The Guiltier You Are, The More Lawyers You Need
Y’all, I don’t know if even OJ ran up legal bills like this. From The Texas Lawyer.
Perry’s report shows that he brought in only $685 in contributions, but he spent $1.48 million. That means that his legal defense costs represent 69 percent of his spending. Perry only had $1.28 million left in his campaign account as of June 30, which means that if his legal costs continue accumulating at the same pace, he will run out of money unless contributions increase.
Gosh, wouldn’t that be a shame?
Bubba has a saying that guilty people need a great lawyer because anybody can get an innocent person off.
I think the only reason Perry is running for President is to raise the money today his lawyers. He knows he cannot win.
Another point. A truly innocent wants to have their day in court as soon as possible in order to clear their name. It’s the guilty that try one delaying tactic after another since they know what will happen once it goes to trial.
1Perry probably figures he can win and then pardon himself. Good judgment is not something he’s noted for.
2Hold on minute. Campaign contributions can be used for lawyers in a suit that has nothing to do with his campaign? Hello? FEC?
3He couldn’t stack the court with personal fans,like Walker has in Wisconsin?

4I’m hoping Perry’s patron, the rich oilman, will continue to waste his money on him.
5Tonight on Republican Corruption Theater we have a remake of the movie classic “Tom Delay.” Powerful Texas Republican faces a jury of ordinary citizens, who of course find him guilty. Pol appeals to a court full of powerful Texas Republicans, and the suspense starts. Rated G because of the lack of sex and jail scenes.
6When did legal defense fund and campaign contributions become synonymous?
Alfredo for chairman of the FEC, yesterday!
7Those nerdy eyeglasses won’t help now. Not one tiny bit!
8OK I believe this one. I explained in the other post that I had back surgery on Monday that caused intense pain, which caused me not to sleep and I have drugs. Good drugs for pain.
Much better today, sitting here with my coffee, glad to be back in the land of the living.
Should have stayed off the internet yesterday.
M 2 cents? He’s guilty. Spare the state of Texas the cost of a trial and jail him!!!!
9Diane … glad to know the surgery is done and I pray a super speedy recovery for you!!
