Final felony charge dismissed against former Gov. Rick Perry

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas' highest criminal court has dismissed the second and final felony charge against former Gov. Rick Perry, likely ending a case the Republican says helped sink his short-lived 2016 presidential run.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday voided an abuse-of-power charge. A lower appeals court dismissed a coercion charge against Perry in July.
Perry was indicted by an Austin grand jury in 2014. He called the case politically motivated, but the Republican trial judge refused to dismiss it on constitutional grounds, prompting Perry's appeals.

The charges stem from Perry publicly threatening, and then carrying out, a veto of state funding for public corruption prosecutors after the Democratic head of the unit rebuffed Perry's calls to resign after her arrest for drunken driving.

Well dammit, he should go to prison. he screwed Texas up by allowing Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio to become safe haven for illegals under his governorship.
Greg Abbott isn't any better, I asked what he is going to ddo on securing our border, then said Oh That's right you cant secure cause then your in-laws cant come to visit sine you married a Hispanic.

Democrats are 'speshul'.
A mere drunk driving arrest,
the dems should be exempt from the same rules
everyone else has to follow.

I've never been a fan of Rick Perry. But some of you small towns in Texas freak out too much. El Paso, Texas is the most secure part of the border. It is so effective we push em all the way to AZ and New Mexico. Hudspeth County though is a diffrently situation. There have been a drug runners moving thru there. So while everybody's pointing to El Paso, Texas as a problem, you should get all those Anglos taking care of the border too. The way we do here in El Paso.
