Justice DeLay'd may still be justice served

Three men with close ties to U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay were indicted on Tuesday along with eight companies for illegal fund-raising activities in a political action committee formed by the powerful Texan.

Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle told reporters the investigation, not yet finished, had uncovered ominous behavior by the group.

"What has emerged is the outline of an effort to use corporate contributions to control representative democracy in Texas," he said.

DeLay told reporters in his House leadership office the indictments showed the Texas investigation "isn't about me" and said he knew of no wrongdoing. He admitted helping TRMPAC raise money, but said "I wasn't involved in the day-to-day operations."

That's what they all say. The Cheney defense.
