AUSTIN, Texas - A Texas grand jury on Monday indicted U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on a new charge of money laundering.
A different grand jury whose six-month term ended last week indicted him on a conspiracy charge, forcing DeLay to temporarily step down as House majority leader.
Both indictments accuse DeLay and two political associates of conspiring to get around a state ban on corporate campaign contributions by funneling the money through the DeLay-founded Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee to the Republican National Committee in Washington. The RNC then sent back like amounts to distribute to Texas candidates in 2002, the indictment alleges. ....
I am saddened and dismayed at the wanton disregard for the law that seems to be playing in DC. As an American, I am embarrased at how we present ourselves to the world

Too many of our officials see the law as an obstacle to be gotten around, rather than guideposts to be followed.

Wait tiol the old geezers on the right are faced with the Bush, Cheney, Libby, Rove et al indictments! Althgough Fitzgerald is most likely torn between whether or not to indict Bush or just name him as in unindicted co-conspirator.
Nothing like having your own lawyer on SCOTUS when you fight whether or not a sitting president can be indicted.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Spiro Agnew was a law and order man. Following his term of office he began a speaking tour of the United States and later recanted his confession saying he was pressured into the whole ordeal in order to take the heat of Nixon and the Watergate investigation.
