Believe it or not, the specifics of her offense is not relevant to Perry's abuse of his power since there's not some kind of sliding scale of acceptability to when a governor can or can't use the budget to force other public officials out of office. Keep in mind that Lehmberg was not a Perry political appointee nor was she a member of his administration. My understanding is that District Attorneys are elected by the counties in which they serve.
An equivalent on the national level would be if any President tried to use the budget to force an elected State official (like a State Attorney General) to resign. I'm sure that YOU would agree that would be an abuse of power for the President of the United States, who's the head of the Federal Gov't, to try to force the State Attorney General of Texas to resign. Or do you think that would be okay?
You didn't answer my question. Did you watch the videos of her?
Aside from the prosecution, this appears weak, at best. Excercising powers of an office oone is elected to fill........same with the 'impeachment' of Obama. Skating on thin ice.
More like plain old harassment. Thanks to Soros for fucking with TEXAS.
