3. From Wiki:
"On August 15, 2014, Texas Governor Rick Perry was indicted by a Travis County grand jury.[2] The first charge of the indictment is abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, for threatening to veto $7.5 million in funding for the Public Integrity Unit, a state public corruption prosecutors department. The second charge, which has since been ruled unconstitutional,[3] was coercion of a public servant, a third-degree felony,[4] for seeking the resignation of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat,[5] after she was convicted of drunk driving, and incarcerated. Perry pleaded not guilty to both charges.
On July 24, 2015, the Texas Third Court of Appeals dismissed the indictment for coercion of a public official, on the basis that the indictment violates his First Amendment rights to free speech.[3] The indictment for abuse of power, a charge which his lawyers say is a misdemeanor,[6] remains against Perry."
Thanks for reminding us of other other political stunts by Democrats. How about Ted Stevens:
In 2008, Stevens was embroiled in a federal corruption trial as he ran for re-election to the Senate. He was found guilty, and eight days later was narrowly defeated at the polls.[4] Stevens is the most senior U.S. Senator to have ever lost a reelection bid. However, prior to sentencing, the indictment was dismissed—effectively vacating the conviction—when a Justice Department probe found evidence of gross prosecutorial misconduct.[5] Many have argued the prosecution was unfair and politically motivated,[6][7][8] and attorney Rob Cary detailed the trial in his book Not Guilty: The Unlawful Prosecution of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens.[9]

I saw that one. It obviously was not filmed in Libya.
