Perry assembles legal team, including Bush recount attorney

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/08/18/perry-assembles-legal-team-including-bush-recount-attorney/

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has assembled a legal team that vowed Monday to fight felony charges that he abused his office and tried to coerce an elected official to resign.

The team includes Ben Ginsberg, a Washington-based attorney who worked on George W. Bush's 2000 Florida election recount team. Also defending Perry are Texas-based attorneys David Botsford, Tony Buzbee and Tom Phillips, as well as Washington-based lawyer Bobby Burchfield.

"Gov. Perry will fight this indictment one hundred percent," Buzbee said at a press conference in Austin. "And at the end of the day he will prevail."

Buzbee said the state of Texas would pay for "some part" of Perry's defense. He did not say how much.
