CREW: DELAY MUST ANSWER FOR HIS CRIMES
“It’s a sad day for America when one of the most corrupt members to ever walk the halls of Congress gets a free pass. As we continue the work of building a Washington that is worthy of the American people, the Justice Department’s decision not to prosecute Mr. DeLay for his actions sends exactly the wrong message to current and future members. The fact that Jack Abramoff, Bob Ney (R-OH) and former Interior official J. Steven Griles are the only three people who went to prison for one of the worst corruption scandals in congressional history is shocking. The Hammer belongs in the slammer. Mr. DeLay still has crimes to answer for in Texas – generally not considered the best place to be a criminal defendant.”

Contrast this with the conviction of former IL Gov Rod Blagojevich on lying to the FBI who will be retried on the other 23 counts that the jury could not decide and the pursuit of ethics charges in the House against Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters. Let’s not forget the millions that were spend investigating the Clintons and impeaching former President Bill Clinton.
