Not too worried about the GOTV this fall, as every state wide candidate, including A-Barbie has already been written off by the dnc.

I think there may be one or two possible contested USREP seats that it might be a factor.

My hope is that this witch hunt is seen for what it is, a slap at our governors effort to improve surveillance at the border. You know this had to piss off the punk socialist POTUS terribly.

One of Rick’s lawyers:

David Botsford, weighed in late Friday evening.

“I am outraged and appalled that the Grand Jury has taken this action, given the governor’s constitutional right and duty to veto funding as he deems appropriate. This clearly represents political abuse of the court system and there is no legal basis in this decision. The facts of this case conclude that the governor’s veto was lawful, appropriate and well within the authority of the office of the governor.

Today’s action, which violates the separation of powers outlined in the Texas Constitution, is nothing more than an effort to weaken the constitutional authority granted to the office of Texas governor, and sets a dangerous precedent by allowing a grand jury to punish the exercise of a lawful and constitutional authority afforded to the Texas governor,” Botsford said.
