In a civil case brought by ousted Texas Dems, a judge finds Bill Ceverha, treasurer of Tom DeLay’s TRMPAC, in violation of state election laws by not reporting over $680,000 in campaign contributions. This case doesn’t specifically involve Boss DeLay (although the related criminal proceedings well might), but it may bring public focus back to the Hammer, now that the nuclear standoff has been temporarily defused.

“‘We always knew Tom DeLay was involved…but we never realized the extent to which he was involved in fund-raising directly with corporations.'” There doesn’t seem to be a smoking gun just yet — still, documents unearthed in the Ceverha trial in Texas suggest Boss DeLay was more involved than his cronies suggest in the daily procuring of corporate contributions for TRMPAC. Who would’ve thunk it? Update: The Ceverha trial aside, DeLay now also seems to be in a spot of trouble regarding an all-expenses-paid boondoggle to South Korea in 2001.

So far, like a good little Pentangeli, Ceverha and his attorneys are distancing themselves from the Hammer…but we’ll see what shakes out.
