The Hammer comes down: DeLay convicted

If Tom Delay can be convicted of money laundering, then it's time "WE" demand Wells Fargo is held to the same standards.


Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) was convicted late Wednesday in a state money laundering case, the latest stunning development in years-long battle over his role in the 2002 Lone Star State legislative races.

DeLay was found guilty on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. DeLay, who was forced to step down as majority leader in 2005 after he was indicted on the state charges, has long denied any wrongdoing.
