Sounds like Perry knows that Texas will never be totally cleaned up till he cleans up Austin.

Take note of the phony and the absurd here versus Obama’s abuse and criminal use of power. The Dems and their idiot media make it up.

I don’t care about carpet-m#nchers but I do care about ideologically driven and possessed left-wing prosecutors and this county seems to abound in them.

The KXAN chief liberal reporter was almost peeing in his pants reporting this a few minutes ago. Hope it turns into another Tom DeLay type non trial. I think the Travis county DA's office should have NOTHING to do with state wide elected officials.

Austin? As in Travis County? As in the same prosecutor’s office that indicted Tom Delay?
Pffffffffttt!

They are trying to take him out as a viable candidate for 2016, clearing the road for a Hillary victory.

Tagline memory jogger.....in 2009, wifey and I went to a large TEA rally and the guy in front of us - for whatever reason he had in his head - kept shouting "Joe Biden's an idiot!"....pretty much over and over.
It did greatly entertain the crowd, however.

Transfer all jurisdiction to the Texas Attorney General’s Office where it belongs.Yup, but the Austin libs would never stand for that. Got to have their sucky influence on the entire election process.

Indicting and conviction is two different things. Good luck you disgraced drunken DA in trying to get a conviction.

It worked in spades with Tom Delay.
And like with Delay the exoneration will come years later after Perry is broken & out of the way.
F the criminal enterprise called the democrat party.
