Whoa!
Broken news tonight.
We’ve been trying to tell you he’s a crook and now his leadership team wants to tell you, too.
Nothing will happen. He’s a Republican. Do you want to know who is the US Attorney for the Southern District of Texas? Dan Patrick’s son. I am not kidding you.
Paxton says these charges are in retaliation for other investigations he’s doing into other elected officials.
Oh sure. A lawyer fight! Just what we need.
On top of this story, he’s already been under investigation by the SEC for fraud for several years. Not sure where that’s at.
1I worked 2 years in San Antonio in 2013-14 and remember Paxton campaign for AG. Seemed like a slimy character then. Love the picture of he and Trumpf in Raw Story. What a pair with shit eating grins. Kind of a bad week for both of them.
Nepotism on a grand Texas scale with Paxton’s son and George P Bush. Nearly as nasty as the family of Orange Foolius stinking up the WH. Just when we thought a Bush dynasty with Jeb! was insanity on steroids, 4 years of Donnie has shown no Republicon can be trusted. Evuh.
2I’m afraid the fix is in!
3Unfortunately I first met Ken Paxton when he was a failing attorney in Plano. Upon first meeting we shook hands. I immediately felt an overwhelming need to wipe my hand. On anything. I’d have thrust my right hand into a warm cow patty had one been available to get the slime off my hand. Next I noticed how closely his sartorial taste mirrored Herb Tarlek’s. Admittedly, his clothing taste has improved over these 35ish years. Sadly his sense of appropriate and his personal honesty seem not to have improved.
Of course, he is a Republican.
4and this surprised no one, ever. Scarface even looks like a thug and thief. But he is white and has an R behind his name. In many red run states that is your ticket to a lifetime’s swilling at the public trough.
5Nothing. will. happen. ever.
6I remember one of the last times he was in trouble he got up in front of a large Baptist Church and claimed his troubles were persecution for his religious beliefs.
Let the smarmy bastard twist in the wind.

So many Collin County and City of Plano elected officials who are members attend, I’m told, that some boards and commissions have a quorum to do business. Presumably they also should comply with Texas Open Meetings acts.
In a given year so many Collin County elected officials are on probation the probation department has to carefully schedule weekly reporting so not more than 2 from the same board or commission report at the same time to the same office. If Texas wouldn’t so commonly elect criminals of every stripe this wouldn’t happen.
8He’s like Guiliani and both of them will go down badly, swept into the cupboard Karma keeps for fertilizer.
9Paxton said this is retaliatory for his investigations into other officials? Isn’t that lawyer-speak for “I know you are, but what am I?”
