Perry rolls out all star legal team led by frequent TLR target and Perry appointee to Texas A&M Board of Regents, Tony Buzbee

The team also includes Austin attorney David Botsford, DC heavyweights Ben Ginsberg and Bobby Birchfield and former Texas Supreme Court Justice Tom Phillips

In a presser this afternoon, the attorneys allege that there is no documentary proof Perry ever actually made a threat. According to Austin American Statesman reporting by Tony Plohetski,"In a stunning revelation, Perry’s attorneys hinted that the governor may have never directly threatened Lehmberg that he would veto the state expenditure — the crux of the prosecution’s case — but added that even if he had done so, he was still within his First Amendment rights."
