Saturday Movie Matinee: Rick Perry Indictment Is Political Payback

FOX 4 News – Dallas-Fort Worth: Gov. Rick Perry indicted:

 

Breitbart Texas: POLITICAL PAYBACK: DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED TRAVIS COUNTY DA OFFICE INDICTS RICK PERRY:

A grand jury indicted Governor Rick Perry Friday for his attempts to remove Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg from office after she was arrested for driving while intoxicated last year in a case that made national headlines.

In April 2013, Lehmberg was arrested after a witness called 911, describing her as driving erratically, swerving back and forth into the bike lane, and into oncoming traffic. Officers at the scene reportedly found an open bottle of vodka in her car, and a blood sample obtained later that evening purportedly showed a blood alcohol level of 0.239—almost three times the legal limit—even that many hours later.

Not only did her arrest attracted headlines, but her belligerent behavior after she was brought to the police station—all captured on video tape—drew attention, as well. Lehmberg is seen blaming the police for destroying her political career, yelling and insulting them; demanding that they call Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton; sticking out her tongue; making faces; kicking at the door to her cell; and eventually getting restrained with leg irons, being strapped to a chair and wearing what is commonly referred to as a “spit mask,” which is usually used when a detainee is spitting or biting. To be fair, the video does not expressly show that happening, and Lehmberg’s defense attorney later claimed that the mask was used to “protect her identity.”

More facts.

“The initial contact between the officer and Mr. Brown was not related to the robbery,” Thomas Jackson, the police chief, said during a news conference Friday afternoon.

Rather, it stemmed from the fact that Brown and his friend were “walking down the street blocking traffic,” Jackson said.

This explains why Brown’s friend said the stop was over the fact that the cops rolled up on them for just walking in the street — apparently, that’s pretty much what happened. They were walking in the middle of the street, and the cops stopped beside them to say “Get the f*** on to the sidewalk.”

Or so Darion Johnson says.

That matches up with what the friend told Dana.

johnny dollar said, “the robbery is apparently not relevant to why he was stopped. However, it could be relevant to why the suspect reacted in the way he did.”

If the APB about the strong arm robbery came after the initial altercation, that is relevant.

Trey Gowdy Discusses the Benghazi Hearing:

The investigation has been quietly moving forward – a hearing has been scheduled for September, but Gowdy says private depositions are much more useful to him than listening to five minutes of grandstanding by Congressmen. “If you want to be on the news, rob a bank,” he says.

Why is President Obama returning unexpectedly to Washington? That question misses the point, says Charles Krauthammer:

Look, I think the problem is not that he’s on vacation. I think the problem is, what does he do when he’s not on vacation? Or what would he be doing even if he was in the White House? He can have all the communications equipment in the world that he needs, but what is he communicating?
