AUSTIN, Texas –  A Houston grand jury investigating undercover footage of Planned Parenthood found no wrongdoing Monday by the abortion provider but instead indicted anti-abortion activists involved in making the videos that provoked outrage among Republican leaders nationwide.

David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, was indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record and a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs. Another activist, Sandra Merritt, was also indicted on a charge of tampering with a governmental record.

Haven't you exceeded your quora of personal attacks yet?

Why are you yapping about some sort of meeting, driftbeat?

Or should I say "dn00bie" - oh, that's for "driftn00bie", not the other freeloading kind.

At least I think so...

No cuts.

You'll have to get in line in back of the "journalists" manning the Media DeathStar. :)

Everything is a federal felony - except, of course, what Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, and Jon Corzine did...

Odd how Texas has been the site of several unjust prosecutions that were politically motivated. I am truly puzzled how these charges were even drawn up. The only thing I can think of for the “government document” charge is that CMP filled out paperwork necessary to procure “human tissue” aka the organs of killed fetuses as part of their investigation and since they are not really a “research institute” it was considered “lying”. But that is really a stretch since as far as I know they never procured anything from PP.

...and to think Trump believes in funding Planned Parenthood..
sigh.

You guys thrive on scamming people with mis-information to damage Trump...You all know that Trump has stated many times that he is in favor of shutting down the abortion part of planned parenthood but feels the organization does good in other areas...I know Democrats who use the same tactics...

Law is complicated. That’s why we vote/hire lawyers as our representatives in government.

Doesn't have to be...The lawyers made it complicated on purpose...

I remember when Romney’s 47 percent comment was videotaped. I dont remember the media ever saying “Oh that statement is totally being taken out of context, the person taking the video is biased” nope, they just kept on playing the video over and over again

We have FReepers doing the same thing with Donald Trump...

So that's your Trump hit piece with the phony title??? When you guys try to deceive people about what Trump believes it just pushes people closer to him...Makes it look like your candidate is flawed if you have to use deception to draw people away from the competition...

The billionaire told Chris Cuomo on CNN’s New Day that he opposes federal funding going to Planned Parenthood to pay for abortions, but that he’s OK with tax dollars going to the group to pay for other services that it provides.

WTF! Evil P'sOS that did this are going to rot in hell.

They have to be under demonic influence to look at those videos and find no wrongdoing by PP, but, instead go after the film makers. Sickening!

And of course I want to completely defund PP. 86% of their income comes from abortion related services. If we pay for the lights and rent of an abortion mill, we are funding abortion.

If they no longer perform abortions, is it still an abortion mill???

Just listened to the judge on F&F, he said that although it has been announced that they have been indited. They did not release the actual documentation of the indictment. Something unheard.

The judge also said there are still 14 other states investigation PP.

A side note on that, Orwell had seen the Reds up close while fighting with the Anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. They and the Reds were on the same side, until the Communists decided they could do it without the Anarchists, and proceeded to purge them. Orwell barely escaped with his life due to his “allies.”

This is laid out in his Homage to Catalonia, a short but worthwhile read. His experiences in the Spanish Civil War really helped lay the groundwork for 1984 and Animal Farm.

Just as much as the old Sears catalogue stores were still where you started when you wanted something from Sears, and the full blown version wasn't around.

I heard it on the news tonight. Maybe by now you have too.

I heard about the indictment -- even before this story appeared on FR. I still haven't seen the indictment -- I even checked the Harris County District Clerk database this morning.

My conclusion is that you see no reason to review the actual indictment. You are perfectly content to let others read it and interpret it for you. That attitude is misguided.

The left hides the atrocities committed in any kind of extermination process. This Blackrobed tyrant is unfit to pass judgement on people doing what we all know was the right thing. A ruling to favor the dissection and sale of the unborn is about as barbaric an act ever passed down as the stench from the bench. Let us recall how the nazi socialists hid the ovens from the world for so long.

There is a reason you have not seen the indictment. They have not released any documentation. Even the judge on F&F said this is unheard of.
