I know just enough about campaign finance law to be dangerous. Allison Hayward knows so much about campaign finance law that she has devoted an entire blog to it. Here are her thoughts on the indictment of Tom Delay:
How the prosecutors in this case think they can get criminal charges to stick when these funds trading practices were engaged in regularly pre-BCRA and tolerated by the FEC is beyond me. Sure, Texas law isn’t federal law, but how do you show criminal intent? This is just nuts.
I am not making any predictions here, but if Hayward is anywhere close to right then Delay is going to be cleared of these charges.
