Networks Ignore Rick Perry Indictment Group Received $500k From Soros
IN NEWS, POLITICS / BY BRANDON WALKER / ON AUGUST 20, 2014 AT 10:42 AM
It seems that the mainstream media is leaving out the fact that George Soros gave Texans for Public Justice, one of the main groups behind the Rick Perry indictment charge, $500k for their push for “social justice.”
In a case that even MSNBC mocked as weak, Governor Rick Perry was indicted by a Texas Grand Jury on charges of abuse of power. The grand jury used the fact that he vetoed a bill, saying it was politically motivated. The charges were he threatened to veto state funding for the public integrity unit unless the lead prosecutor, who was busted for drunk driving, resigned. The MSM has been broadcasting their opinions on this since it broke, but isn’t it funny they have failed to mention this being spearheaded by the liberal progressive group Texans for Public Justice and being funded by none other then George Soros?
According to the local Austin NBC affiliated KXAN, Texans for Public Justice filed their complaint last year. The day the indictment broke, Texans for Public Justice praised the indictment as their hard work coming to fruition. Although it may seem to them as politically motivated to demand a lead prosecutor who was arrested for drunk driving to step down for violating the law, the public integrity, and the terms of her job of being in charge of the public integrity unit, it is not illegal to veto funding to any project. It is the governor’s job to veto and even line item veto legislation.
According to Soros’s Open Society Institute’s own news release, they gave $500,000 to help form a coalition that “could change the way the progressive community engages public policy in Texas.” The coalition they helped fund includes the media ignored Texans for Public Justice. It also includes Texans Together, the Sierra Club, Texas Legal Services, La Fe Policy Research and Education Center, Public Citizen, and the Center for Public Policy Priorities. They even admit to utilizing The Texas Observer as a willing participant for their media services. This coalition has also funded Wendy Davis and is part of the “Turn Texas Blue” movement in doing anything and everything to elect liberal law makers in charge of Texas.

Perry Grand Juror Was An Active Democratic Party Delegate During Jury Proceedings
By: Brian Sikma | August 20, 2014
Rho Chalmers, who disclosed to the Houston Chronicle yesterday that she was a member of the grand jury that indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry, was an active delegate to the Texas Democratic Party convention during grand jury proceedings. Chalmers’ active participation in Democratic state politics is important because she claimed yesterday to the Houston Chronicle that her decision to indict Perry, a Republican, was not based on politics.
“For me, it’s not a political decision,” Chalmers told the newspaper. “That’s what a grand jury is about – take the emotion out of it and look at the facts and make your best decision based on your life experience.”
More troubling, however, is the fact that Chalmers attended, photographed, and commented on an event with Democratic state Sen. Kirk Watson while grand jury proceedings were ongoing.
