"Try this instead of the media:" I looked at it yesterday. It states that DeLay, Ellis and Colyandro entered into a conspiracy to take money from corporate contributors and funnel it into Texas elections, a violation of Texas law. While Colyandro and Ellis made the contacts and did the actual work, DeLay was involved in the planning. The planning is implicit in the part that reads "did enter into an agreement with one or more of each other" and so on. So what he did wrong was plan with the other two how to circumvent Texas law. Which is illegal when actually carried out. You cannot sit down with some people and draw up a plan to knock over ATM machines and then, when the guys actually do it and get caught say "I didn't actually do anything so you can't arrest me", because they can. You might make the claim that you didn't know they were actually going to do it and that might fly. But, may be not. In this case, DeLay cannot even claim that he didn't benefit from it, because he did. It helped him achieve a goal he had been working towards for a while.
