House rules state that if you are indicted for a felony that carries a sentence of 2 years or more, if convicted, you have to step aside from your leadership position, until you are acquited. This bites.

Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, a Democrat
This is the biggest problem in Texas. A county DA being allowed to conduct and an investigation of a State Official just because the capitol of Texas is in Travis County.

Is this in any way related to the "ham sandwich" theory of indictments?

Time to start in earnest on opposition research of Mr. Earle.

Witch hunt is right.
"The Hammer" wouldn't think of doing anything illegal, as he knows all the RATS are after him. Heck, they'd arrest him for double parking if they could -- Because he scares the HELL out of them!

The Texas legislature needs to remove the special authority of the Travis County DA over campaign law offenses.

Very interesting, lying crooked liberals collect money from "RED Chinese" and had "no controlling legal authority" and now SOROS is funding lying crooked liberals.
Ain't campaign finance reform grand, McCAIN/Feingold!

He better not step down.
He'll just get pardoned in another couple of months, so what is the point?

The fact that the same rules apply to everyone is a good thing, not a bad thing.
