In reply to the discussion: New Information Might Help Send Rick Perry Straight to Prison [View all]nikto
(3,284 posts)52. WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE ON THIS THREAD GETTING DISTRACTED BY THE DA'S DUI??
It is irrelevant to the Perry case.
Maybe some folks need to start a thread just focusing on the DEM DA.
All the things Perry is accused of happened later.
Unless, ofcourse, the "Cancer Fund" turns out to be a slush-fund for Perry cronies. Then, a
whole new avenue of charges will spring up, in addition to the present Abuse-Of-Power charges using the Veto,
upon which, by the way, a former (DEM) Governor (Ferguson) was already removed from office for, back in 1916
Only GOP trolls would use the already resolved DA's DUI case as a distraction from Perry's apparent ABUSE OF POWER.
(As if folks didn't know that around here).

Yep, the Perry "cancer research" money funnel is at the heart of this whole affair.

He is trying to let this appear as abuse by a Democrat DA but it was a special prosecutor
