Indicted Rep. Tom DeLay appeared moments ago on Tony Snow’s radio program. Referring to prosecutor Ronnie Earle, DeLay said , “I know that he extorted the corporations he indicted,” a reference to the deals Earle made with several corporations in which Earle dropped indictments against them in return for corporate contributions to one of Earle’s favorite causes. Asked if he believed Earle had broken the law, DeLay said, “If he didn’t break the law, it’s certainly unethical.” Asked if he would take some sort of action accusing Earle of misconduct, DeLay said, “Right now, I’m involved in trying to beat an indictment. I’m sure other people are looking into this.”
