interestting, but let's wait and see. these tx "special prosecutions" have a bad history of being political and not sticking.

Tom DeLay and who else?

Didn't the AG go after Kay Baily Hutchinson?

Yep. And don't forget that half-assed indictment brought against Perry a year or two ago. The Travis County DA is a joke in this regard.

If I recall correctly, they tried to nail Hutchinson for having an aide "improperly purchase" lipstick. Perry, of course, is under indictment for "abuse of power" after trying to remove the Travis County DA after she was arrested for driving while heavily intoxicated and making a complete fool of herself on camera.

Apparently it's a completely different county's DA office that's investigating him, though, although the Travis County office was the one that referred the case to them in the first place; I don't know how much initiative that took on Travis County's part, so this may or may not be the "political hit squad" at work here. The fact that the Travis Country office was involved at all is alone almost enough to call the seriousness of the allegations into question.
