During the meeting at his Capitol office, DeLay conferred with James W. Ellis, the head of his principal fundraising committee in Washington and his chief fundraiser in Texas. Ellis had earlier given the Republican National Committee a check for $190,000 drawn mostly from corporate contributions. The same day as the meeting, the RNC ordered $190,000 worth of checks sent to seven Republican legislative candidates in Texas.

And? Where's the crime? This is pefectly legal. I assume (since RNC was able to cash the checks), the contributors knew they were contributing to the RNC. The DNC does it too -- it's the soft-money loophole. So now they're going to call it money laundering ... in which case the evidence is going to have to prove there was an intent to break the law. What law?
Right or wrong -- it's SOP, and the records are public.
