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

The investigation into grants issued by CPRIT to Perry's buddies. The DWI was just a gift of fortune for Perry - if he had tried to frame it up himself he couldn't have done a better job - it was a perfect opportunity for him to kill the last bit of statewide Democratic power left in Texas and to end an investigation that might lead to him.

Yes, because a Perry-appointed DA would immediately kill such an investigation in a clearly quid-pro-quo way :eyeroll:.

He'd be replacing the DA, not all the people under them, and the DA would be replaced in another election in a cycle or two.

You think that killing an investigation like this outright would go through considering how the Dems in the PIU love to leak info to the press? Christ, they were leaking Grand Jury info to everyone on the DeLay matter before he finally got indicted on the third time around.

Killing an investigation in this manner would pretty much guarantee that it gets a lot of attention because of all the leaks that would come out of that office.
