The Grand Jury sees it differently...Executive Privilege dude. A veto is a veto regardless of why.
I am guessing you do not have much experience with the Texas legal system. A Grand Jury is a DA rubber stamp. If I were a Travis county DA, I could get an indictment against your dog for identity theft if I wanted to.
The same DA office did this to Tom Delay. He won in every case. This one won't get that far. It is too stupid. With Delay, at least they had arcane finance law grey areas to work with.

This is a typical Dem tactic in Austin to deal with Pub politicians who get heavy handed.
It destroyed Tom Delay.
This will end Rick's hopes for the presidency, where the indictment is correct or not.
(a) A person commits an offense if by means of coercion he:
(1) influences or attempts to influence a public servant in a specific exercise of his official power or a specific performance of his official duty or influences or attempts to influence a public servant to violate the public servant's known legal duty; or
(2) influences or attempts to influence a voter not to vote or to vote in a particular manner.
(b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor unless the coercion is a threat to commit a felony, in which event it is a felony of the third degree.
(c) It is an exception to the application of Subsection (a)(1) of this section that the person who influences or attempts to influence the public servant is a member of the governing body of a governmental entity, and that the action that influences or attempts to influence the public servant is an official action taken by the member of the governing body. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "official action" includes deliberations by the governing body of a governmental entity.

His intent? To force her to resign by withholding funds. It's in the public record.TEX PE. CODE ANN. § 36.03 : Texas Statutes - Section 36.03: COERCION OF PUBLIC SERVANT OR VOTER

The fact of the matter is you have to prove Perry's intent and thats going to be a hard order to accomplish.
I dont like Perry but this seems like a weak case.
Stalinist Democrats: making criminalization of political differences the new American reality
Stalinist Democrats: making criminalization of political differences the new American reality
This hack job indictment has very little chance of going anywhere.
If the folks in Texas dislike the Governor's use of a constitutional power, the remedy lies in the ballot box, not in the filing of (incredibly) "criminal" charges.
It is OBVIOUSLY such a crock of political bullshit that I doubt the "case" will survive scrutiny by any honest judge.
After watching the video of her it's obvious Perry did the right thing. She's pretty sick and has no business in government.
Perry did the right thing by asking her to resign. After she didn't he broke the law trying to force her out, which is illegal, even in Texas..After watching the video of her it's obvious Perry did the right thing. She's pretty sick and has no business in government.

Perry is already gone very shortly, which means he won't be double-dipping anymore, but the Grand Jury saw what is obvious, Perry broke the law.
Time will tell, but Rickyboy's mugshot will be a great souvenir either way...It is all but a foregone conclusion that this bullshit "case" will get dismissed. Probably sooner than later.
