Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw
Okay, we got us some weird going-ons in Dan Crenshaw’s back pocket of campaign funds.
It’s not enough that he spends caboodles of money on election law lawyers, and by caboodles I mean close to $100,000 just this reporting cycle alone …
There’s $16,000 more but I was running out of patience to clip them so just trust me. Plus, he’s also paying two other law firms.
Then he hired a general purpose law firm in Houston and gave them $4,551 for God only knows what. This particular firm does not show up with any disbursements from any candidate for the past 8 years. I mean, it could be perfectly legit – having a spitting match with a vendor or an employment law issue. It could also be something perfectly weird.
And this last thing probably has nothing to do with Crenshaw but it does have something to do with the GOP’s new motto: Money, Guns, and Lawyers. Out of the clear blue, this person shows up in the Republican National Committee filings. This is a small practice lawyer (her husband designed her website and there is no possible way he’s a professional in website design) in Austin.
Late last month Austin solo practitioner Donna Jean Davidson was paid $15,000 by the RNC. Why, you ask?
I dunno.
Hummm … here’s a clue. On 12/30/20, she was paid $26,550 by the Republican Party of Texas. She did “recount” work for them. Did she work with Paxton on his idiot Supreme Court case as part of the Insurrection?
Maybe this is about the January 6th Select Committee investigation and not a case before the Texas Ethics Commission. The RNC may be paying her to fight the Committee’s subpoena to Texas AG Ken Paxton.
Or maybe this. The Travis County DA is sniffing around the Paxton stench.
Whatever it is, it looks like Paxton.
