In November, Delay was also convicted on money laundering charges for violating Texas law when he used corporate donations to support his hand-picked Republican candidates. The punishment could have ranged between probation and at least 10 years in prison, what prosecutors sought. Delay argued that a long sentence is an unacceptable criminalization of politics and is expected to appeal the sentence.

DeLay sentenced to 3 years in prison, 10 years probation A Texas judge sentenced former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) to three years in prison Monday on laundering and conspiracy charges, according to the Austin-American Statesman. Judge Pat Priest gave DeLay three years on charges that he conspired to launder corporate money for use in political races. On a separate money laundering charge, the former Speaker was sentenced to five years, but that sentence was suspended in favor of 10 years of probation. The judge said that he agreed with the jury's guilty verdict, and that there is no higher principle than those who write the laws should also follow it. DeLay was immediately taken into custody, but was expected to be released after posting appeals bond. The Statesman reported that the judge cleared the courtroom so that an unrepentant DeLay could speak. GA_googleFillSlot("Raw_Embedded_300"); "I fought the fight. I ran the race. I kept the faith," he reportedly said. Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) also spoke on DeLay's behalf. Earlier in the day, Travis County prosecutor Steven Brand argued that DeLay should begin his sentence immediately. "He needs to go to prison, your Honor, and he needs to go today," he said. But DeLay's lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, told the judge that the guilty verdict alone was punishment enough. "Tom DeLay was convicted of a felony," he said. "That alone is consequence is enough." DeGuerin said that while DeLay accepted the sentence, he did not agree with it. He has promised to appeal. www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/...rison-10-years-probation/ Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

To: Brian S (#1) It's better to deal through the courts with real offenses, rather than shooting them out after the rhetoric proves unfulfilling. But I guess that's how Democrats take care of business. They could learn from DeLay's day in court; that's how you deal with people. If they are guilty of an illegal act. Not because they weren't liberal enough so they needed to be shot. I'll never understand you liberals.

October 1, 2004: The House Ethics Committee finally released its report about allegations by Rep. Nick Smith, R-Mich., that the House leadership tried to win his support for the Medicare drug bill last November by offering a $100,000 bribe. (In the end, Smith voted no.) The big news is that Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, admitted that he offered to endorse Smith's son Brad, who was running for Congress at the time, in exchange for Smith's "yea" vote on the Medicare bill. According to the Ethics Committee—more precisely, its investigative subcommittee—this is a violation of House rules and warrants "public admonishment." But it may warrant a good deal more. Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse. go65  posted on  2011-01-10   17:00:16 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #5.
