You may remember Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson, the faux “pro-life” Republican who refused to prosecute accused neck-twisting Houston abortionist Doug Karpen. She also later flipped a grand jury that was supposed to investigate Planned Parenthood, but instead indicted pro-life journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt.
Daleiden and Merritt’s charges were later dismissed after it was revealed that Anderson had violated the law to indict them.
Illustrating that old adage, “what goes around comes around,” Anderson was soundly defeated in November.
But it gets better.
The new District Attorney-Elect Kim Ogg has decided to “drain the swamp” of corruption, which plagued the office during Anderson’s tenure.
Ogg has notified 40 prosecutors that their services are no longer needed.
Among them is Assistant District Attorney Sunni Mitchell.
Anderson had selected Mitchell to oversee the 2013 Karpen grand jury and the 2015 Planned Parenthood/Daleiden grand jury. Mitchell has been blamed for leaking information from the “secret” grand jury process to Planned Parenthood then working with them to indict Daleiden and Merritt. Her manipulation of both grand juries protected Karpen and Planned Parenthood from criminal prosecution.
Karpen was accused in a formal complaint filed by Operation Rescue of murdering babies born alive during shoddy abortion procedures, while two years later, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast was caught on film by Daleiden and Merritt haggling for the best price in exchange for aborted baby parts.
The Anderson/Mitchell 2015 grand jury never even took a vote on Planned Parenthood’s charges, citing a lack of evidence, but Mitchell was caught colluding with Planned Parenthood during the entire “investigation.”
Despite efforts to expose the tainted process, it seemed like Planned Parenthood was off the hook for good.
However, more good news came last week when the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee announced it had referred Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
Apparently, the Judiciary Committee miraculously found the evidence Anderson said didn’t exist.
For three years, Operation Rescue posted numerous articles and even attended a large press conference in Houston last year in an effort to expose the corruption in Anderson’s office that was thwarting justice.
That makes recent developments particularly satisfying for us.
“Part of what happens when we work to end the injustice of abortion is that corruption, which protects abortion abusers, is exposed,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “This serves to benefit everyone in society, even those who have little interest in abortion.”
Now that Anderson and Mitchell have been sent packing, Operation Rescue has plans for the New Year. We are preparing to formally request a reopening of the murder investigation against Karpen once the new District Attorney takes office in January.
Maybe with the swamp finally drained, justice can finally be found.
LifeNews.com Note: Cheryl Sullenger is a leader of Operation Rescue, a pro-life that monitors abortion practitioners and exposes their illegal and unethical practices.
Ditto. In spades.
They DON”T think, sad to say.
You know the previous DA was rotten when even the Houston Carbunkle endorsed the challenger.
I’m tearing up as I recall, from whom I don’t recall, that God punishes national sins with national punishment.
Can satanic islam be God’s punishment? Is enslavement to these animals our sentence? Would He do that?
I always think of Him as a benevolent God....so I really don’t know.
Then again...Jesus got angry and threw the moneylenders out of the temple.
It’s no secret that George Soros stuck his fingers in to her race big time and without his $$$ Ogg would likely not been elected.
Thank you for the information.
This is great news. These late-term abortionists are sociopaths.
I am not familiar with the defeated supposedly RINO DA Devon Anderson or these abortion cases, but the DA-elect, Ogg, is a female urban democrat and therefore certain to be pro-abortion. It’s extremely likely these firings are a politically motivated purging of GOP employees and nothing more.
Ogg is also a lesbian. I’m disgusted that two people on this thread said they voted for her. She sounds soft on crime and was funded by GEORGE SOROS.
Fail. Big time fail.
