Maybe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Earle>

Former Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle speaks at a panel on ethics and government at Netroots Nation in Austin, Texas in July 2008.





Ronald Dale "Ronnie" Earle (born February 23, 1942) was, until January 2009, the District Attorney for Travis County, Texas. He became nationally known for filing charges against House majority leader Tom DeLay in September 2005 for conspiring to violate Texas' election law and/or to launder money. Earle prosecuted other politicians, including Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and State Representative Mike Martin, as well as Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox on charges of commercial bribery.



His cases against Hutchinson and DeLay were unsuccessful; Hutchinson was found not guilty and DeLay's conviction was overturned on appeal about three years after the conviction. Earle's only success was with Mike Martin, although the felony perjury charge was reduced to a misdemeanor after a plea bargain. In 1985, as Travis County District Attorney, he accused then-Attorney General Jim Mattox of threatening Fulbright & Jaworski's municipal bond business unless one of their lawyers stopped trying to question his sister, Janice Mattox, about a bank loan. The loan was an issue in a lawsuit involving Mobil Oil Co. and Clinton Manges, a South Texas oil man and rancher who financially supported Mattox, who was acquitted after a long trial. On one occasion, Earle prosecuted himself for an election law violation after missing a campaign finance filing deadline by one day; he was fined $212.[1]




Busy little neo-commie, ain't he?

Him or some other 'rat scum in Austin ! This is nothing more or less than a 'rat abuse of the judicial process - typical of the fecal 'rats that infest our state capitol. They should be strung up by their short hairs.
