The Chronicle‘s Liz Austin Peterson reports that Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole thinks the FBI is about to try to take him out:
Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole said Thursday that he expects to be forced from office by an FBI investigation into corruption allegations that appears to be centering on the design of his home by a prominent retired architect.
The Precinct 4 commissioner said FBI agents have interviewed many of his friends, some as recently as this week. He said he expects to be called in for questioning soon and would not be surprised to be indicted, though he insists he is innocent.
“I guarantee they can take that information that they’ve got and the friends that they’ve talked to and they can make a case on me,” said Eversole, who volunteered the update regarding the investigation when asked about recommended ethics changes at the county. “That’s why I say my days are numbered. There’s no doubt about it.”
Not to convict the man before he’s had as much as a day in court, but if Eversole actually believes the feds have a case and his “days are numbered,” shouldn’t he consider resigning to get his legal affairs in order?
