A Travis County grand jury

The indictments stemmed from Perry’s threat last summer to withhold $7.2 million in state money from Lehmberg’s office unless she step down – a threat he later carried out by vetoing an appropriation in the state budget.
that's very...creative. this sounds like a law and order episode

How in the world does this deliver Abortion Barbie a victory over Jim Abbott?
Perry isn't running for reelection.

Travis county.
Same hacks that went after delay and ultimately had their asses handed to them.

i don't think this gives her enough, but the DEMs are going to try to sell the GOP as the party of corruption

What? Perry could shoot a puppy on TV and I wouldn't vote for that hack over Abbott.

Texans will stand corruption, but not abortion.

Partisan political games is all this is.

All Abbott has to do is play the "he's never walked a mile in my shoes" quote on an endless loop and Davis gets less than 30% of the vote.

that's why i had to laugh at where the indictment was handed down, and the fact that this was handled via secret grand jury without gov investigation

Simple question.... Does the governor have the power to veto ANY legislation for whatever reason?
Apparently governor perry has a phone and a pen.

so he's being indicted for doing what 99% of politicians do?
ok, 20$ says he goes free, any takers?

I wonder how many politicians would be indicted if every instance of threatening to vote against or veto some bill or appropriation was looked at. Maybe that is the way to get rid of them all.

Thank goodness I don't have to sit through a 2016 debate that involves Perry now.

Why would you sit through a primary debate anyway?
