In Slip, DeLay Says Third Former Aide Guilty

By Paul Kiel

April 5, 2006

Paul Kane makes a hell of a catch in his piece today in Roll Call.

He points out that during his interview with Time, Tom DeLay let the
cat out of the bag and admitted that a third former aide of his will
be found guilty:


TIME: Were there any instances where you failed to adequately
supervise people who worked in your office?

DeLay: No, no. Look: I have had hundreds of people work for me.
Unfortunately, there's three - one that we let go, Scanlon - that I
don't yet, I'll wait until they're found guilty. But it looks like
they have violated the trust of my office.


Only two of DeLay's former aides have already pled guilty:

Tony Rudy and Michael Scanlon.

Ed Buckham would be the third, and as we pointed out last week, he was
recently implicated in Tony Rudy's guilty plea.

So it already looked like he was likely to go down, but DeLay does us
all the service of confirming it here.

DeLay says he'll "wait until they're found guilty."

Whether he's talking about a forthcoming guilty plea from Buckham is
not clear.

See our post from last week as to who Buckham could bring down with
him. http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/000249.php

As we pointed out, it would be Buckham's guilty plea that would be
real trouble for DeLay.

Maybe that's why he bowed out Monday.
