...DeLay: I know I don't. I paid lawyers to investigate me as if they were prosecuting me. And they found nothing. There is absolutely nothing-no connection with Jack Abramoff that is illegal, dishonest, unethical or against the House rules...
...DeLay: I don't think-I KNOW. I have no legal jeopardy. Now, I have plenty of political jeopardy. I have the media.... I know that my enemies are using it and accusing me of guilt by association and all of that. And you have to deal with it politically...

But it looks like they have violated the trust of my office. When you're in a leadership position, you have to hire people that you trust and 99.9 percent of the people that have worked for me are strong, solid, wonderful people that believe in what we're doing. And my management style is we move forward and I rely on people...
