As reported this past Friday, Harris County DA Pat Lykos has invited the Texas Rangers to come down and do a real investigation surrounding the activities of her office and the runaway grand jury from the 185th District Court. This morning, she notified her staff:
From: Salazar, Angela On Behalf Of Lykos, Patricia R.
Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 8:46 AM
To: All DA Employees
Subject:
I have invited the Texas Rangers to conduct an investigation.Subsequent to the “report” of the 185th Grand Jury foreman alleging an
“investigation” by this office, we have been the subject of
inflammatory attacks. This has resulted in a frivolous motion being
filed in a capital murder case. More can be anticipated. This
disruption of the orderly administration of justice cannot be
tolerated.I know you will continue to serve justice and protect the people of
Harris County, and not be distracted in carrying out our mission.We will lend the Rangers every assistance.
Patricia R. Lykos
Harris County District Attorney
Lots of people are speculating as to why she would do this since the Rangers were already “investigating”. Well, for one, as I noted already, they weren’t “investigating”, they were following up on a complaint. Now they will be investigating and guess what? The investigation isn’t a limited one – I’d guess that they might want to step back, look at the big picture here, and then follow wherever the trail leads.
Remember all those leaks from the grand jury? Hmm? You know you do, especially those of you that received them. Or maybe someone might have filed a false complaint? Ya think?
Heh.

I bet when Devon Anderson (DA candidate Mike Anderson’s wife and practicing criminal defense attorney) swore in the foreman of the 185th GJ she never expected to answer for any personal appearance of inpropriety.
If it turns out that the Anderson camp received and/or passed on any “leaks” from a “secret” GJ proceeding Anderson is finished politically.
Also, if it turns out that the GJ foreman was politically motivated at the urging of Anderson to investigate his political opponent DA Pat Lykos the Anderson family political aspirations are over.
One has to wonder if Karma results in either of the Andersons getting indicted?
I doubt Mr. Jennings will get a, “Great post by Big Jolly” from Devon Anderson on this one.
Big Jolly keeps calling it as it is without the petty insults and martyrdom found on some blogs.
Great post Big Jolly!!!

Big Jolly has been sniffing glue again.
It’s time for that woman to go.
Everyone in Harris County understand that except the fat man.
Wake up and smell the coffee Jolly Boy.
The Republicans in Harris County are ready to give her walking papers. That is if she doesn’t wind up doing the “perp walk” first.

Chris Daniel Harris County stamps inaccurate times on court documents. I have proof but was denied the right to complain in court on Feb 10, 2012.
