Texas Attorney General is Going to Trial.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is faux-Christian who will steal your Christmas presents and claim he didn’t notice that it wasn’t his for a full year.
He’s under indictment for stock fraud. You know, taking other’s people’s money under false pretense, the Republican national sport. You know how we have sport’s bars where people go watch football, baseball, and basketball? Instead of that, Republicans have board rooms where they go defraud people out of their money.
Bless his heart, he’s got a legal team who are louder than they are smart. They were pretty sure that since Paxton got his trial moved to his home county, one of the special prosecutor was Tom DeLay’s lawyer, and the judge is a Republican, that they could get this case dismissed without ever going to trial.
It’s a swing and a miss.
The judge denied the motion to dismiss the case.
Yahoo!
I feel sure his lawyers will appeal because that’s what lawyers do. Instead of spears, they throw paper at each other.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
I don’t think that’s spears they’re throwing.
Think monkeys.
1He’s got quite the smirk on his greedy mug, like a reflection of Cheney’s comic-book villain face.
2Throwing paper? Death by a thousand paper cuts! One can only hope.
3Looks like he has a little less of a smirk than usual. Feeling the heat, maybe?
4Look at that picture. Now make it larger and cover up each half of the picture. You will clearly see this guy has absolutely no match on either side. What he says out of one side of his face will be the exact opposite he spews out of the other.
5The definition, in the flesh, of a two faced liar.
Wow. He stole a $1,000.00 pen.
6And others were too polite to call him on it.
No wonder he’s smirking.
@Gindy51, or of someone who’s had a stroke. But I agree your hypothesis is more likely to be correct.
7The fun part is how he’s trying to finance his legal fees, which are considerable. He’s asked the Texas Ethics Office (yes, I know that’s an oxymoron) how to raise money since his office is somehow involved in virtually every conceivable thing Texans do. Ethically, he can’t accept money from Texans, so he’s asked whether “foreigners” can contribute to his legal fund. And, to their credit, the Ethics office asked why anyone outside Texas would possibly want to help him and expect nothing in return. So far, no answer to that question.
8In a just world, he’d realize the financial burden most defendants endure, whether guilty or not, and do something to help. But I’m guessing he’s gonna game the system, be exonerated (according to today’s Chronicle), and then claim to be NOT GUILTY. Can you say Justice for all with a straight face?
I don’t like this son of a motherless goat one bit, but he may have Bell”s palsy. While that would explain the problem with his face, it doesn’t explain the rest. (I’m sorry, I just don’t like it when we make fun of things people can’t help…)
9I’m still waiting to hear when pRick Perry will face a judge.
10Any news on that front?
Not that I’m impatient but …. wake me up, when one of these criminals actually does some time for their crimes.
11Just out of curiosity, where on earth would you find a jury of his peers?
Other Repub Texas politicians?
Pond scum?
12@LynnN the Lege would be a great place to start 😀
13I have yet to understand why Texas allows this man to continue in his elected job as Attorney General, upholding the law, really? In most jobs, he would be relieved of his duties until the legal process has taken its course–Is this not a conflict of interest?
14Not only too dumb to not get caught, but too dumb to cop a plea. So far.

A much better headline will be: Texas Attorney General is goning to jail.
