Earle says the new indictments were the result of
additional information coming in over the weekend. One could interpret that to mean more of Delay's cronies are flipping to save their own skins. Or one could say he's making it up and he's just a partisan hack. I know which one the dittoheads will believe.
Others have mentioned the large Democrat component of his indictment record. Not receiving as much attention is the fact that he actually
indicted himself in 1983 for campaign finance violations. (He discovered his campaign made a reporting error the previous year, and the only way to pay the fine was to get the offense on the official record, so he charged himself and paid the fine.) Sounds a lot more like someone who has honest respect for the law than a partisan hack.
Of course the dittohead response to this will undoubtedly be that it was all a ruse on his part to make it
look like he's an honest prosecutor, so that he could lie in waiting and launch his evil plan against Hutchison 10 years later, and DeLay 20 years later.
Finally, the mere fact that DeLay has come out with fangs bared strongly suggests that he's in trouble, otherwise why not just sit back and let the facts exonerate him?
