Cartledge asks the question.
Cartledge, one of the non-US readers here, asked a pretty good question in the comments about the ability of Delay, and other members of Congress, to transfer their election funds for use in a criminal defense.
I think that's a pretty good question, Cartledge. I don't know how to research it, but it would be interesting to know who, and under what circumstance, that was added.
Now let me get this straight; those who framed the 'Federal election rules' had the foresight to include a provision that campaign funds could be converted to legal defense funds?

Just call my vain, but delighted. I just feel there is bound to be trouble when you put the foxes in charge of the henhouse. (or something like that) You can be sure lawmakers will always favour their own interests. We see it often enough in electoral laws. We are seeing it now they attempt to anti corruption laws into place. They can't do it honestly because they simply can't see the difference between their self interests and the interests of the wider population. But thanks for the heads up Mike.
