I still don’t understand how it can be illegal to threaten someone with doing something that is legal. Perry had a legal right to veto, so it does not matter what his motive was. Perry can also have an opinion on public matters. This sounds more like a thought crime, because everyone agrees that he was well within his legal right to execute the veto. Perry was well within his right to advocate that the drunk/DUI lawyer should resign. I don’t see the illegality, unless there is a specific provision that says the reason for the Veto has to be stated, and can only be executed for an enumerated set of specific reasons.

Because there is not any illegality. Everything and everyone is at risk to false charges and can be politicized by Democrats.

To help explain and quote a couple of candid Dems in rare occasions from years gone by:

"The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it's the seriousness of the charge that matters." and "We just make sh*&#t up" as we go along.

The complainants logic and use of the Abuse of Authority Statute is that Perry used his office to abusively pressure Lehmberg into quiting her job. The legitimate gubinatorial veto power is not in question, it was Perry’s alleged public character assassination of Lehmberg that was the cause of the suit.

There needs to be an immediate counter suit brought against the prosecutor and Lehmberg in federal court for malicious prosecution with intent to prevent Perry’s constitutionally protected speech and campaign activity.Perry portrayed the TRUTH about Lemberg. She did herself in and can blame no one but herself.

That federal law suit should be started yesterday with an immediate order to stay the indictment until the federal court can review the case and order otherwise.

Look at the Lehmberg videos April 12 & 13 2013 ( LAST YEAR):

How can Perry be blamed for Lehmberg’s own conduct?
