This current hit on him IS totally political

The Travis County district attorney’s office has a tense history with Republican politicians in Texas and has been accused of politicization. Austin is a Democratic bastion in a solidly Republican state.

Lehmberg’s predecessor, Ronnie Earle, indicted then-Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R) for allegedly misusing state resources when she was the state treasurer. The prosecution crumbled on the first day of trial. Earle also brought a case against then-House whip Tom DeLay (R), for violations of Texas campaign finance laws. The conviction was overturned.

Travis County Texas is Marin County / San Francisco combined

I've heard as much and unfortunately they really got to Tom Delay. He was favorite of mine. He may have won but how does he get his reputation back. That's why the best defense to these a holls is always a good offense.
