I mean, three of the nicest guys you could find, Rick Perry, Scott Walker and Chris Christie are on pace to be indicted and convicted for criminal political activities. When it rains, it pours. Another GOP Governor, Rick Scott of Florida, will no doubt have his feet held to the fire and be found wanting like his GOP brethern.
.
First, let’s start with Rick Perry who has already been indicted for abuse of power down in Texas (Travis County). Poor old Rick got caught abusing his power as governor by vetoing $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit, which is run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg’s office. Her office investigates statewide allegations of corruption and political wrongdoing.
.
The governor wanted Lehmberg, a Democrat, to resign after she was arrested and pleaded guilty to drunken driving in April 2013. When she refused, Perry vetoed the money. The charge of abuse of power was Perry’s “threat” to veto the funding before he actually did so in order to coerce or force Ms. Lehmberg into resigning from her office.
.
Then, we have the portly pontificating pol from New Jersey, GOP Gov. Chris Christie, who has allegedly been shown through various emails to have either orchestrated or at least tacitly signing off on the partial lane closures (2 out of the 3) of the George Washington Bridge between September 9-13, 2013 for no other reason than political payback against the Democratic mayor of Hoboken, N.J.
.
Lastly, we have Scott Walker who has been linked to illegal direct/personal solicitation of campaign funds to assist his efforts at retaining his job as governor during the 2012 recall campaign. He told donors to make contributions directly to the Wisconsin Club for Growth, not to him, and the Club in turn disseminated those funds to countless right-wing entities that then made television and radio ads in support of Walker’s fight against the recall campaign.
.
All 3 of these politicos are major GOP presidential contenders for 2016. It appears, however, that they have shot themselves in the foot and will be sent packing. The GOP is running out of viable candidates to face a likely Hillary Clinton candidacy in 2016 and short of a military coup we may very well have seen the last of any credible GOP presidential efforts for many years to come!
