OT - Delay indicted *again*

Twice in a week. This on the heels of three admonishments from the house
ethics committee in the last year. How dirty can the guy be? How long
before Goldberg's knee-jerk ad hominem attack on the prosecutor?

Texas Grand Jury Indicts DeLay on New Money Laundering Charge
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- A Texas grand jury indicted 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.

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.
