Emails may show DeLay role in illegal fundraising case

RAW STORY

A series of memos in the case against ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay would seem to indicate that the powerful Republican had firsthand knowledge of the illegal activities engaged in by the political action committee he founded in Texas, RAW STORY has learned.

The memos were circulated last week on Capitol Hill, and posted by bloggers Thursday.

Several of the memos identify DeLay as a leading player in the committee's activities. Perhaps the most damning indicates that DeLay wanted to see a list of attendees for an event paid for by corporate donors that is under investigation.
