Once again we return to the charges from the 185th Grand Jury and media reports that Harris County DA Pat Lykos initiated an “investigation” of said grand jury. The central figure in these allegations is the Harris County DA’s Chief Investigator Don McWilliams. I caught up with him this afternoon and he provided the following statement about the “investigation” and his role in it. I think that after you read his statement, you might surmise that the reports have been greatly exaggerated. But, you decide:

Pay particular attention to that last line:

What I have recounted in this document was provided to the Attorneys Pro Tem when I met with them, outside the presence of the Grand Jury, in November.

So the Attorneys Pro Tem knew that Chief Investigator McWilliams did a quick check on the 22nd for a legitimate law enforcement purpose and found nothing, so he stopped investigating. And they knew that on the 29th, his “investigation” consisted of nothing more than a “cursory internet search” as stated by DA Lykos. And still they tried to frame it as some sort of nefarious “investigation” of the grand jury members.

Not politically motivated?

My arse.
