I don't know whether Delay is a crook or not. But I don know Murtha is one who just barely slipped by getting indicted in Abscam. You don't know if Tom Delay was a crook or not.....even after his fling with Abramoff and his indictment led to his resignation from the House? What is it you need someone to do......spell it out for you? DeLay Indicted in Texas Finance Probe washingtonpost.com Abscam? Isn't that where the FBI entrapped Congressman? Isn't entrapment illegal? "Abscam, U.S. scandal resulting from an investigation begun in 1978 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI created a front (Abdul Enterprises, Ltd., hence, Abscam) for its agents, who, posing as associates of an Arab sheik, offered selected public officials money or other considerations in exchange for special favors. The videotaped meetings resulted in the indictments (1980) and convictions of one senator and four congressmen on charges including bribery and conspiracy; another congressman was convicted on lesser charges. The FBI's tactics raised questions about entrapment, and the conviction of Florida Rep. Richard Kelly was overturned (1982)." You do know that the grand jury exonerated Murtha, don't you? asp.usatoday.com
