Volkoh isn't exactly a "journalist" and as he points out, a court already has decided it.That will be for a court to decide, not a journalist.
Nope. He broke the letter of the law. What he did was an indictable offence. Whether he gets convicted or not is up in the air.
Did you even read the link that was posted ON WASHINGTON POST for cryin' out loud! Letter of the law my ass. Even liberal "experts" say the charge is bogus.
That will be for a court to decide, not a journalist. Or You for that matter
Nice thing about having your nose up in the air, it makes it nearly impossible to see anything else around you. Keep dancin'.
Thought this was funny:

He can't possibly be this obtuse, can he? I mean, I'm new here, but this whole line of reasoning takes having your head up your fifth point point of contact to new extremes.
Dude, if Axelrod doesn't even want to touch this it probably ain't going anywhere. Especially not in Texas. That it even was indicted is only an indicator that the people in that county of loons are insanely desperate.

Maybe because it is blatantly phony, and in fact is itself the very thing Rick Perry is falsely accused of?
Lehmberg is a convicted criminal. She has no business being any kind of prosecutor, never mind head of a Public Integrity Unit with statewide jurisdiction. She sloughed off whatever integrity she had when she refused to resign. Governor Perry was far from on the only one to call her on that, but he was the one who had legally had the power to try to effect her resignation, and he did so correctly.
And this should be kept in mind when evaluating any future claims coming out of the Public Integrity Unit. Between her refusal to resign and this stunt, she has basically flushed the unit's credibility down the toilet, along with Michael McCrum's (and the Grand Jury's) as well. (Apparently the US Senate knew something when it refused to move on his nomination as one of Obama's US Attornies. Dodged a bullet there.)
If you are truly interested in rooting out corruption in government I don't understand how you could wish this action would even be brought, never mind proceed.
The job for the legislature is to yank the state Public Integrity Unit out of Travis County and put at the state level.
The prosecutor overseeing the grand jury is a republican darling with the endorsement of Cornyn and Hutchison. His base is San Antonio. The grand jury has been deliberating since April. The corruption unit is investing Perry and Abbott (the heir of the governorship) for illegally giving money to their business buddies. If you are truly interested in rooting out corruption in government I don't understand how you could wish this action didn't proceed. Perhaps this could result into the Texas legislature throwing some checks and balances on veto power. Defunding the body that is investigating you for crony capitalism is certainly sketchy.
Let me get this straight, is Perry being indicted for corruption of public funds or for denying funding for that DA's fat drunk arse??

This is the guy doing the prosecuting.
This may push me into supporting Perry. I am thinking you can't go wrong with the guy the libtards hate the most, if for no other reason than entertainment value from the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
