More On DeLay's Re-Indictment

"But a source close to the investigation, who requested anonymity, noted that Earle told reporters last week his investigation was continuing, and asserted that Earle had intended to bring these charges even before the challenge raised by DeLay's lawyers."

This sounds like a big fat lie. If Earle "intended" to bring money laundering charges, then why didn't he do it with the first grand jury instead of dancing a scrambling Texas two step to find a newly sworn in grand jury to re-indict DeLay within hours after DeLay's lawyers filed a motion
to have the conspiracy to violate campaign law
charges dismissed?

If DeLay has committed crimes, then he needs to be held accountable. But, if Earle is inventing crimes, grasping at straws, and trumping up charges, then Earle needs to be held accountable for prosecutorial abuse of power.

Abuse of power exacted through indictments that amount to little more than political vendettas.
