Several Indicted in Texas PAC Probe
How long will it be before they finger their boss, Tom Delay?

AUSTIN, Texas - Several people and corporations — including Sears and Cracker Barrel — were indicted Tuesday on charges of making illegal campaign contributions through a political action committee formed by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.



DeLay, a Texas Republican, was not charged.


The grand jury has been investigating whether corporate funds were used illegally to help Republican candidates win elections in 2002 that gave the GOP a majority in the Texas House for the first time since Reconstruction.

3. Well, how deadly IS Delay's wrath?
Would they roll over on him to get out of jail, or would they stay silent for fear of what would happen to their families?
