DeLay Won't Face Charges as Justice Department Ends Probe

WASHINGTON—The Justice Department has ended its six-year criminal probe of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay without filing criminal charges.

One of Mr. DeLay's lawyers, Richard Cullen, said Monday that the Justice Department's public-integrity section informed Mr. DeLay's legal team early last week that it was ending the investigation of the former lawmaker's ties to onetime lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

"Six years is a long time, and I'm sure he wishes it had happened years ago," Mr. Cullen said of the investigation's conclusion.

Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney declined to comment, which is normally the case when the department ends a criminal probe without filing charges.

==============================================================

State charges still pending, but you've got to believe that with this, it makes the state case a whole lot weaker.

SUCK IT, DUmmies.

IIRC those state charges are pretty weak and the prosecutor basically had to shop around for a friendly grand jury to even get the indictments against Delay.

Correct.

And the idiot trying to bring down DeLay in Texas is Ronnie Earle.
