Ronnie Earle and Vince Biskupic.

How many remember the 2002 State AG election?

Remember the Democrats filed that open records request and made a huge deal of the fact that Vince Biskupic came to pre-trial arrangements with certain defendants? That was a big deal that went on way beyond the Vince's failed election.

Read this Byron York article on the deals that Ronnie Earle. Here is an excerpt:

A grand jury in Travis County, Texas, last September indicted eight corporations in connection with the DeLay investigation. All were charged with making illegal contributions (Texas law forbids corporate giving to political campaigns). Since then, however, Earle has agreed to dismiss charges against four of the companies — retail giant Sears, the restaurant chain Cracker Barrel, the Internet company Questerra, and the collection company Diversified Collection Services — after the companies pledged to contribute to a program designed to publicize Earle's belief that corporate involvement in politics is harmful to American democracy.

I wonder if this will get any attention beyond National Review? It certainly casts doubt on Earle's intentions.
