Ronnie Earle railroaded a ordsprog
 The investigation has been under way for over a year now, and today, the indictments were finally handed down. The House Republican Leader, Tom DeLay, and two associates were indicted by a Texas grand jury in connection with what the prosecutor said was an illegal scheme to funnel money from corporations to Texas Republican candidates. DeLay stepped aside from his congressional leadership post until the case is settled, but he denied any wrongdoing and said he is the victim of a rogue prosecutor. Here's Jim Stewart in Washington. |
| It is a shame that our grand jury system has been abused by a district attorney pursuing a political agenda. The accusations against Majority Leader DeLay are baseless, and the real concern here is the integrity of our legal system in Travis County, where illegal grand jury leaks have occurred with great regularity. |
| What happened is (majority leader) Tom DeLay put an entirely new face on Texas politics. And Ronnie Earle is trying to destroy him for it. |
| No question. It is a big blow because he is such a big player. He solidified the Republican majority. He's single-handedly done the most of any other member of Congress to pass the Bush agenda. And he's created this network of loyal Republican lobbyists. More than 200 corporations have hired DeLay staffers. As one top Republican told me, him stepping aside, the vacuum created by DeLay stepping aside will create chaos in the House. |

| [The segment opened with Kelly saying DeLay is eager for his day in court and a clip of DeLay stating emphatically] I'm innocent, and Earle (Prosecutor Ronnie Earle) knows it. ... our job is to prosecute abuses of power. |
| Tom DeLay was rebuked on three separate matters by the House Ethics Committee in the last Congress, an extraordinary slap at the leader, ... But they left open pending a fourth issue, which was the Ronnie Earle case in Texas. So what did the House Republicans do? They fire the chairman of the Ethics Committee. They removed two members. |

| Tom DeLay changed the face of Texas politics. Nobody can deny that. But Ronnie Earle wants to destroy him because of it. |
| I think this goes far broader than public broadcasting. I think across the board there is an effort by Republican ideologues to force institutions across society to bend to their will. You see it in [House Majority Leader] Tom DeLay's raising hell with the courts and demanding they pursue his brand of justice. . . . You see it in this action here. |

| We've been right all along that Ronnie Earle charged a crime that didn't exist and there's 30 years of precedent that backs that up. We want to get to trial and hope once we do, a jury will find Tom Delay didn't do anything illegal. |
| Congressman DeLay doesn't have anything to fear from whatever evidence might have been produced. The point here is Ronnie Earle is abusing his office ... to have a court declare that Ronnie Earle was abusing his office, and that is in effect what the Third Court said. |
| By pushing grand juries to issue politically motivated indictments of prominent Republicans, Ronnie Earle is trying to make it a crime to be conservative, to support an agenda of lower taxes and less government. That's un-American, |
