Perry's legal team calls CPRIT accusations a 'red herring'
Dallas Business Journal ^ | Aug 21, 2014 | Nicholas Sakelaris and Bill Hethcock

"At no time in CPRIT investigation was Governor Rick Perry or anyone from the Governor's office a target," Walling wrote in the affidavit dated Aug. 20. "At no time did I ever obtain evidence that suggested any wrongdoing on behalf of Governor Rick Perry or the Governor's office."

This 'criminalization of the opposition' gambit is falling apart.

What about the tainted nature of the grand jury? At least two members seem to have a serious conflict of interest...
Can’t a judge throw out any indictment on that basis? And can he sanction the two members of the grand jury for their hanky-panky?

It might could be thrown out for that, I don't know. Since the investigator filed the affidavit that Perry or his office were NOT involved, the case really has no merit since that's what Soros' minions based the complaint on in the first place.

And can he sanction the two members of the grand jury for their hanky-panky?

They violated their oath as grand jurors, they could probably be slapped with contempt of court, but I think that legal process may start with Perry's lawyers.

I just hope Perry goes back after every one of them with a vengeance. This is nothing more than slander.

It’s irrelevant...the goal has been accomplished and Perry’s indictment is record. He let it happen and by doing so proved to everyone he has no ball$!

Meanwhile Obama ridicules his critics by calling Fast & Furious gun running, IRS harassment of the political opposition, stonewalling on the release of internal memos, lying to Congress repeatedly, et al “phony scandals” and the attorney general has his butt covered even worse that JFK’s own bruddah.

Rules, honest and truthfulness do not apply to dumb-o-crats. If you think otherwise start with mac daddy and run through their leadership.

It sure has! Now the nation is learning that Travis County, Texas is a corrupt Democrat run cesspool with a vile drunken out of control lush for a District Attorney. Mission Accomplished!

What is CPRIT? People use long acronyms like everybody is familiar with the code. Just foolish and I find is disrespectful indicating a desire not to communicate well or to appear superior or smarter than they really are.

Why can’t the Texas AG indict the Democrat fraudsters right back? You know, for “abuse of office” or whatever?

We're not supposed to alter the headlines, and that's the way it was written.

It stands for Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

I can't see why they can't and I hope that they do.

As I understand it though, the law is all about process and timing. You have to wait until the first process is over (or at least to a certain point) before the next process can begin.

I really, REALLY hope Perry winds up 'backhanding' some people over this, though.

Really? How so?

You do realize they can indict a ham sandwich, if they so choose. So...how could Perry have not “let it happen”?

Thankss. I did not consider it your doing.

I’d have never known unless you told me and never have guessed since it seems so out of place with the indictments.

My comments stand.
