Texas grand jury clears Planned Parenthood, indicts its accusers

[RunInRed 19,632]

Well, well ...

A Texas investigation into Planned Parenthood on Monday culminated in an indictment -- of the organization's accusers instead of the group.

The Harris County District Attorney's office announced that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast had been cleared in the two-month-long investigation.

But the grand jury did indict two individuals who were involved in making secret recordings of the group that were released to publicly discredit the group, which provides health services and abortions.

David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were indicted for tampering with a governmental record, a second-degree felony, and Daleiden was also indicted on the count of prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs, a class A misdemeanor, according to the Harris County district attorney.

According to the Harris County District Clerk's website, a warrant for Daleiden had been issued Monday evening. Daleiden's Twitter profile identifies his residence as Irvine, California, where his group, the Center for Medical Progress, is located. The indictments were not yet available.

Planned Parenthood officials lauded the indictments.

"As the dust settles and the truth comes out, it's become totally clear that the only people who engaged in wrongdoing are the criminals behind this fraud, and we're glad they're being held accountable," said Eric Ferrero, vice president of communications for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in a statement.

According to Planned Parenthood, officials in eleven states have cleared the group of wrongdoing. Officials in another eight states declined to even investigate the accusations made by the Center for Medical Progress.

That's ridiculous IMHO. If the filmers broke the law they shoud be punished but so should the PP people who were also breaking the law. Do you agree?

The grand jury didn't find the evidence to charge the folks you had already convicted.

I think Fox News is not a good barometer of what the law actually is.

Well you saw the Grand Jury ruling, so what do you think?

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

Suppose I am out someplace and come to sign that says Do Not Enter Under Penalty of Law. I enter any way. I go a little further and come upon a man shooting and killing another. I video it. Should both me and the killer be convicted with the video as evidence.

Was it showed on FOX news?

The full length videos were available for curious minds at the Center for Medical Progress website. FOX has nothing to do with that but seeing how FOX is the only news outlet that isn't in this admin back pocket, I guess you safe spacers have to whine about something

Safe spacers. LOL.

What ever happened to free thinkers anyway? No, to hell with that. I am a democrat and I believe what I believe no matter what! Go to hell FOX News.

So much for fair and balanced from the aforementioned crowd. It's more like hypocrisy or bust!

Really? When peddlers in baby parts can haggle over prices and it's the WHISTLE BLOWERS who get in trouble ?

Truly horrific times.

That's your fantasy. Not the reality. Thank goodness the grand jury could see through the haze.

I'm not sold anyone in Austin can see through the haze. Lets be honest here, PP is a political organization and there are those who will go to every conceivable length to protect them. Im not saying they're guilty of anything but I am saying that this is a political move.

Right. Because the price for baby parts WEREN'T actually being haggled over, what so ever ?

They were.

[TheBlueVue 177]

Im going on record and saying right here this wont amount to anything. Its a political move by a prosecutor that convinced a grand jury to indict. Whats the old saying..a prosecutor can come up with a reason for a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich? This is a political move to protect PP and its all sizzle.

Actually the grand jury sited an extremely poorly written law that they said allows for the for profit selling of baby body parts.

Folks, we live in Animal Farm America.

This is interesting: 5 things MSM will not tell you about CMP indictment....

One of the prosecutors sits on Planned Parenthood’s board of directors....

David Daleiden is not being indicted for doctoring the videos.

The “highly edited” claim is bogus.

Boy, you folks were holding grand juries in high esteem when they were letting cops off for shooting unarmed black kids.

Omnipotent? wtf has that got to do with this thread? There are some relevant facts worth bearing in mind about this indictment..

For example: One of the prosecutors sits on Planned Parenthood’s board of directors....

David Daleiden is not being indicted for doctoring the videos.

The “highly edited” claim is bogus.

Are these "false facts"? I guarantee you this indictment will go nowhere. The case is incredibly flimsy but g'head an celebrate while you can. PP is a disgrace to humanity.
