I need some legal information regarding some questions that I have thought of regarding our buddy Tom Delay and the charges he is facing. Please answer if there is potential here or if something like this may happen in the future or it is just a matter of time.
- I went to the bank to open a savings account with a check of $500.00. I had to jump through many hoops to open the account. When asked why so much paperwork, the reply was, since the Patriot Act was implemented, the banking industry has many safety nets in place to identify money laundering operations that could lead to terrorist organizations operating here and abroad. That began to make me wonder.
- Could Tom Delay be charged federally with any of the provisions of the Patriot Act?
- Is there any possibility of federal charges coming or are these charges just state charges?
- What would the punishments be?
Thanks in advance,
peace
