I don’t know how Perry will turn this arrest into a golden opportunity to make political points for 2016.
But I hope he succeeds.
Standing up against a bunch of people who have very obviously politicized law enforcement would speak well of Rick Perry. Right now NOBODY is willing to stand up against the politicization of law enforcement and the courts - which is largely why we’re in the mess we’re in.
As long as the people who have the ability to call grand juries are sheer political hacks who answer to their political and sugar-daddy puppet-masters, the people be darned and there’s nothing we can do about ANY of the lawlessness we see from the politicians’ friends.
There are many that think he will. I'm not one of those.
Rick is already making political hay on this one. People were lined up in front of the police station yesterday cheering him on. Then he gave a fully publicized speech, took a rock star mug shot and will now be getting free national air time on every major talk show for the forseable future.
Rock on Rick!
