Oh look!
It's thrice indicted Ken Paxton
Partisan politics. You can indict a ham sandwich.
I know the judges on the case. It was initiated here in Collin County. After the now-retired judge passed the case to Judge Angela Tucker (first black judge in collin county and you would probably call her an aunt jemimah or whatever the **** you assholes call female uncle toms) who then appoint a Houston sitting judge to the case, so the retired judge told me the whole ******* story. It is all bullshit. It will go nowhere, but the stigma will keep Paxton from going higher, so he is making the most of it. Texas will NEVER turn blue because of it.
How come for Obama's whole 8 years there was not a single indictment...
And in Trump's first 8 minutes his admin racked up 80?
Are your saying Obama was just that powerful and Trump and the Republicans are just that weak?

I live in Southlake which is not that far away from Collin County.....a sitting Attorney General with 3 indictments isn't a good look no matter how much you try to minimize it or spin it....if the AG was a Democrat -- I guarantee you that you would have a different tune....
Which is funny because you "claim" to be a classical liberal.....
I was speaking specifically about Paxton only.
Now-retired Judge Mark Rucsh told me the entire story after he had (as administrative judge) assigned the case to Angela Tucker (who is very good judge, by the way, love her) and after she had decided that she had ties too close to Paxton (you know he is also from Collin County) so assigned the case to a retired sitting judge out of Houston. When that happened, I sat in Rucsh's chambers for at least an hour where he explained the entire situation, which I can try to sum up like this. Some vindictive ass found a hyper technicality FAR from the legislative intent of the securities act and ran the case through some other agency (DPS or Railroad commission, I can't remember), bypassing the Collin DA, Greg Willis (who was Ken Paxton's college roommate and best friend). The matter was filed in the 416th District Court, for Judge Chris Oldner, who allowed the matter to go to a grand jury, And nothing but political enemies of Paxton made a presentation. It was not a politically smart move by Chris Oldner, because he's now in private practice. They ran him out.
As I said, you can indict a ham sandwich, but the damage is done. The stigma following in Paxton around is going to keep him from doing anything other than being the state AG. (but not Angela Paxton, and everybody better watch out for her. Very skilled politician. Way too "Jesus Nazi" for my tastes, but very talented).
You are in Southlake. You should know about the dude Paxton busted who was running for mayor who sent in 75 mail-in ballots. That dude's going to be sitting in jail for 10 years.
