Welcome to Texas politics. One of these days, I’m hoping the rest of our majority party finds the cajones to play hard ball and stop capitulating to the minority party.
The Subpoena and highlights from the DeGuerin’s letter (hat tip: Matt)
Since it appears you have already violated the grand jury secrecy laws (by discussing pending grand jury matters with citizens who were no longer serving as grand jurors and by encouraging form Grand Jury Foreman William Gibson tospeak to the press) your answers to questions about those conversations are not protected…
If you did nothing improper you should not be concerned about answering these questions. I urge you and your staff to cooperate in my effort to quickly and fairly reconstruct the events of the five day period. Eventually, all the information will come out. It always does. In such cases it is always better for public officials to voluntarily disclose, and do it quickly, rather than to be forced to do so by a court of law.
and on that note…
