Gov Rick Perry I think,
AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been indicted for abuse of power after carrying out a threat to veto funding for state public corruption prosecutors.

I seriously doubt this goes anywhere, just some of the democratic playbook being hashed out.

Slick Rick isn't so slick anymore these days. I always wondered why out of state folks thought he was so great. Ever wonder how he got that nickname long ago?

Perry said Lehmberg, who is based in Austin, should resign after she was arrested and pleaded guilty to drunken driving in April 2013. A video recording made at the jail showed Lehmberg shouting at staffers to call the sheriff, kicking the door of her cell and sticking her tongue out.
Lehmberg faced pressure from other high-profile Republicans in addition to Perry to give up her post. Her blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit for driving.
Lehmberg served about half of her 45-day jail sentence but stayed in office, despite Perry's assertions that her behavior was inappropriate.

This is what Perry did and I like him more for it. http://news.msn.com/us/texas-perry-i...or-veto-threat


A special prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he promised publicly to nix $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit run by the office of Travis County Democratic District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Lehmberg was convicted of drunken driving, but refused Perry's calls to resign.
Perry's general counsel, Marry Anne Wiley, defended the governor's action.
"The veto in question was made in accordance with the veto authority afforded to every governor under the Texas Constitution," she said. "We will continue to aggressively defend the governor's lawful and constitutional action, and believe we will ultimately prevail."

Typical liberal BS, when you have zero ideas of your own and aren't capable forming any you do the only thing left, anything you can dream up that the liberal media will jump all over to smear and destroy the opposition. The only thing this really proves is that they fear him therefore destroy him. Same will happen to the next likely GOP candidate.

Just politics, nothing more. Rick Perry is a good man, I'll leave it at that.

I'm betting this is much like the phony prosecution of House Majority Leader Tom Delay, also in a
Texas politically tainted case, where he was convicted but on appeal the conviction was overturned
and he was formally acquitted of all charges. Delay was originally protected by the statute of limitations,
but he waived it himself, preferring to get it cleared up in court rather than have this hanging
over him and giving his enemies the ability to claim that he was guilty but "got off on a technicality".
Unfortunately, he agreed to step down and not run during the trial, so the Persecutor (no misspelling)
achieved his goal of getting a very effective Republican out of Congress.

The Democrat prosecutors in Texas seem particularly prone to bringing these political cases, which appear to
be mostly based on "getting at your enemy". Seems to always be a Dem prosecutor going after
a powerful Republican, with questionable basis in fact, but a easily swayed jury or judge.

We'll see how far this witch hunt goes.

Sounds like libtard gossip to me.

[waksupi]

They did the same thing to Scott Walker in Wisconsin. News flash, he's still there! Election cycle sniping.

[jmort]

These are the same liberal joto maricons that went after Delay.

[smokeywolf]

Democrats and criminal aliens getting more and more of a foothold in Texas. It is beyond sad.

Dumbacrats have had a huge foothold in Austin for many years.

Eventually, that disease spreads.

Go to the Drudge Report You can see how the libtards in Austin are handling this.Look at the viedo of the drunk and you can see why he threaten to withhold funds until she resigned.

He's still a lot more attractive, both physically and politically, than Chris Crispycreme.

[jonp]

Yeah....take a minute to research who filed the complaint. A liberal group formed to go after Bush in 2000 and 2004. That they found a Democrat in Austin to file and a grand jury to indict is no surprise. Remember the political prosecution of Tom Delay which was thrown out?

The Dems in Texas can't win elections so spend their time in the courts trying to get the results they don't like overturned. That Perry would try to force out a DA that was arrested for drunk driving and threaten a veto if she did not resign does not bother me in the least. A Gov, President etc that threatens a veto of legislation to get what he/she wants somewhere else is unheard of isn't it?

Remember the old saw about a grand jury and a ham sandwich?

btw: notice the timing? Right on cue for the 2016 Election. Gee, that's odd isn't it
