    Whether those 2 be Republicans, Democrats, or Libertarians is irrelevant. They cleared him of wrong-doing, yes, CLEARED him, not just granted his appeal, but actually overturned the conviction.

    I have also heard that the grand jury repeatedly asked for clarification on the charges, specifically whether it “constitutes money laundering if the money wasn’t procured by illegal means originally?” Texas Law says NO. The Democrat prosecutor tried to argue that legal money could be laundered, leaving the jury confused on what the law actually is. Ronnie Earle even had a documentary made during the prosecution that he later used to try to gain higher office.
