Now that it’s far too late to be meaningful in the 2016 race: former Governor Rick Perry has been exonerated of trumped-up charges actually alleging that there’s something illegal about telling a district attorney’s office’s resident drunk to resign, then backing it all up with a veto threat.  Surprise! It’s not.

More here.  It’s frustrating that the Left managed to keep this going for this long, because whatever you think of Rick Perry as a campaigner Rick Perry as a governor was one of the good ones, and deserved better than a political hit job. Still, it’s good that they finally quashed this nonsense.  It would have set an ugly precedent if it had been allowed to stand.
