The Justice Department has ended a six-year criminal probe of onetime U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land, without filing charges. But as Andy Uhler of KUT News reports, that doesn’t mean the controversial former congressman is off the legal hook.

Ronnie Earle convened five Grand Juries in an attempt to indict Tom Delay. None of these previous five Grand Juries could so much as indict a ham sandwich, much less Tom Delay. Not to be deterred, Mr. Earle convened a sixth Grand Jury before finally finding one that gave him the indictment he was rabidly seeking.
Which makes the third time in recent memory that this partisan hack has abused the power of his elected office to exact baseless political retribution against his opposition.

Robbie, your the first to complain about illegal aliens but illegal campaign funding is ok?
When you fault Greg Abbott for his fruitless campaign fraud suits and those against the Federal Government then we'll start to take you seriously, maybe.

Robbie is right. Bob, well, maybe you should move to Maxine Waters district so you can be governed by a fine upstanding and honest Rep.

No Mac, now that we have that criminal out of the house and we are moving towards a Democratic majority in all the major cities in Texas I think I'll stay here and work on turning my rural part blue. Hope you enjoy our new blue Texas.
