Excerpts from an Associated Press report by Larry Margasak and Suzanne Gamboa:

A prosecutor tried to persuade a grand jury that Rep. Tom DeLay tacitly approved illegal use of campaign money and became angry when jurors decided against an indictment, according to two sources directly familiar with the proceeding.
“The mood was unpleasant,” one source said Wednesday, describing prosecutor Travis County prosecutor Ronnie Earle’s reaction…
One source said the sole evidence Earle presented to the grand jury that declined to indict was a DeLay interview with the prosecutor in August. DeLay reportedly said he was generally aware of activities of his associates.
The source said Earle tried to convince the jurors that if DeLay “didn’t say, ‘Stop it,’ he gave his tacit approval.”
