Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's legal team asked a court Friday to throw out his indictment, arguing that a Texas district attorney "attempted to browbeat and coerce" grand jurors into filing criminal charges.
Ronnie Earle "and his staff engaged in an extraordinarily irregular and desperate attempt to contrive a viable charge and get a substitute indictment of Tom Delay before the expiration of the statute of limitations," DeLay's attorney Dick DeGuerin said in a court filing alleging prosecutorial misconduct.
Now, for some reason, I'm inclined to disbelieve any argument Tom Delay's legal team makes. But you know what? Even if they're right, I don't care. It's called what goes around, comes around.
You harassed my president and impeached him on a point of trivia (in terms of his job). You browbeat a young girl--who yeah, had made a regrettable choice--into cooperating with you. And you did it all because a multi-billion-dollar investigation led a by a special prosecutor who was, to say the least, motivated, lasted years and found our guy had done nothing illegal.
And now you want the big mean prosecutor to stop hurting your poor wittle feewings. Uh-uh. The chickens are coming home to roost.
