Texas Court of Appeals Dismisses Obviously Politically-Motivated Indictment of Rick Perry

Texas has to move the state DA out of this damn hyperliberal county.

Sure he was cleared. A year later. But this phonied up political sham indictment haunted him through his abortive presidential bid -- as it was designed to do.

People should be fired, departments should be defunded.

The state’s highest criminal court dismissed the remaining indictment against former Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday morning, apparently ending the case that started with his threat to veto state funding for a local prosecutor if she refused to quit her office.

After Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg was arrested and pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated, Perry threatened to veto state funding for her office unless she first resigned. The Travis County DA's office was home to the state's public integrity unit, which is charged with investigating and prosecuting state corruption.

Lehmberg, who served a short jail term, refused to quit. Perry followed through on his threat to veto state funding for her office.

Here's that evil sow drunkenly pulling rank as cops try to book her for her obvious, smell-it-through-the-computer-screen DUI arrest:
