CHUCKAQUIDDICK: LOOK WHO'S PAYING THE TAB Michelle Malkin ^ \| October 04, 2005 \| Michelle Malkin The New York Times still hasn't published a word about the Democrats' credit report dirty trick involving two of Chuck Schumer's former employees. Investor's Business Daily editorializes today on Schumer's plumbers and the lack of national media coverage: One would think a potential felony by staffers for a top Democrat — a case being investigated by the U.S. attorney's office in D.C. as well as the FBI — would at least get a paragraph of coverage somewhere between the grocery coupons and the obituaries. Can you imagine the media firestorm if staffers for, say, Frist, had used Barack Obama's Social Security number to fraudulently obtain his credit report looking for stuff to derail his Senate campaign? Frist would have been before a media firing squad faster than you can say Bill Bennett. Indeed. Newsday, to its credit, has been advancing the story. On Sunday, the paper disclosed some interesting facts: The two women at the center of the FBI probe have been keeping a low profile. Both have resigned from the committee. [Katie] Barge and [Lauren] Weiner declined to comment through their lawyer, William Lawler III, the ex-president of the Washington, D.C., bar association who represented former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey during his 2004 sex scandal. The DSCC is picking up the tab for Lawler, who charges as much as $400 an hour. (Excerpt) Read more at michellemalkin.com ...

Mr. DeLay and two political associates were first indicted Sept. 28 on a charge of a criminal conspiracy to violate campaign-finance laws and then were indicted by another grand jury Monday on the two money-laundering charges. But in between, Mr. Earle, the district attorney for Travis County, Texas, tried but failed to get still another grand jury to indict Mr. DeLay, apparently on money-laundering charges. "We have inquired carefully into the case... and in this said matter, we have failed to find a bill of indictment against him," the grand jurors said in their "no-bill" statement regarding Mr. DeLay and two political associates. Also yesterday, the foreman of the first grand jury, which returned the campaign-finance conspiracy indictment, said yesterday that his vote to indict was based on TV commercials that he disliked and were run by a Texas business group in 2002 and not on any evidence presented to the grand jury.
