Stirling Work on the Delay Case
Over the last several months, Perrspectives has amassed a large and growing document library regarding Tom Delay and his laundry list of scandals.
One of the most important additions to the Tom Delay Scandal Document Center comes from Stirling Newberry of Blogging the President. Over at BOP and in a post at DailyKos, Newberry has unearthed a treasure trove of memos, emails and other correspondence involving Delay's TRMPAC, Texas legislators, Texas Republican contributors, and the Hammer's own staff.
Last week, ThinkProgress noted that an unapologetic Tom Delay stated defiantly on MSNBC's Hardball:
"That’s TRMPAC. That’s not me…I was simply, along with four other elected officials, on an advisory board. They used my name as headliners for fundraisers and I had no idea what they were doing."
Thanks to the work of folks like Stirling Newberry, we know that Delay's claim of a hands-off relationship with TRMPAC is simply untrue.
