to find DeLay role with PAC

AUSTIN -- A slew of subpoenas released Wednesday show Travis Country prosecutors are trying to determine how deeply involved U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was in the possible criminal misuse of corporate funds in the 2002 legislative campaign.

Nearly 50 subpoenas -- some issued Tuesday and others dating back to last October -- were made public as part of the ongoing investigation into Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee formed by DeLay, R-Sugar Land.

The subpoenas seek testimony and documents from the committee's researchers, political consultants and fund-raisers, including DeLay's daughter, Danielle Ferro.

John Colyandro, director of the fundraising committee commonly referred to as TRMPAC, was subpoenaed to appear last month and bring "all documents concerning TRMPAC's past, present or intended relationship with Tom DeLay." Colyandro has said that all of TRMPAC's activities were legal.

Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle is investigating whether TRMPAC violated state law in using corporate funds to help 21 Republicans win Texas House seats in 2002, giving the GOP a House majority for the first time since Reconstruction.<snip>

It's not a conspiracy, it's way beyond that. When so many people are involved it takes very little bad behavior on the part of each individual and wrongdoing is extremely difficult to prove. And Republicans are so rotten to the core they don't even need Tom DeLay to tell them what to do--they'll do it automatically.

Oh, well, I hope they can do something to stop the BFEE!

I hope they get this ignorant bully. He has way to much power for so very little morality or brain. He is a wicked, stupid man.
