Along Partisan Lines, Texas Appeals Court Overturns Tom DeLay Money Laundering Conviction:
"In 2010, a jury had convicted DeLay on on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. That jury found that DeLay had devised a scheme to funnel corporate money into Texas state politics, circumventing a state law barring corporate money. The middle group, Texans for a Republican Majority, used those funds to elect a new GOP majority in the state legislature and force through an unprecedented mid-decade gerrymander of the Congressional map."
