Grand Jury Indicts DeLay PAC

From Yahoo News:
A grand jury has indicted a political action committee formed by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and a Texas business group in connection with 2002 legislative campaign contributions.

The five felony indictments against the two groups were made public Thursday. Neither DeLay nor any individuals with the business group has been charged with any wrongdoing.

The charge against Texans for a Republican Majority alleged the committee illegally accepted a political contribution of $100,000 from the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care.

Four indictments against the Texas Association of Business include charges of unlawful political advertising, unlawful contributions to a political committee and unlawful expenditures such as those to a graphics company and political candidates.
Emphasis added.

Expect another round of nonsense from the left. Anybody remember what sort of outrage erupted from the left about this? All I remember was some silence...

Let me be clear...should this PAC be found guilty by a fair and impartial jury, then the PAC should face whatever penalty the fullest extent of the law can be applied. Republicans don't get a free pass from me on this stuff.
