A story in today's Texas Tribune reveals that Governor Rick Perry's emissaries continued offering money and trades in exchange for District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg's resignation - even after he vetoed funding for the Public Integrity Unit.

Perry and his people say this was all about the veto - but continued gestures after the fact prove that it was all about the bribe.
