I thought that this would be resolved quickly, and Congressman DeLay can get back to Washington and resume his post. But obviously, the game here is to keep Congressman DeLay out of his leadership post in the Congress.

I think everybody has cooperated with the government, and the evidence showed Tom DeLay did nothing wrong.

We are ready now. We don't want to delay the disposition of this case.

Before the first indictment you tried to coerce a guilty plea from Tom DeLay for a misdemeanor, stating the alternative was indictment for a felony which would require his stepping down as Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.
