    Here's a hint - if you vote for someone, you support them.  Whether it's Paxton, Abbott, Trump, Cruz, your vote says you support their actions.

    Ah, yes. The “I don’t like this guy, but voting for a a literal criminal into a position of power is better than voting for someone who fights for civil liberties. Because fuck democrats and people wh

No predictions, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see more than 130 votes in the Texas House to impeach Paxton #txlege

I'm incredibly amused that the Mitte Foundation is tied up in this, as you just knew they'd get into some shady shit as soon as that deadbeat cokehead kid took charge.  Is that dude still alive/in charge?

I can’t believe that dumb fuck made calls to reps threatening their re-election. What’s an extra article when you have 20 others

#1456

Prosecution just stated that Paxton being guilty of article one--a felony--is deserving of 2-10 years in prison.

And Nate Paul sold out Paxton on article three--another 3rd degree felony--also deserving an additional 2-10 years.

Damn, the crew they put together to investigate Paxton is fucking amazing. Holy shit that selection process was incredibly competent.  Basically the best people they could have picked.

not words I'd expected to ever read again re: Texas politics

Yeah, that's some serious arrogance...threatening reps,  many of whom are lawyers, who can vote on your impeachment.  That's what I think has sealed his fate. With a simple vote, they suspend him from office and remove his power, and the Senate will probably follow suit.

Articles 9 and 10. Now we're talking about the affair and the renovation.

Here comes the real dirt. 

"Nate Paul giving his mistress a job makes it more convenient. He no longer has to drive back and forth to San Antonio." Lulz.

The contractor was distraught when Paxton--one of his "heroes"--pushed for them to add 20 grand of new counters to his renovation for no charge.

Lulz, Paxton said someone came up to him in a Dairy Queen, with tears in his eyes, and said god told them to give him $100,000?

#1467
What a surprise that Paxton’s M.O. was to use attorneys and junior subordinates and henchmen to do his dirty work to try and shield himself from accountability, even though the criminality was done for him. Where have I heard that playbook before?

 

 

#1468

Wait...a guy in a Dairy Queen parking lot told Paxton that "God told me I should give you this campaign gift of one hundred thousand dollars"?

The same shit he was accused of a month before you voted for him.

#1475

Wait a minute -- whatever that big binder is that the lady held up, Paxton was told he was being investigated and he was to hang on to that and give it up to investigators. When the investigators went to collect it, it was gone/missing with no explanation. (Maybe it was burning in the dumpster out back.) So the binder is gone but the investigators said the same information was online and they printed copies. Do I have that right????

He wanted the legislature to pay out whistleblowers because he fucked up. That kicked off the investigation.

He called up and threatened state legislators that he would hurt them in their reelection bids.

Most of it is about this though:

This clown really thinks his 'were you there bro?' questions are a real gotcha.

Who is this cocksmoker "just asking questions"?

Let me guess -- he represents Collin County? Maybe Montgomery.

And/or he's one of those who was called by Paxton or his people with threats, and he folded.

This stuff must be very entertaining to all of the Surly lawyers.

We need some live blogging from you all - @TwiceHorn @Brisketexan etc.

They don't teach this in law school, unless there's some bizarre elective at aggy law for it.  My guess is that they are making most of it up as they go.

This is a weird way for Paxton to announce his Presidential campaign, but with these twenty qualifications, he could be the front-runner for his party.

HAHAHAH

1/x What is happening to @KenPaxtonTX is a travesty. For the last nine years, Ken has been the strongest conservative AG in the country. Bar none. No attorney general has battled the abuses of the Biden admin more ferociously
3/x Virtually all of the information in the articles was public BEFORE Election Day, and the voters chose to re-elect Ken Paxton by a large margin.In my view, the Texas Legislature should respect the choice of the Texas voters.
