It was reported that she had an open bottle of Vodka next to her when she was stopped

Ricks offense was not abuse of power, it was inaction when this same office went after orther republican officials with political charges. Travis county is one of the most liberal counties in all of texas. Why do we permit them to have state wide power not given to any other county. This power should be in a state wide elected office.

>> The same was done to KBH and Tom Delay.

Yup. The Hammer was (kind of) vindicated if I’m not mistaken.

"but he's being railroaded by a corrupt public official and a corrupt DA's office"

Do you even read any of these articles?

A public interest group filed the complaint in Bexar County(San Antonio) Ct presided over by a republican judge by the name Bert Richardson.

Judge Richardson appointed a special prosecutor by the name of Michael McCrum who happens to be a republican lawyer with a practice in San Antonio. McCrum had previously been recommended to be a federal prosecutor by both Texas GOP senators.

Lehmburg, the Public Corruption Unit, and/or the Travis County DA have absolutely nothing to do with it.

“Rick Perry thought her to be a disgrace, and wanted her to resign.”

No kidding. I could only watch the booking video once. I was humiliated for her. What a hot mess as we say in GA.

Yeah but I meant why hasn’t the Texas state bar disbarred her.

The Dhims and their MSM propagandists really ought to think about what happens when the legal system is corrupted to deny conservatives justice. They should think about it *hard*.

It's an elective office. Lehmberg ran unopposed in 2012 to win her second a four-year term term.

Travis County Attorney David Escamilla sued to have Lehmberg removed, but was unsuccessful.

The disturbing thing about this, is something we've seen quite a bit of here in Texas for many years, and that is the criminalization of policy differences.This is what happens when democrats can't win electoral victories. Democrat pols still can't get elected to statewide office in Texas even with the push to get illegals to vote, so they attempt to attack their enemies by abusing the legal process.

That said, I still wouldn't vote for Perry for dogcatcher. I'm tired of crony capitalists. We still haven't forgotten what he tried to do with the TTC.
