Breaking: Tom DeLay has been indicted
More in due course.
UPDATE — Sorry for the absence of blogging this evening. But I’ve been trying to reconcile Tom DeLay’s indictment for criminal conspiracy — see Texas Penal Code § 15.02 — with the Texas Election Code, a violation of which is the alleged predicate of the conspiracy.
I’ll have more tomorrow. But for now suffice to say the indictment stinks. Per Paul Burka, editor of Texas Monthly:
I doubt that the case will go to trial. It would be a difficult and technical prosecution.
Yes, very difficult. Especially since no crime has been committed.
