perry indicted for veto threat. he faces two felony charges, one on coercion and one on abuse of office. joining me right now is cnn's national political reporter peter hamby in washington. so, peter, this can't be good news. of course he has not been convicted, this is strictly an indictment, meaning the case can go forward, but what is it that the governor is likely to say in this 3:00 scheduled press conference? >> well, we've already gotten signals from perry's legal team that they're going to fight these charges aggressively. i expect perry to come out and say this is -- you know, these are charges in a democratic county, travis county is where this grand jury was 'em impanelled. that county is a fleck of blue in a sea of red. it's a hub of liberalism in the state. the travis county district attorney who runs the public integrity in the state has often clashed with perry and the republicans who have power in the state house in texas. so i expect him to come out strong. we've already seen other republicans rally

if these charges stick, perry could be looking at serious jail time. what does the governor have to be saying about all this. keep in mind, he's never been the best at the talk. >> how do i look? do i look pretty good? >> you look like you're hanging in there. >> come on. you can give me better than that. [laughter] >> jon: perry's going to make kind of a creepy inmate, if you ask me. a little bit of the "orange is the new blecch." [laughter] no, no, no. this whole thing is a political hit job. this is political hit job by the democrats to sabotage perry's presidential ambition. i'm sure the democrats are lock step united to destroy perry. >> even some democrats are saying, you know, this indictment is a led of hooey. >> the liberal editorial page of "the new york times" calls the indictment the product of an overzealous prosecution. >> liberal washington post columnist ruth marcus dubbed it a shockingly skimpy indictment. >> i bet the old uber-liberal side-boob gazelle is still on board.

tonight's felony indictment of governor perry. last summer, the "austin american-statesman" newspaper reported that texas state officials were warning rosemary lehmberg that if she did not resign as d.a., governor perry was going to strip the public integrity unit of its funding. he was going to veto funding for that unit in his office unless miss hemberg stepped down. and the reaction in texas was, some of this is about rosemary lehmberg's drunk driving thing, but some of it felt more like some familiar politics. texas is a red state, but that public integrity office for all state officials is in the office of a district attorney elected by a democratic county. and texas republicans have long hated that. they have tried many times in the past to defund that office, to get this public integrity office with this democratic d.a. off their back. texas republicans never succeeded before at defunding that office, but then, the d.a. who runs that office. well, she got herself this dui. opportunity strikes. and so rick perry made his dem

perry's lawyer says the charges are, quote, political abuse. soon we will hear from perry himself. but first, major developments in ferguson, missouri. the town's fragile peace crumbled during last night's protests of the killing of 18-year-old michael brown. looters struck three stores in ferguson. police in riot gear really did not intervene much at all. those peaceful protesters tried to stop the looters. also another very significant development. cnn has just learned that the justice department asked ferguson police to hold off on releasing this surveillance video that allegedly shows brown in a convenience store threat. ferguson police released that video yesterday, though, despite the justice department's objections. we'll get into much more of that this hour as well. as i said at the top, any minute now texas governor rick perry will be speaking out publicly for the first time after being indicted yesterday on felony charges. we are awaiting those live comments coming to us from austin. he is accused of abusing his power by trying to pressure a district attorney to resign. t

never actually really liked rick perry. but here is what i can tell you in a little bit of contradiction to my colleague there, is that this makes me like rick perry a little bit more. without this indictment, we would not -- i did not know of his action to try to remove a woman who pled guilty to drunk driving, spent 20 days in jail. she's a d.a. and ironically, oversees the public integrity unit. he felt that was improper and wanted to remove that person. so this is what this is based in and frankly, his reaction, i think was very good. i think this is bringing him to the forefront. people are seeing corruption in government across the board. and i think it's actually going to be helpful for people to get to know rick perry and the nature of what's important to him and what he's willing to do to stop something like that. i think the indictment ultimately will go away. but you can't buy this kind of publicity and i think ultimately it's going to be good for him. >> look, you absolutely can't buy this kind of publicity and

rick perry has presidential ambitions. it is unclear whether this statement will be enough to spare him the development of this all being used against him by his rivals. perhaps senator rand paul, republican of kentucky, with whom perry engaged in a very public spat already this. it was also interesting to see governor perry tried to bring more attention to the behavior of rosemary lenberg in this case. talking about how she was inebriated to the point of three times the legal limit for intoxication. how she grew apparently violent with the law enforcement officials who were trying to book her during that arrest. we will see if that plays into the public's decisionmaking about this entire set of affairs. >> all right. thank you so much. giving us further insight into what is a legal and political story as well. thank you so much. >> any time you have governor perry involved in this, certainly when you have both sides of this the d.a. involved in this, is known as an avid democrat, i want to bring in david hawkings from rol
