A DA is a DA. The candidate runs for the office of DA, not the office of PIU. The Travis County DA is not held to a higher cultural or legal standard than any other DA.
So even if the Travis County DA recuses as she did on the Perry complaint, the complaint has gone forward. In fact, the other dem judge, Kocurekof, also recused. But it was picked up by the GOP judge, Stubblefield who is a Perry appointee and a member of the 3rd appeals ct, who handed it off to another republican judge, Richardson, who hired prosecutor McCrum, who got the indictment.
But for all this to play out optimally in the press, we can keep on blaming the whore of Babylon, Lehmberg.
And just because perry cut off the money, that doesn't means she's broke.
She has authority no other DA in the state has.
She is held to a higher standard.
