| Texas Gov. Perry Turns Himself In |
| 2014-08-20 |
| [DFW.CBSLOCAL] Texas Governor Rick Perry was booked on two felony counts of abuse of power for carrying out a threat to veto funding to state public corruption prosecutors. He was booked-in, fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken, which is standard procedure for every defendant charged with a felony. His spokeswoman told CBS 11 News they didn't ask for any special treatment. Perry, who is mulling a second presidential run in 2016, reported to the Travis County Courthouse on Tuesday. The Republican has called the case a political ploy, and many top Republicans are supporting him. |

| #4 Actually, making every politician and senior bureaucrat go in for a mugshot and finger printing might not be a bad idea. |

| #3 “The actions that I took were lawful, they were legal and they were proper,” said Perry to supporters. Just ask Obama what's legal. |
