13. Yes, he's still out and still living it up and they are all meeting again for mischief.

Jan 2013

Also dated 2011. Huffpo has been redating old article, probably automatically. Third post in a week.

Delay has not sentenced again to 3 years. He has been on bail all this time while his case is going through appeal. DeGuerin has filed to have it dismissed and the jurisdiction has been moved from the previous judge. He has not served a day.

He is not in prison, we hashed this story out with people in Texas months ago when Huffpo did this same thing with the story. It's hard to find anything about the case now, but the way Huffpo is presenting these I understand the confusion.

That we keep doing this knee jerk reaction here is sad because we're being made fools of here. Not in prison now, or anytime soon.

Not that he doesn't deserve prison for his staging of the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000 to halt the vote and steal the election for Bush. That is his biggest crime as it was a violation of the CFR on federal employees interfering in elections. And we saw what havoc 8 years of Bush did to the nation and the world.

He also abused DHS authority while in D.C. to bring Texas Democrats back to face what may have been illegal redistricting for the 'permanent Republican majority' he bragged about creating and that Grover Nordquist still counts on. He crossed so many lines and never paid for it.

EOM.
