Sniff.....sniff.......sniff Do I smell a cooked DeLay?


From Talking Points Memo

September 27, 2005 -- 09:04 PM EDT // link // print)

AP: "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."

If Tom goes down....I think the whole Syndicate is going down with him...

2. I will settle for Tom for the moment. The political fallout for Bush et
al would be lovely.

He must have a file on every kink in Congress.

9. I think DeLay will sing to save his miserable ass.
If he gets indicted, this could quickly spill over to the Abramoff Sun Cruz scandal....I see Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Bob Ney getting sucked in. You still have Rove with his own problems with Plame. Hastert has got some dirt on him. Who really knows had deep and far this could go?

I really don't see DeLay taking one for the team...he'll be fingering everyone if he thinks he'll be the fall guy.

10. I'll get some Bar-B-Q sauce!
Let's have a pig roast!

That's one unkosher meal that I look forward to.
