Hex On Valdez

Carlos Valdez, district attorney in Kleberg County, Texas, an elected Democrat, seems to have set his sites on Dick Cheney.

From The New York Times:
(Hat tip: Drudge)

The downturn in Mr. Whittington's health significantly changed the tone of the White House reaction to the hunting accident. In Texas, Carlos Valdez, the district attorney in Kleberg County, said a fatality would immediately spur a new report from the local sheriff and, most likely, a grand jury investigation.

That, despite this:

Authorities have cleared Cheney of wrongdoing in the accidental shooting of Whittington, but questions about Saturday's incident remain.

...and this:

Kenedy County Sheriff's Office Press Release
... The investigation reveals that there was no alcohol, or misconduct involved in the incident.

Why, then, would a fatality (a tragedy that no medical personnel have even suggested is a prospect, though I'm sure Mr. Whittington appreciates the speculation, Mr. Valdez) spur a grand jury?

Do we need to further probe the failure to buy the $7 hunting stamp?  Conspiracy to forestall David Gregory?  I'm no lawyer, but "cleared of wrongdoing" and "no misconduct" seem to leave little room for interpretation.
