Former DeLay Aide Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy

060331rudy.jpgWitness a Republican conspiracy. This is started as another outrageous conspiracy theory, and it is now proven. This is a real right-wing conspiracy. The people involved are guilty. They themselves admit it (although some deny it up to the very last second, when they finally admit it) ... and they are going to jail. Pay attention, "ditto heads". Stop criticising and insulting people who point out suspected criminal activity by politicians. That includes conspiracy theories about the events of 9/11/2001.
"A onetime top aide to Representative Tom DeLay, the former House Republican majority leader, pleaded guilty to conspiracy today and agreed to cooperate in a widening investigation into lobbying fraud and influence-peddling

Tony C. Rudy, Mr. DeLay's former deputy chief of staff, entered the plea in United States District Court here. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Prosecutors asked that sentencing be deferred until Mr. Rudy is finished telling them what he knows.

"Guilty, your honor," Mr. Rudy, 39, replied when Judge Ellen S. Huvelle asked him how he pleaded. Mr. Rudy appeared calm and replied to questions with simple "yes" and "no" answers.

Mr. Rudy was the third major figure in the affair to plead guilty, and the first since Jack Abramoff, the powerful and wealthy Republican lobbyist, pleaded guilty to three felonies in January in exchange for a reduced sentence of about 10 years, a promise to pay tax penalties and make restitution to former clients he defrauded and cooperate with the investigation." - NYTimes
