Meet Repub Senate candidate Ken Paxton

[Mac-7]

It’s not impossible to know.

The problem is you don’t WANT to know.

And no one can force you.

You know nothing

You just wish and hope that paxton did something wrong

Paxton will stand up to Democrats in the Senate. That is something that non-MAGA GOP senators have historically found beyond their abilities. That is how we got a "bi-partisan border bill" that called for no slowdown of automatic granting of assylum unless more than 5,000 per days. If not for the MAGA Republicans in the House, that would be the law today.

In a memorable moment for the prosecution, GOP state Rep. Jeff Leach, an impeachment manager who represents Paxton's district, spoke directly to the Republican majority in the Senate, saying he considered Paxton a political mentor and a dear friend.

"I have loved Ken Paxton for a long time," Leach said, holding back tears. "I've done life with Ken Paxton — we've traveled together, attend church together."

Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach made an emotional closing argument for the prosecution, recounting his friendship with fellow Republican Ken Paxton but urging senators to vote for conviction.
But Leach said Paxton had been given ample opportunities to answer questions about the allegations and decided not to do so. He urged senators to convict "no matter how painful."

Paxton's lead attorney, Tony Buzbee, said the allegations made by the House were baseless and that Paxton was impeached because of his political enemies.

"The only evidence we have in this case is they don't like Ken Paxton," Buzbee told the Senate, "This man did his job, and he should still be doing this job."

He encouraged senators to "seek the truth."

What happens next​

Paxton's acquittal doesn't mark the end of his legal problems.

The FBI is investigating the allegations made by his former employees. According to The Associated Press, prosecutors took grand jury testimony from Paxton's former personal aide Drew Wicker in August.

Paxton has also been under indictment since 2015 for securities fraud, but has yet to face a trial.


For years, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton allegedly used his office to inappropriately help a campaign donor, a group of investigators working for a Texas House panel revealed Wednesday.

The panel’s report comes as part of a months-long investigation into Paxton’s settlement of a lawsuit brought by four whistleblowers who were fired in 2020 after making accusations about the Republican’s misdeeds.

“To be negligent is just one thing," Donna Cameron, one of the House-hired investigators, told the House General Investigating Committee. "But malfeasance is when you are actively and intentionally doing things to the detriment of the office and to your oath and to the responsibility that you have to the state of Texas and the public."

Cameron and three other investigators spent over three hours Wednesday morning detailing Paxton’s alleged illegal acts, most of them related to Austin real estate investor Nate Paul, who made a $25,000 contribution to Paxton's campaign.

The investigation primarily centered on what the whistleblowers alleged and the $3.3 million settlement they were ultimately awarded. Payment on that settlement has not yet been funded by the Texas Legislature.

Many of the allegations discussed Wednesday were already known, but it was the first time investigators spoke about them in a public forum. Paxton is currently under indictment for alleged securities fraud and also faces a separate federal investigation over alleged abuse of office.

Immoral personal conduct, illegal acts, overt corruption, who knew Repubs would sink to the level of ignoring all of them for the sake of the tribe......................and power.

I never read any of your cut and paste stuff that you yourself don't even bother to comment on.

Sorry.

All evidence points to him being corrupt and generally speaking a bad person.

You just believe anything that’s convenient.

If you don’t want to believe something, the truth is unknowable and it doesn’t matter.

Meanwhile, whenever you want to believe something, you don’t need any evidence because anything can be true.

Paxton will do what he’s always done. He’ll use power to help himself.

He makes a lot of promises, but he doesn’t keep them.

How can we know if you don't post the story?

Oh, wait. That was your intent. Carry on . . .

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is under fire for a plea dealhis prosecutors offered last month to a Waco man charged with repeatedly sexually abusing a young boy.

The deal in the case, which Paxton’s office took over about three years ago after the locally elected district attorney recused himself, would have let the man plead guilty to two misdemeanors and serve a total of just one day in jail.

Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

Paxton is Trump's boy, and just another addition to the mountain of evidence this is a full blown, out of control cult.

These people have proven they are incapable of thinking for themselves. They only do what Dear Leader tells them to do.

John Cornyn won by 10 points in 2020
Trump said Paxton would do better

Paxton is losing to Talarico by four points out of the gate. Surprising in such a red state

Paxton will win and be a ******* asshole for the next 6 years.

The hope is that Republicans will have to shove a ton of money into the race.

If Texas holds true to form, he will win
Republicans and evangelicals will hold their noses and vote for a flawed candidate

But Talarico is drawing big crowds and doing well with young voters and moderates

So, you think Opie Talifreako is gonna win?

Wanna bet?

The more people learn about him, the less they're gonna like him.

Dimtards will flush a few hundred million down the toilet for a loss.

Donate bigly, Simp!

He makes a lot of promises, but he doesn’t keep them.

Examples?

 

[Marener]

Examples?

Wedding vows.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Wedding vows.

That's between him, his wife, and his God. Also not something the party of Joe Biden has any business throwing stones about.

Any promises that he made to me, as a Texan, and broke?

 

[Marener]

That's between him, his wife, and his God.

Any promises that he made to me, as a Texan, and broke?

Wrong. It’s about his character.

 

[Rawley]

Your take in every thread is retarded.

Ken Paxton is cheating on his wife with hookers, she left him for Biblical reasons, he's been indicted for crimes galore and is an overall slimeball.

Talarico is simply a normal guy who has compassion for those struggling and oppressed as he's learned in his life as a deeply devout Christian. If you think his compassion is weakness then you must really hate Jesus who was boss level in compassion.

"devout Christian" LOL

 

[Seymour Flops]

Wrong. It’s about his character.

So the answer is no, you don't have any examples of Ken Paxton breaking promises with regard to his office.

 

[Marener]

So the answer is no, you don't have any examples of Ken Paxton breaking promises with regard to his office.

The answer is that you’re wrong to ignore his history of broke promises.

His character matters. He has poor character.

But according to MAGA, cheating on your wife is a masculine thing to do so they celebrate him.

 

[Rawley]

The stain on his reputation is permanent. No amount of GOP bleach will remove it.

Your cult has made impeachment meaningless
