VICE: Rick Perry's Current Defense Attorney Previously Wanted Him Investigated By The FBI

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but if someone tries to sic the FBI after you -- put them on the payroll.

A new in depth report by VICE investigative reporter Murray Waas reveals that the attorney now defending Governor Rick Perry during a grand jury investigation over possible coercion and bribery of a public official, also once tried to prompt an FBI investigation against him.
