Tom Delay is still free to dance naked and howl at the moon. Feds wrap it up and go home.

Ex-Rep. Tom DeLay unsurprised after DOJ ends probe

By JUAN A. LOZANO (AP) – 6 hours ago

HOUSTON — Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Monday he always knew a Justice Department probe of his ties to disgraced ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff would end without criminal charges being filed against him because he did nothing wrong.

DeLay said he wishes the investigation hadn't taken six years, but added he isn't bitter.

"I know this is the price of leadership, but it doesn't have to happen this way," the 11-term Republican from suburban Houston told reporters during a conference call. "I hope people will look at my case and decide the criminalization of politics and the politics of personal destruction is not beneficial to our country and hopefully it will stop."

Still, DeLay's legal problems are not over. He and two associates face money laundering and conspiracy charges in Texas connected to 2002 state legislative elections. A court hearing in that case is set for next week.







All that's left is a trial in Texas. I make no comment on that.

1. "Politics of Personal Destruction" is something

the GOP started mainstreaming when Bill Clinton won.
The Republicans can never accept when they lose, so they work to discredit their opponents.

2. THAT is certainly a mental image I DON'T need (searching for the brain bleach)

3. Oh, well then

I'm GLAD he's not bitter.
