Abramoff Speaks - DeLay Hears Footsteps

You gotta just love it. Not only is the Prosecutor in Texas, District Attorney Ronnie Earle investigating Tom DeLay for money laundering, but he has now issued subpoenas looking for any links between DeLay' fundraising practices and Abramoff. Chron.com is reporting: In his subpoenas, Earle asks for correspondence between the subpoenaed parties and TRMPAC; Americans for a Republican Majority, DeLay's national fundraising committee; David Safavian, the Bush administration's former chief procurement official indicted in the Abramoff case; Abramoff, former Christian Coalition director Ralph Reed and DeLay's co-defendants. Of course Delay and his attorneys still maintain that Earle is engaged in a partisan witch hunt but let's face it DeLay and every other corrupt politician in the Republican party and their aides look on politics as a means to an end not public service. And in end in their view is the almighty dollar. You may have noticed, that I singled out the Republican party. Well there is very good reason for that. Despite what you may hear about "well they all do it" and "the Democrats are involved too" championed by the MSM and their Conservative talking heads. Take a look at this article over at Media Matters, where they state [A]Media Matters for America search of the Center for Responsive Politics database of campaign contributions did not find any contributions from Abramoff to Democrats or Democratic leadership political action committees. In fact, while Democrats have received contributions from Abramoff's lobbying groups and his clients, Kornblut's statement ignores the difference between accepting contributions from groups linked to Abramoff, which is legal and proper, and taking contributions in exchange for official actions, which is illegal, and which is at the heart of the ongoing investigations. So there you go boys and girls. If Media Matters is willing to go "on record" and print that no Dems were involved, you can pretty well take it to the bank. Media Matters track record is excellent with their sources checked, checked again, and yet again.
