>> Of course then there are the other pertinent facts in the case. She was a Dem in a state where it would be better to be a criminal on the lam than a Dem. She headed an agency that identified corruption in the state. Many of those corrupt pols singled out by her agency were Rs. Apparently, Perry was under scrutiny. The woman was inebriated. Not just drunk. Perry would have been acting inappropriately had he not called for her resignation. I don't think withholding the money was the best course of action -- but there is nothing illegal about a governor threatening veto then carrying out the threat. I am willing to let the courts decide this issue. Are you?

CJ saying that Perry was under scrutiny is not the same as it being true. It is true, Dave. Just google it. Perry made the mistake of threatening to veto funding unless she stepped down. Then he did veto the funding and offered to restore it if she stepped down. This is bribery of a public official. Now Perry's woes with CPRIT are even more interesting. Perry was using it to reward big donors. texastribune.org dallasnews.com blog.chron.com Perry is as corrupt as they come. AFAIK, he hasn't ordered a hit on someone. But I wouldn't put it past him.
