Reply #6: He violated Texas law by routing corporate money to political campaigns. [View All]

That's not illegal in many states. But Texas has this quaint notion that corporations aren't citizens, and shouldn't be donating to political campaigns. Or at least, it had that quaint notion at the time the law was written. TRMPAC laundered money through the RNC in Washington to avoid direct contributions. DeLay is charged with conspiracy to accomplish this, TRMPAC being a political organization he created, possibly for this very purpose. It's worth noting that some of the corporations accused of making the contributions have pled guilty already.
