In any case, that and the following trial will certainly doom his presidential bid.

Like he had a prayer anyway lol.


Other prosecutors, and even a lot of liberals and liberal media outlets, are calling his indictment absurd and malicious prosecution. It's all the result of Perry refusing to fund the prosecutor's office of Travis County DA Rosemary Lehmberg, who had been arrested for DUI and showed the behavior you see below in the video. He felt she had lost all credibility and needed to resign and was completely within his rights to not fund her office.



Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
