1. If he gets indicted now, Georgie will pardon him
Wait until after a Dem gets in and he'll have no cover. You can't pardon someone for what he hasn't been accused of.

5. He's indicted on state charges (Texas)
If convicted, can the president pardon DeLay on a state rap?

8. If Bush couldn't pardon Delay, all he'd have to do is lean on the TX governor.

The FL prosecutor who was going after Rush Limbaugh for the Oxycontin suddenly found himself promoted, and his replacement "negotiated" one count of doctor shopping and a pat on the wrist sentence.
