Any idea where the indictments in TX are going? ["a third component of Bell's complaint. It dealt with the fundraising group Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee, or TRMPAC, to which DeLay is closely linked. A Texas grand jury last month indicted three of DeLay's political associates on charges of using TRMPAC to illegally collect corporate donations and funnel them to Texas legislative races." -- from article RT linked to]

They're still investigating, and I think that there's another Grand Jury involved. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the corproations that was indicted takes a whiff of the political landscape and rolls over on DeLay in negotiating with the prosecutors. He's vulnerable right now, and while it probably would have been suicide when the investigations first started, right now it's probably a good deal. Several of the DeLay cronies are probably going to end up in jail, but I'd be surprised if they roll over on him. Another insidious aspect of that whole thing is that practically every Republican in the legislature took money from that PAC.
I miss the days of Dolly Madison McKenna. Fucking religious right took over the Republican party back in '94 and they've been assholes ever since.
