I'm surprised nobody has said anythin g about it yet.

https://news.yahoo.com/texas-governor-perry-indicted-abuse-power-002647126.html


"AUSTIN Texas (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry was indicted on Friday by a grand jury in Texas on two counts of abuse of power and coercion over a funding veto he made last year that was seen as being intended to force a local prosecutor to resign...
... A probe was launched last year after Perry vetoed $7.5 million in funding for an integrity unit that is part of the Travis County District Attorney's office. The move was seen as hardball politics to force out county District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, after she pleaded guilty to drunken driving.

The indictment said Perry, "with intent to harm another, to-wit, Rosemary Lehmberg and the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office, intentionally or knowingly misused government property."

I don't know the law well enough to know if what Perry did is against the law. I certainly don't see any moral problems with what he did, however. In fact, I like it.

I believe that there's a reasonably good chance that Obama made arrangements for this.

I agree with Boilerman 100%. We should shift our attention away from Governor Perry and toward President Obama.

Does Ellen believe that Obama's is above urging folks to drum up charges on the Texas governor as payback for not supporting his "open door" immigration policy?

Boiler,
It doesn't matter what you or I think all that matters it what the Grand Jury that indicted him thinks. He is looking at 99 years in prison.

jatki99,
I read some articles on it last night and it is a really weird case. I don't think there is any doubt he did what he was accused of as they were public acts of his office. On the other hand it is hard to fathom what is basically an act of “political retaliation” being worthy of 99 years in the clink. I guess he could always pardon himself.

He's not going to jail.

I am agreeing with you, Boiler. We need to transform this thread about Perry into a discussion about Obama.

And Monster didn't answer my question again. Interesting.

How's that lawsuit against Obama going? The people demand justice.

I am happy to answer. I think the indictment on Perry calls for a Congressional investigation to determine Obama's involvement.
