Ed Morrissey at Hot Air is reporting today that the Department of Justice has completed its six-year investigation into Tom DeLay's relationship with corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff and found that there were no valid charges against Tom DeLay.
The article reports:
"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."
Regardless of what you think of Tom DeLay, this whole lawsuit was an example of the Democrats using the Department of Justice for political purposes. Tom DeLay's political career was destroyed and the charges against him were used to defeat his political party in an election. There was no substance to the charges, but they were still used very effectively against Tom DeLay and the Republicans.
The outcome of this case should make us all think very carefully before we vote in November. The time has come to believe very little of what you see and less of what you hear. Do your own research, draw your own conclusions, and vote carefully.
