What Would It Look Like?

Okay, mini-rant here...about the most disgusting person in politics today...Tom DeLay.

Here is a guy who has been the subject of censure on ethical grounds by his fellow Congressmen several times, and now he's got a prosecutor on his tail for laundering corporate money to make it unidentifiable as such so that it could be used for political campaigns, which is illegal in Texas.

Of course, DeLay claims that the prosecutor is politically motivated.

My questions for Tom are these:

Tom, if a sincere, well-meaning prosecutor with no political motives truly believed that you had done somthing illegal, and indicted you on charges, what would that attempt look like?  How would it look different than Ronnie Earl's attempt?  What could said prosecutor do to convince you his attempt wasn't politically motivated?  And if any attempt at prosecuting you would be politically motivated, then why should your current claim of such motivation convince me to believe you?  Basically, Tom, is it just remotely possible that you have done something wrong?  That your tactics were illegal in addition to being unethical and downright hateful, conniving, uncivil, and mean?

Protest all you want, Tom, but if a jury decides your schemes violated the law, the country isn't going to be very forgiving.  You made your bed...you know the rest.

Have you seen TdeL's mugshot? It looks like a senior picture. It's an interesting bit of visual rhetoric: he's obviously trying hard to avoid the James Brown Syndrome, in which your mug shot reveals you to be a shockingly disheveled dirtbag. TdeL manages to hide the fact.
