Charges against Perry should wait until he is out of office - agree/disagree?

If Perry is willing to waive his right to a speedy trial and willing to waive the statute of limitations such that the clock doesn't run while he is office - the prosecutor should put off the prosecution until Perry's term is up. The legislature is free to take up the issue if they think it needs addressing sooner.

Charges against Perry should be dropped. He used veto power to defund an office that is apparently incompetent, and therefore a waste of taxpayer money.

I hope not. I want them right away. Based on the facts that Perry threatened to withhold money from an organization he believes to be run by a criminal, I'm interested to see what the rule of law is. What other facts do we need? Can the gov protect the state from local incompetence?

He should fight it now.
This sounds like a pretty bogus charge
It shouldn't be this easy to
blackmail a governor.

Doesn’t matter when this democratic circus comes to town. It’s a freaking joke of an indictment regardless when or if its ever adjudicated.

the charges are ridiculous. they should and will be dropped, but disagree, he "should" be tried while in office.

If I'm Perry I want to get this over with.
Once the charges are tossed (as the Governor has the right to a line-item veto of any appropriation, for any reason or no reason), he can get back to campaigning for the 2016 GOP POTUS nomination. (Though I still think Rand Paul has the best chance)

If he did the crime, he should do the time in a timely manner. If the law is wrong, then it best get gone...you know, by amending it in the legislature or striking it down in the courts.
