Tom DeLay's Attorney Subpoenas Prosecuting Attorney; We Don't Know Why, But Whatever
Topic: Texas News

In an attempt to stop himself from ever having to go to trial, Tom DeLay had his attorney subpoena the lead prosecutor and two prosecuting attorneys about possible misconduct with the grand jury that indicted DeLay late last month. And now the two sides are at odds on whether or not the subpoena was even received.

Serving someone means that they have to physically take the paper in their hand. However, DeLay's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, seems to think someone has to sign for it. While that would be a first for such a document, DeGuerin doesn't care and is pissed, PISSED I TELL YOU, that DA Ronnie Earle didn't sign the paper that came with the subpoena and only accepted the document.

Now, the grand jury foreman has come out on behalf of Earle, making this case even more of a cluster fuck. While he said that he gave interviews after the jury deliberated, he never told any details of the case to the public or Earle, something that was cited in the subpoena.

"That's a bunch of (expletive) there," Gibson said. "That man did not talk to me."

Ah, you've gotta love Texas. He's indicting you? Sue that son of a bitch back! He's trying to play a politics game! This is gonna be a great frigging case.

Actually, it was a pretty brilliant move on DeGuerin's part (who is a much brighter lawyer than the DA), i.e. turn the tables on Earle. After all, if someone is pointing a gun at you do you just sit there or do you pull one out yourself? (since Tom is a conservative from Texas this should be self explainatory) I would not be surprised if by the end of this whole proceeding the only person out of a job is the Travis County DA.

Yeah, but he'll still get his book deal. I'm still not certain why someone would do something like this, but then again, I'm doped up on NyQuil now, so talking to a tree makes sense.
