When Tom DeLay was first accused of corruption, Mark and I saw the truth of what was going on: Democrats were desperate for power and the only way they knew how to get it was to attack Republicans. They waged a phony war against Republicans, with then Majority Leader Tom DeLay as their primary target. Why DeLay? What was his crime? He was an effective Republican Leader.
The shameless, false attacks on Tom DeLay inspired us to start a blog chronicling the real corruption in D.C., which later became our first book. Mark and I never doubted DeLay’s innocence, and now, finally, six years later, the Department of Justice has finally ended its investigation of Tom DeLay, clearing him of all charges.
The Justice Department has informed former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) that the government has ended a six-year investigation of his ties to the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, according to DeLay’s lead counsel in the matter, Richard Cullen, chairman of McGuireWoods.
The investigation lasted through two presidents and four attorneys general. Its demise provides a stark footnote to the lobbying scandals that helped Democrats regain the House majority they held for 40 years and lost in the Republican revolution of 1994, which eventually made the pugnacious DeLay one of Washington’s top power brokers.
“The federal investigation of Tom DeLay is over, and there will be no charges,” Cullen said. “This was one of the longest and expensive and thorough investigations in recent memory. DeLay took a tack right from the start that he had nothing to hide, and we have been in a routine and constant dialogue with [prosecutors].
Nothing can undo the damage Democrats caused; besmirching an innocent man, knowingly and without any remorse.
Now that this chapter has ended, a new one begins, and this one will bring about the rooting out of the real corruption in Washington D.C.
