Trump indictment follows Democratic playbook, says former House GOP Majority Leader Tom DeLay
Elliot Berke, Mr. DeLay’s general counsel when he was majority leader, said the prosecution was “an absolute travesty of justice.”
“Earle knew that DeLay would have to step down as majority leader upon indictment,” Mr. Berke said. “Even though the case was thrown out on appeal, the damage to DeLay’s political career was done.”
He added: “From what we know so far about the Trump indictment, it appears to be based on 7-year-old facts that were shopped around various prosecutors at the federal and state level – all of whom passed.”
That Mr. DeLay was eventually exonerated isn’t surprising, and it’s a caution to those who think Mr. Trump should serve prison time. The truth is, that rarely happens in high-profile political prosecutions.
