Texas governor Rick Perry has been indicted for abuse of power after carrying out a threat to veto funding for state public corruption prosecutors.

The potential Republican candidate for president in 2016 is accused of abusing his official powers by publicly promising to veto $7.5m for the state public integrity unit at the Travis County district attorney’s office.

He was indicted by an Austin grand jury on Friday on felony counts of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Maximum punishment on the first charge is five to 99 years in prison. The second is two to 10 years.

I can't tell if this is a perfectly reasonable charge, or if it is a political attack used to derail and potential Presidential run.

it's a political attack, what else would you expect to be posted by **********? something fair? pfft. according to ********** it's wrong when it happens to BO but perfectly good and right when it happens to rick Perry.

from op article::::::

the left-leaning Texans for Public Justice government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint accusing the governor of coercion because he threatened to use his veto before actually doing so in an attempt to put pressure on Lehmberg to quit.

I hope he's convicted and the precendent used to convict Obama for doing the same shit every damn day since he was elected.
