No fan of Perry but this is BS. Same type of stuff they used against Tom DeLay. DeLay was eventually fully exonerated, but not before they ran him out of the House of Representatives.
I found this gem, I don’t know who these people are:
Why Rick Perry Will Be Convicted

Self ping
Interesting that the drunk Rosemary Lehmberg was the same DA who prosecuted Tom Delay - as I read this article on his recent exoneration by the 2 judges.
“We are concerned and disappointed that two judges substituted their assessment of the facts for that of 12 jurors who personally heard the testimony of over 40 witnesses over the course of several weeks and found that the evidence was sufficient and proved DeLay’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg’s office said in a statement.
Texans for Public Justice is able to continue its work thanks to generous support from the following foundations:
* The Alliance For Better Campaigns, Washington, DC (The Alliance is supported by grants from the Pew Charitable Trusts.)
* The Arca Foundation, Washington, DC
* The Deer Creek Foundation, St. Louis, MO
* The Magnolia Charitable Trust, Houston, TX
* The National Association for Public Interest Law (NAPIL), Washington, DC
* The Ottinger Foundation, New York, NY
* The Proteus Fund, Amherst, MA
* The U.S. PIRG Education Fund, Washington, DC
* The Margaret Cullinan Wray Charitable Trust, Houston, TX
* The Solidago Foundation, Northampton, MA
* The Stern Family Fund, Washington, DC
* The Rockefeller Family Fund, New York, NY
* The Open Society Institute, New York, NY
* The Tides Foundation, San Francisco, CA
Sort of a family heirloom then?
Texas Ping.
This will get tossed by the courts.
If not by the district court it will at the appellate level.
Or the next Governor will (along with the Board of Pardons and Paroles) grant him a pardon.
I’m a Texas defense attorney and I spoke with a Texas DA Friday evening about this case. He was outraged by this abuse of power by the PIU.
It’s clear that the PIU should be brought under the authority if the AG, that way it is accountable to the whole state.
I hate Perry but I hate the filthy libs more for making me support him.
Ugh.
lol
This is what has bothered me for a long time, long before this came up. The PIU has incredibly broad reach over the entire state yet is run by a single county’s (Travis) DA and not accountable to the state’s AG office.
I certainly hope so. The dems probably think this will help their cause at election.
I was hoping this incident could be a motivating factor in getting the constitution changed. Hopefully it'll happen with the next legislative session. I would have thought this would happen with the absurd Hutchinson fiasco but I never heard a word.
Having the whack jobs in Travis County run anything state wide is simply insane. Not saying the AG couldn't be a rascal but at least it's a state wide office.
Basically all the same people who underwrite shows on PBS.
Good work, frog. That’s a who’s who list of America-hating commies and leftists, including the Nazi Soros.
