O krijues i madh, në se je, më thuaj:
A ka atje sipër ndonjë (qoftë ose jo kongresmen) që rron me paratë e djersës së 
tij?
Në se ka, më thuaj. Të lutem, më përfill dhe përgjigjmu!
Përgjigjmu se më duket sikur e meritoj. Nuk dua para. Përgjigje dua.
Të puth dorën!
N.

Jury Convicts DeLay in Money Laundering Trial
AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 24) -- Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay - once 
one of the most powerful and feared Republicans in Congress -- was convicted 
Wednesday on charges he illegally funneled corporate money to Texas candidates 
in 2002.

Jurors deliberated for 19 hours before returning guilty verdicts against DeLay 
on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He 
faces up to life in prison on the money laundering charge.

After the verdicts were read, DeLay hugged his daughter, Danielle, and his wife, 
Christine. There was no immediate comment from him or his attorneys.

  
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was found guilty of illegally funneling 
corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002.

Prosecutors said DeLay, who once held the No. 2 job in the House of 
Representatives and whose heavy-handed style earned him the nickname "the 
Hammer," used his political action committee to illegally channel $190,000 in 
corporate donations into 2002 Texas legislative races through a money swap.

DeLay and his attorneys maintained the former Houston-area congressman did 
nothing wrong as no corporate funds went to Texas candidates and the money swap 
was legal.

The verdict came after a three-week trial in which prosecutors presented more 
than 30 witnesses and volumes of e-mails and other documents. DeLay's attorneys 
presented five witnesses.

Prosecutors said DeLay conspired with two associates, John Colyandro and Jim 
Ellis, to use his Texas-based PAC to send $190,000 in corporate money to an arm 
of the Washington-based Republican National Committee, or RNC. The RNC then sent 
the same amount to seven Texas House candidates. Under Texas law, corporate 
money can't go directly to political campaigns.

Prosecutors claim the money helped Republicans take control of the Texas House. 
That enabled the GOP majority to push through a Delay-engineered congressional 
redistricting plan that sent more Texas Republicans to Congress in 2004 - and 
strengthened DeLay's political power.

DeLay's attorneys argued the money swap resulted in the seven candidates getting 
donations from individuals, which they could legally use in Texas.

They also said DeLay only lent his name to the PAC and had little involvement in 
how it was run. Prosecutors, who presented mostly circumstantial evidence, 
didn't prove he committed a crime, they said.

DeLay has chosen to have Senior Judge Pat Priest sentence him. He faces five 
years to life in prison on the money laundering charge and two to 20 years on 
the conspiracy charge. He also would be eligible for probation.

The 2005 criminal charges in Texas, as well as a separate federal investigation 
of DeLay's ties to disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, ended his 22-year 
political career representing suburban Houston. The Justice Department probe 
into DeLay's ties to Abramoff ended without any charges filed against DeLay.

Ellis and Colyandro, who face lesser charges, will be tried later.

Except for a 2009 appearance on ABC's hit television show "Dancing With the 
Stars," DeLay has been out of the spotlight since resigning from Congress in 
2006. He now runs a consulting firm based in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land.
