"DeLay stepped aside as majority leader after his 2005 indictment on money laundering and conspiracy charges and resigned from Congress the following year. DeLay was under investigation for his ties to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to charges of fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to bribe public officials. Two former DeLay aides who joined Abramoff's lobbying team after leaving Capitol Hill also pleaded guilty during the wide-ranging influence peddling investigation.
The Justice Department has declined to comment on the status of the Abramoff investigation, which also resulted in prison time for Ohio Republican Rep. Bob Ney and for Steven Griles, the No. 2 official in the Interior Department for much of the administration of President George W. Bush."
I missed all the Tea Bagger rage at the corruption in government back then. Can someone send me the links to current Tea Baggers and any blogs, forum posts, etc. they might have made about their anger at this malfeasance of government from that time? I mean they get in a tizzy about two black guys in berets corrupting the sanctity of government process, so they had to be absolutely out of their minds with this high level of corruption, right? Right?
