Texas grand jury indicts DeLay on new charge
House majority leader charged with money laundering

BREAKING NEWS

Updated: 6:10 p.m. ET Oct. 3, 2005
AUSTIN, Texas - A Texas grand jury indicted U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on a new charge of money laundering Monday, less than a week after another grand jury leveled a conspiracy charge that forced 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 a 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.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9583433/

Here is the Yahoo link if you want to vote it up:

Additional info - "The new indictment came hours after DeLay's attorneys filed a request to dismiss the case. That request argued that the conspiracy charge was based on a law that was not effective until 2003, the year after the alleged money transfers.

The judge who will preside in DeLay's case was out of the country on vacation and could not rule on the request. Other state district judges declined to rule on the request in his place, said Colleen Davis, a law clerk to Austin attorney Bill White, also represents DeLay.

It's Delay's own personal lawyer.

Money laundering. Texas Grand Jury.

[Megahurtz]

5. Well Hey!

:spray:

[Mz Pip]

6. Whoa

Is this in addition to the conspiracy charge? I had heard the DA wanted to bring other charges but couldn't because it was not in his jurisdiction to do so. Hmmmm.


Mz Pip
:dem:

[jazzjunkysue]

26. Yep. Anderson: "Both indictments are......"

For money laundering federal money. 2 different allegations from different grand jurys. The conspiracy charge isn't tough enough so they went for money laundering, too.

The lawyer says there is no conspiracy, and so this covers the screw-up for calling for conspiracy charges. Conspiracy isn't a crime, apparently in Texas.

[Alizaryn]

7. Looks like there might be a bit

of reality to the charges humm? Wonder how he will spin THIS one.

[rodeodance]

11. Abrams says it is a NEW charge of money laundering.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

20. Now according to Delay...

...this is the second weakest, most baseless indictment in American history!

And I'm sure the next one will be the third!

[halobeam]

12. Now what shall the Bushies do to divert media attention????

They are running out of distractions, they can't keep up with the fall-out...

lol and hehehe and na na nana na!:P

Somehow Money laundering gets really interesting!!!

16. It's a good thing, cause I just found this:

DeLay lawyers move to dismiss charges

A criminal conspiracy charge against U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay should be dismissed because conspiracy laws did not apply to the state election code during the 2002 election, DeLay's lawyers argued in a brief filed today.

http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/content/metro/stories/10/4delay.html

[never cry wolf]

It appears the conspiracy charge may not stick

From that article:

A criminal conspiracy charge against U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay should be dismissed because conspiracy laws did not apply to the state election code during the 2002 election, DeLay's lawyers argued in a brief filed today. The filing represents an attempt at a quick knockout of the case against DeLay, who was indicted last week by a Travis County grand jury. The term of the grand jury ended last week and a deadline to indict DeLay might have expired since then.

DeLay's lawyer Dick DeGuerin said "rumors are flying" that prosecutors were trying to find a sitting grand jury, who hadn't heard any of the DeLay case, to return a new money-laundering indictment. In a letter to Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, DeGuerin said DeLay is withdrawing his waiver of the statute of limitations to investigate him. Last month DeLay signed that waiver in an attempt to head off an indictment.

[No Exit]

72. Don't worry, DeLay's argument for dismissal is spurious

says a Texas criminal law expert:

"No effect on the conspiracy charge?
George Dix, a professor at the University of Texas law school who is an expert in criminal law and procedure, said he doesn't believe changes made to the Texas election code by the 2003 legislature have any effect on the conspiracy charge.

The penal code's conspiracy charge allows for the charge if the defendants allegedly conspired to commit any felony, including an election code felony.

Just because the election code was “silent” on the penal code provision until 2003, it doesn't mean it wasn't a valid charge before 2003, Dix said.

“To me it just says, ‘We really mean what we said implicitly before,’” Dix said."

DeLay lawyers move to dismiss charges
They argue that conspiracy law didn't apply to 2002 election code.

A criminal conspiracy charge against U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay should be dismissed because conspiracy laws did not apply to the state election code during the 2002 election, DeLay's lawyers argued in a brief filed today. The filing represents an attempt at a quick knockout of the case against DeLay, who was indicted last week by a Travis County grand jury. The term of the grand jury ended last week and a deadline to indict DeLay might have expired since then.

DeLay's lawyer Dick DeGuerin said "rumors are flying" that prosecutors were trying to find a sitting grand jury, who hadn't heard any of the DeLay case, to return a new money-laundering indictment. In a letter to Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, DeGuerin said DeLay is withdrawing his waiver of the statute of limitations to investigate him. Last month DeLay signed that waiver in an attempt to head off an indictment.

In the brief, DeGuerin argued that the conspiracy statute did not apply to the election code until the Legislature amended the law, effective Sept. 1, 2003, after the 2002 election.

In his letter, DeGuerin noted that DeLay was forced by Republican Party rules to step down as U.S. House Majority Leader while he fought the charges.

"Since the indictment charges no offense, and since you have professed not to be politically motivated in bringing this indictment, I request that you immediately agree to dismiss this indictment so that the political consequences can be reversed," DeGuerin wrote.

DeLay indicted on money laundering charge
By APRIL CASTRO
Associated Press Writer

AUSTIN — 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.

89. The Brooks Brothers Riot - Miami-Dade 2000

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2002/080502a.html

The Miami protesters who were paid by Bush recount committee were: Matt Schlapp, a Bush staffer who was based in Austin and received $4,276.09; Thomas Pyle, a staff aide to House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, $456; Michael Murphy, a DeLay fund-raiser, $935.12; Garry Malphrus, House majority chief counsel to the House Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice, $330; Charles Royal, a legislative aide to Rep. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. $391.80; and Kevin Smith, a former GOP House staffer, $373.23.

Three of the Miami protesters are now members of Bush’s White House staff, the Miami Herald reported last month. They include Schlapp, who is now a special assistant to the president; Malphrus, who is now deputy director of the president’s Domestic Policy Council; and Joel Kaplan, another special assistant to the president.

The Bush committee records show, too, that Bush’s operation paid for the hotel where the Republican protesters celebrated after the Miami riot at a Thanksgiving Day party. At the party, the activists received thank-you phone calls from Bush and Cheney, and were serenaded by crooner Wayne Newton, singing “Danke Schoen,” German for thank-you very much.

The IRS records show that the Bush recount committee paid $35,501.52 to the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where the party was held.

probably would have been thrown out because the crime happened before the conspiracy charge was added to the law. This was a second grand jury, different make up from the other, that heard the facts and brought these charges. These offenses were covered by the law in 2002, when the acts took place. Conspiracy was not added to the law until 2003.

99. Delay indicted AGAIN - this time for money laundering.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Texas grand jury has indicted U.S. Rep.
Tom DeLay on a charge of money laundering, the second indictment against the Texan who stepped aside last week as the second-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Delay's office confirmed the indictment on Monday. It released a statement in which DeLay accused Travis County, Texas, District Attorney Ronnie Earle of "prosecutorial abuse" and denied all charges.

"He is trying to pull the legal equivalent of a 'do-over' since he knows very well that the charges he brought against me last week are totally manufactured and illegitimate. This is an abomination of justice," DeLay said.

A Travis County grand jury indicted DeLay last Wednesday on a felony conspiracy charge, and he temporarily gave up his post as House Majority Leader.

128. Juanita has a lovely blast from the past....

I believe that this nation sits at a crossroads. One direction points to the higher road of the rule of law. Sometimes hard, sometimes unpleasant, this path relies on truth, justice and the rigorous application of the principle that no man is above the law.

Now, the other road is the path of least resistance. This is where we start making exceptions to our laws based on poll numbers and spin control. This is when we pitch the law completely overboard when the mood fits us, when we ignore the facts in order to cover up the truth.

Shall we follow the rule of law and do our constitutional duty no matter unpleasant, or shall we follow the path of least resistance, close our eyes to the potential lawbreaking, forgive and forget, move on and tear an unfixable hole in our legal system? No man is above the law, and no man is below the law. That's the principle that we all hold very dear in this country.

Tom DeLay, 10/9/98!
