Under the Dome: Bullock to Earle — 'I was guilty'

Under the Dome: Bullock to Earle — 'I was guilty': "Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Dallas last week, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle reminded the audience that he has investigated a few fellow Democrats in his time. Although his 1978 investigation of then-Comptroller Bob Bullock went nowhere, Earle suggested that the probe into the use of state equipment and planes for political purposes was on the right track.

Years after Bullock and Earle buried the hatchet, Earle said Bullock confessed to him, 'I was guilty as hell.'

Then Bullock helped Earle by staving off attempts to cut his budget for investigating politicians."
