Harris County government chief Ed Emmett today called for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's staff to conduct an independent investigation of local District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal in the wake of the disclosure of e-mails on Rosenthal's county government account containing racist jokes, campaign activity and sexually explicit videos.
The agency that would normally conduct the investigation, the County Attorney, is currently representing Rosenthal in the lawsuit which led to the discovery of the e-mails and which was filed by two guys who were arrested after filming police raiding their neighbor .
Some people actually want Rosenthal to step down, but he says he’s not budging because he’s “done nothing wrong,” although he will not seek re-election. Probably just as well.
And soon, we may be getting a look at what Governor Rick Perry has been doing on his e-mail account, too. At least those that he hadn’t already deleted in his regular account cleanings.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
