DELAY INDICTED: AGAIN!!!!!
Monday, October 03, 2005

Yep you are reading this correctly, Delay was indicted again by a new grand jury this time on money laundering charges. Delay is out in full force bashing Ronnie Earle again, you couldn't ask for a better day. Delay's attorneys were in court this morning trying to get the charge thrown out, later that day they were hit with another charge. So is this the smoking gun or are there more charges to come? I don't think Delay will be coming back to the House, he will not get the leadership back and his own district will vote him out of office........

Didn't expect this. More fireworks out of Austin. This time it's money laundering.

A Texas grand jury on Monday indicted U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on a new charge of money laundering.

A different grand jury whose 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 wasn't aware that there was a second grand jury looking at this stuff.

Update: It's a brand new grand jury, put into action today:

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 [...] The new charge was the first action from a new Travis County grand jury, which started its term today. Another grand jury, which ended its term Sept. 28, handed up 41 indictments in the three-year investigation.
