DeLay may be indicted tomorrow

[Oilwellian]

WASHINGTON - A Texas grand jury's recent interest in conspiracy charges could lead to last-minute criminal indictments — possibly against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay — as it wraps up its investigation Wednesday into DeLay's state political organization, according to lawyers with knowledge of the case.

Conspiracy counts against two DeLay associates this month raised concerns with DeLay's lawyers, who fear the chances are greater that the majority leader could be charged with being part of the conspiracy. Before these counts, the investigation was more narrowly focused on the state election code.

By expanding the charges to include conspiracy, prosecutors made it possible for the Travis County grand jury to bring charges against DeLay. Otherwise, the grand jury would have lacked jurisdiction under state laws.

The Associated Press spoke to several lawyers familiar with the case, all of whom requested anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. DeLay, R-Texas, said Tuesday that prosecutors have interviewed him. He has insisted he committed no crimes and says Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, a Democrat, is pursuing the case for political reasons.

18. Wouldn't that look bad though?

If DeLay does go to jail he'd be a criminal. :shrug:

15. WOW, looks like somebody's going down. About time.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. I can't wait

I know I'll be bringing out the popcorn. And if DeLay says he didn't do any crimes we all know he did!

[Festivito]

19. He may be indicted, but might he be?

I certainly give my permission that he MAY. Question is might he, will statute of limitations or TX local county and state cronies follow through?

From inside another DU thread:

18. Inside Word is that DeLay Will Not Be Charged.
