Prosecutors looking into DeLay vehicle purchase

Travis County prosecutors want to know how U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay purchased a 2004 Toyota Sienna, subpoenaing all records surrounding the transaction, plus telephone records from DeLay, his campaign and his daughter.

The prosecutors on Thursday subpoenaed records from Toyota Motor Credit Corp., including purchase agreements, credit documents, receipts, check copies and information on trade-in and down payment.

The subpoenas raise questions about whether prosecutors are expanding the three-year investigation into whether DeLay and his political committee, Texans for a Republican Majority, illegally laundered corporate money into campaign donations during the 2002 election.

DeLay's daughter, Dani DeLay Ferro, did consulting work for Texans for a Republican Majority, mostly organizing the committee's events.

1. Wouldn't be a used LaSabre would it?

2. Fitzgerald is known for his thorough work

We'll see what they find. What is known is that DeLay certainly paid his family well.

4. Fitzgerald? Do you mean Earle?

Because I get them confused too.

[Erika]

5. Yes, Sorry

Thanks.

[longship]

3. WooHoo! More subpoenas!

I love this war of writs that Delay began. Earle responds with shock and awe. hehehe

8. not being smart

fucking with Ronnie Earle the guy who has his fate pretty much at his fingertips-keep going Tom keep it up bro...it couldn't happen to a worse piece of shit-I've watched the house of reps operate under his leadership and really don't like what I've seen them do to democracy.Like that Thomas guy from California when he called the capital police to get dems out of the room.Conyers in a basement while they called for dozens of stupid votes-it goes on and on.I want this one guys..

21. Praise be to Pete Stark

When Thomas tried to gavel the reading of the law, Stark reared up and fought like a tiger. This was done while the Republicans called the Capitol Police to break up a meeting of the Democrats who were trying to figure out to deal with a sandbagging draft.

Stark's one of the biggest heroes in Congress today. His fight against Scott McGinnis' lie about being threatened were a high point in the history of reality.

The current Republicans are primitive thugs who will to to any length to get their way.

When voting against the IWR, Stark turned to face Hastert, and said: "the problem, Mr. Speaker, is that I do not trust this president and I do not trust his advisors".

7. How soon until he trades it for a white Bronco?

Delay is toast.
He can scream and yell and drag it out all he wants,
but the simple fact is that he's DIRTY, and everyone
knows it.

His BIZARRE actions concerning the case
clearly show a desperate man grasping at straws.
I for one am enjoying it greatly.

[yellowcanine]

9. Oh he probably bought it with the loose change he collected in the

can nailed to the floor of the closet. (Reagan survivors will recognize the Ollie North reference)

[snippy]

10. I love the drip, drip, drip of corruption in the morning. n/t

[cassiepriam]

11. yesterday his daughter, today his car. Can't wait to see what happens next

Looks like Earle is not going to miss anything. Go Earle!

[leftofcool]

12. Receipts from a prostitute maybe?????????

Wouldn't that be a hoot.........."Delay pays prostitute with Campaign monies. BHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Left of Cool

[yellowcanine]

13. Prostitutes give receipts? I don't think so.

[TygrBright]

24. Only if you pay by credit card...

>>"Prostitutes give receipts? I don't think so."<<

And more and more hookers and hooker "managers" take VISA, Amex, and MasterCard these days...

They usually pop up on credit card bills with an anonymous-sounding name like "Smith Cleaning Services" or "Eastside Business Exchange" or some other null- but respectable-seeming connotation, just in case the Missus is paying the charge bills.

However, any experienced vice investigator has a nice current list of such "convenience" IDs right at their fingertips. It's VERY hard to conceal such charges from an experienced investigator who's got a good idea what they're looking for.

hopefully,

17. My thoughts exactly, you read my mind.

Like picking up a big rock, gonna see all kinds of nasty things
crawling around.

[AlCzervik]

14. It sure looks like Ronnie Earle is on to the whole thing, the big picture

all of it, TRMPAC, the RNC and all that goes with. I have a feeling that Fitxgerald is finding the same things, looking into one crime and ends up discovering a whole bunch of other ones.

15. delay's hair says "what do i have to do to get you behind the wheel

of this used automobile?"

[yellowcanine]

16. It would be just desserts if DeLay got nailed for embezzlement like some

2-bit crook.

[MADem]

18. I am feeling nostalgic...shades of FOLLOW THE MONEY nt

[jazzjunkysue]

19. Was it worth it, Tom?

[monobrau]

22. wait till they find the whores

I just know there will be whores...

[Giant Robot]

23. Thank you Santa!!
