Ronnie Earle, Pot or Kettle?
The Washington Times, via CQ, has quite an interesting story about Ronnie Earle.
“It’s real interesting he has this crusade against corporate funds. He took corporate funds, and he’s taken union funds, for his own re-election. That’s against the law,” Mr. DeLay told The Washington Times yesterday.
A review of Mr. Earle’s campaign-finance filings in Texas shows that he has received contributions from the AFL-CIO, including a $250 donation on Aug. 29, 2000. He also has received contributions listed on the disclosure forms only as coming from the name of an incorporated entity, often a law firm.
Captain Ed:
The Democrats will find that DeLay season has just about concluded, but the hunting of Earle will continue. Texans will want to know how much of Earle’s efforts really came from his own initiative, or whether Earle’s grand-jury shopping for indictments came from a coordinated national campaign to smear DeLay. That might result in a conspiracy indictment for Earle, one which could have more basis in law than the pathetic indictment he first tried to pass off.
