According to a press release, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has added a very big — and very Democratic — name to his legal team.
AUSTIN – Today, lead attorney Tony Buzbee announced the addition of Mark Fabiani to Governor Rick Perry’s legal team. Mark Fabiani joins Buzbee, Ben Ginsberg, Justice Tom Phillips, Bobby Burchfield and David Botsford.
“I’m proud to join Gov. Perry’s outstanding team which has been assembled to fight back against this attack on the rule of law,” Mark Fabiani said. “As we move forward to protect the Texas Constitution and the First Amendment rights of any governor, I am confident this prosecution will be revealed to be contrary to the law and wholly meritless.”
Mark Fabiani is arguably one of the most partisan Democrats in the country. He was on President Bill Clinton’s legal team, and was also on Vice President Al Gore’s legal team during the Florida recount. He is partners with Democrat operative Chris Lehane in a strategic communications company.
Fabiani’s addition to the Perry legal team sends a strong signal that, while Texas Democrats, the Democratic National Committee and some others are still touting the August 15th indictment of the governor, some national Democrats want to be seen fighting against it.
Gov. Perry has gotten very good at trolling Democrats during his 14 years in office. Fabiani’s addition to the legal team raises Gov. Perry’s troll level to master.
