Raw Story And NY Times Report: Texas Prosecutor Subpoenas Records Showing DeLay-Blunt Ties

According to Raw Story, Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle has subpoenaed the records of DeLay's ARMPAC and is also seeking records which show contributions to the Missouri Republican Party and Roy Blunt's Rely On Your Belief's PAC.

Update November 16--10:50 pm: The NY Times now has this story:

Texas prosecutors in the criminal case against Rep. Tom DeLay issued a subpoena on Wednesday for records of transactions between his
national political action committee and a political committee run by
his successor as House majority leader, Roy Blunt of Missouri.

The subpoena, issued in Austin, the Texas capital, asked for all
records from Mr. DeLay's committee, Americans for a Republican
Majority, about its contributions from 2000 to 2002 to Mr. Blunt's
committee, Rely on Your Own Beliefs Fund, and to the state Republican
Party in Missouri, where Mr. Blunt's son is governor.

The subpoena offered no explanation of why prosecutors wanted the
records, although news reports have recently questioned why thousands
of dollars raised by Mr. DeLay and his committee to entertain delegates
at the 2000 Republican convention were shifted to Mr. Blunt's committee.

Of course loyal Fired Up! readers are already familiar with these transactions, as we have been covering them since June of this year. For folks looking for more background on Roy Blunt, click here.
