A very good piece, concise and informative. Per Twitchy Chait was formerly the editor of The New Republic, so I think his liberal bona fides are in good order.

Perry is done. This was a Bush family political hit, it was outsourced by the Austin DA to Bush family political appointees. Read about McCrum bit.

FR’s are dupes if they think the Dems were the one’s pushing this.

The left has engaged in rewriting the past regarding Clinton’s impeachment for perjury and subornation of perjury as simply pursing a “BJ.”
Perry’s team needs to make sure this indictment is seen as retaliation by an angry, embarrassed, embittered, partisan drunkard perpetuating a fraud on the court.

I am not a fan of Rick Perry but I’m in his corner on this; the indictment is completely bogus.

Not only is the DA a drunk, she’s also stupid.

Texas should move the capitol out of Austin. I’ve been there a few times and, seriously, I don’t know what the fuss is about. It’s a fairly dirty, old town with sprawling suburbs. The university is just a magnet for liberals, hipsters and their fellow travelers. I can imagine what the grand jury looked like....

If we played the game the same way, by noon Monday there would be 101 criminal indictments of Obama for abuse of power. Followed by demands that he immediately resign since he would be by far the most-indicted president in American history.

Thank You Travis County for again demonstrating how MEAN and VINDICTIVE the Democratic Party can be! We have seen that with Obummer and his programs that have declared war on his enemies, and this is just another facet of the FLAWED PERSONA of the Democrats!

This very public display can only help boost Rick Perry and the Republicans in general. That is why you see Liberals like Chait running away from it.

Travis County Loonies!

One of the author's point is the MSM will treat this as the political death of Rick Perry.

...regardless of the ridiculousness.

A Texas Democrat DA with a rabid grudge is a dangerous and vengeful law enforcement officer.

It will be interesting if Karl Rove's hit machine was in any way involved with these Austin DAs since Jeb Bush looks likely to run for President and Perry is looking so strong in light of sending the National Guard to the border.

Jeez, this indictment doesn’t pass the laugh test; it’s gruel that is so thin that it doesn’t have even a microscopic amount of cereal in it.

Remember how the left went after Sarah Palin when she was governor for firing a state trooper who was a drunk or something. They had her so tied up in law suits that she couldn’t do her job as governor. The Obama henchmen are attempting to do the same to Gov. Perry.

~Calls for Lehmberg to resign as district attorney began about as soon as the news of her arrest broke on April 13. Police Chief Art Acevedo did not take a specific position on whether she should resign, saying it would not be “appropriate for a police chief to make a statement” on the issue. He also noted, however, that “[i]f I myself was arrested for DWI and conducted myself in a manner that was unbecoming of this position I can tell you that I would resign.”

Austin Police Association President Wayne Vincent was less restrained, saying that “[a]t this point, it’s about the ability of the district attorney to be able to have any credibility with the law enforcement community,…and we would prefer if she would resign.”~

I guess I don’t see how a governor vetoing something can possibly be criminal...

No one disputes that Perry is allowed to veto measures approved by the Legislature. But the left-leaning Texans for Public Justice government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint accusing the governor of coercion because he threatened to use his veto before actually doing so in an attempt to pressure Lehmberg to quit.

It’s worse than people realize. Under the “theory” of this case every Texan who ever threatened to vote for or against a politician in an attempt to influence the politician’s official acts, committed a felony.
