I like the second paragraph of the quoted opinion is post #50.Kinda of hard for me to believe either DeLay or the court when they say he did not know the law when wtf he did was take 190k out of a fund that was illegal to give Texas politicians and transfer those funds to Washington and then have Washington transfer the exact same amount (190k) to Texas politicians.
I believe that can be read as affirming that ignorance of the law IS an excuse. Originally Posted by FoulRon

There is nothing in the record to show that the appellant knew that he was conducting, supervising, or facilitating a transaction that involved the proceeds of criminal activity. The State has failed to establish the requisite culpable mental state to prove the offenses of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

These are voters that are solidly red voters and they knew he was a crook , even if LexusLiar is having a hard time dealing with that fact.
