The complainants logic and use of the Abuse of Authority Statute is that Perry used his office to abusively pressure Lehmberg into quiting her job. The legitimate gubinatorial veto power is not in question, it was Perry’s alleged public character assassination of Lehmberg that was the cause of the suit.
There needs to be an immediate counter suit brought against the prosecutor and Lehmberg in federal court for malicious prosecution with intent to prevent Perry’s constitutionally protected speech and campaign activity.Perry portrayed the TRUTH about Lemberg. She did herself in and can blame no one but herself.
That federal law suit should be started yesterday with an immediate order to stay the indictment until the federal court can review the case and order otherwise.

How can Perry be blamed for Lehmberg’s own conduct?
Under Texas Law, the malicious prosecution suit can be personal.
