Draggingtree Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 : Rick Perry A Victim Of Democrats’ Politicization Of Courts · 2/26/2016 5:57 PM EST Junk Justice: A Texas appeals court wadded up and threw out the “abuse of power” indictment against Gov. Rick Perry this week, the latest in a line of such harassment suits against effective political officials. It was the right move. But given what it cost Perry, where’s the “abuse of power” charge against his odious assailants? · It was a travesty. The distinguished governor of Texas, just finishing 14 years in office characterized by a dazzling economic record and a wagon-train of newcomers to his state, was hit with a nuisance indictment claiming “abuse of power” and “intimidation of a public official” after he vetoed funding in 2013 for a portion of a state prosecutor’s office called the “public integrity unit.” That followed after its top prosecutor, Rosemary Lehmberg, refused to resign after being picked up by the cops for driving drunk and then, in a spectacular video caught on YouTube, drunkenly attempting to intimidate the officers from filing charges. The governor’s veto of funding was worthy, given the need to protect the public. · After that, rabidly left-wing activists from the trial-lawyer and George-Soros-funded Texans for Public Justice sprang into action, making common cause with the Austin prosecutors’ office to persuade a grand jury in left-wing Austin to indict Perry — for responsibly doing his duties.

Draggingtree Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I heard that Rick Perry is considering entering the race - though he has endorsed Cruz. I have not heard that, anyway think no path at this stage of the game.
