Former DeLay CoS’s payroll records subpoenaed.
A federal grand jury in Washington D.C. has issued a subpoena for the House payroll records of Ed Buckham, former chief of staff to ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX). The subpoena “is the first formal notification that Buckham is the focus of a federal corruption probe by the Justice Department.” Buckham is not the first ex-DeLay staffer to receive a subpoena recently:
In recent months, a number of ex-DeLay staffers have been subpoenaed - or voluntarily came in for questioning - by the Justice Dept. to discuss the day-to-day operations of DeLay’s office, including the role Buckham played once he left DeLay’s staff, according to several sources familiar with the investigation.

The Justice Department? Which one? The one that works for the people of the political arm of this administration? My enthusiasm is curbed at the moment.

September 21st, 2007 at 3:41 amWhen is Delay suppose to report for jail?
September 21st, 2007 at 8:35 amHow can you even print such articles without a reminder that this “justice dept.” is a CORRUPT ARM of the white house. I expect nothing to come of this… and nothing to come of Stevens ‘investigation’ Its a joke.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:41 amThe only hope I have is that the next administration is a Democratic one and they re-open hundreds of investigations and start investigating the Bush white house.
Is there any news when Delay will finally be tried for the money laundering charges? I’m aware that the conspiracy charges were dropped, but he is still indicted on money laundering (felony charge).
