Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicted for coercion for veto threat

[Crabtownboy]

Well, this will be interesting to watch.

A grand jury indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday for abusing the powers of his office by carrying out a threat to veto funding for state prosecutors investigating public corruption - making the possible 2016 presidential hopeful his state's first indicted governor in nearly a century.
A special prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he promised publicly to nix $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit, which is run by Travis County District Rosemary Lehmberg's office. Several top aides to the Republican governor appeared before grand jurors in Austin, including his deputy chief of staff, legislative director and general counsel. Perry himself wasn't called to testify.
He was indicted by an Austin grand jury on felony counts of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Maximum punishment on the first charge is five to 99 years in prison. The second is two to 10 years.

There are two simultaneous threads about the situation in Iraq. Two threads about Ferguson. This is the one you take exception with however. Wonder why.

Well Rev. some of us have a life outside the BB. Sorry I did not see it. Thank you in your oh so kind way of pointing it out.

Maybe someone can combine the two threads.

Rev. is oh so kind to me all the time. He has lots of time to puruse all the threads and make comments. And he post threads ad nauseum about Obama, all negative of course. But that doesn't count.

Oh, and don't bother asking him a question. You will not get an answer.

I think they should just sticky an Obama thread at the top of this forum and spare the rest of the forum.

And only negative posts would be allowed.
