to read.

The point is that he could have taken a misdemeanor and kept his job in congress. He turned it down for the second time. This sounds like someone who is innocent to me. We will see.

I read the link. It gives me the impression they have something on the man and from the prosecutor’s standpoint, They’re just working on the best way prosecute.

Why would the prosecutor be offering an innocent man plea bargain if he’s innocent?

The DA in your town doesn’t just walk the streets offering innocent people plea bargains for fun does he.

Actually it's the opposite of what your saying. If the prosecutor had good evidence on DeLay they wouldn't be offering a plea bargain. Plea bargains are offered when evidence is slim and the outcome of a trial could go either way. An exception to this would be because the courts are very busy and they just want to clear up the case load. It would be highly doubtful that they would do that with a high profile case like this.

Consider things from Delay's point of view. If he did something wrong and thought he would be convicted of it he would take the plea bargain. He could keep his job and all this would blow over. However he decided not to take the plea bargain and lose his position in congress. This is why I say it sounds like he is innocent. I am not saying he is innocent but that it looks like it. We well see.

Actually, that's just what I'm saying.
They know he did something and are not sure how to make it stick. So they offer a plea.
If they thought he did nothing at all, actually, truely innocent. this would be a non conversation.

Or one other option would be an over zealous prosecutor or judge. DeLay is a very effective leader and fund raiser for the Republicans. The Democrats would love to get him out of the picture. The same way they did with Newt G. As I said we will see.
