See the Statesman article above. There's an ongoing feud between Abbott and the DAs.

Yes. But really, the governor's hands are tied, separation of powers. They are judicial branch, he is executive branch. If they are indeed charged, it would go through the judicial process. Then, if he disagrees with the outcome, he can use his "Executive Power" to override the judicial outcome.
