(c) It is an exception to the application of [coercion] that the person who influences or attempts to influence the public servant is a member of the governing body of a governmental entity, and that the action that influences or attempts to influence the public servant is an official action taken by the member of the governing body. For the purposes of this subsection, the term “official action” includes deliberations by the governing body of a governmental entity.
In exercising the veto, which is an official action, Perry has immunity from the statute, however coercion may be defined therein. Stop digging. You've lost.
Gee, how did Mr. McCrum miss that section of the statute?
It’s always possible McCrum is just a fool, but my guess is he is worse than a fool.
IMHO this indictment will be thrown out. Even IF the statute didn’t have that clause in it.
And BTW someone please send Mr. McCrum over to NJ to arrest all the democrats who forced Senator Toricelli to drop out of an election.
Then swing by D.C. and gather up all those still alive who coerced Richard Nixon into resigning.
Oy.
” Stop digging. You’ve lost. “
Haha well I could hardly lose. I’m not the one under indictment lol.
AS i wrote in another post. Perrys actions were questionable enough that he got indicted.
Whether he gets convicted or not, who knows.
Of course if he gets convicted or even has to cop a plea the Perry’s lost.
