I understand everyone's elation here, I think it is great, too. But, realistically, what is going to stop Earl & Co. from destroying mountains of incriminating documents? Given what he and his helpers have done thus far, they will have no compunctions about getting rid of the stuff.

You are correct. The NAACP is very unhappy with the DUmb @$$ for not investigating the deaths of so many minorities in Austin and ronnie boy spending too much time chasing this case.

You are correct, and the damage in the MSM has already been accomplished. Most Americans are getting their news from the MSM not from Internet.

Who is going to initiate a disciplinary investigation against goober Earle for conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice?

[MNJohnnie]

Does that have to come from Texas or can anyone do it?

it's perhaps too much to hope earle is that stupid. likely was actors in the room while it was otherwise unused. but, it certainly bears checking.

Don't think $1500 is going very far.

$1500 will go very far. About 15,000 pages far!

By the way, this is not a "FOIA" request which is a federal law that applies to federal information. This is a request under the Texas Public Records Act. Texas has a strong Public Records Act and there will be hell to pay from the Texas Attorney General if anyone gets caught in violation of the act. And that includes a numbnut like Ronnie Earle.

And, there is nothing that prohibits everyone here from sending the same exact letter to Ronnie Earle. He HAS to respond to each and every request. In fact, you could argue like Landmark that the information should be provided for free since it's good for the public that it is released.

Oh, note that Levin does not have the name "Delay" in his request. Smart guy.

At some point, Earle must have made a crucial mistake. I am hoping that The Great One is preparing Earle for a massive civil lawsuit, or perhaps there might be a theory of a Federal Criminal Civil Rights violation committed under color of authority. By that I mean that Earle may be using his official office to attempt to intimidate, prosecute and imprison someone because of his participation in the political process. Whatever happens, I cheer The Great One for his tenacity and willingness to go where pussy Republican leaders dare not tread.

There is nothing to stop Earle or any of his subordinates from destroying information. However, if at some point the FBI gets involved they will make it plain that anyone who cooperates will be offered a deal. Anyone else will go to prison. It works very well! And remember, there is no DEMOCRAT in the Presidency or Texas Governorship to give "pardons."

Thanks for the link and post.

No doubt $1500 would generate a fair amount of paper.  But, what caught my eye was the request for copies of various types of tape and film.

Also, note the hourly rates for personnel assistance.

Don't get me wrong.  I hope Landmark gets what they request.
