People are missing something key about the Ken Paxton story – it gave us a blue print for how to get Republican politicians to give a fuck. The Texas GOP looked the other way UNTIL he asked them for money. THAT was a step too far. I mean, look at what they ignored: – Security fraud charges – Damning allegations by his own top staff – Sued for using position to help a wealthy donor – Allegedly receiving a free home remodel in exchange for favors – Allegedly arranging to give his donor's mistress a job Republicans didn't blink an eye. The dumbass was going to get away with it, but then has the audacity to ask the government to pay for the $3.3M settlement for his misdeeds. THIS is what gets him impeached. But don't take my word for it. The memo from the House Committee on General Investigating to made it clear: “We cannot overemphasize the fact that, but for Paxton’s own request for taxpayer-funded settlement over his wrongful conduct, Paxton would not be facing impeachment in the House,” it stated. Point taken. For the GOP, corruption is just fine. Just don't make them pay for it.
@larryhuynh It was the implications of the taxpayer money. They are fine with squandering it. But, I heard he is under federal investigation for his misdeeds. If they helped him cover those same misdeeds with taxpayer money, they would be under investigation, too. CYA in investigations.
@larryhuynh This guy should’ve been impeached and thrown out years ago one by one and they’re all going down. Can’t wait for Jack Smith to come out with his indictments. Hopefully everyone who helped trump will be indicted.
@larryhuynh @GmaIowa His public transgressions is nothing compared to what they know thats going on behind closed doors.
@larryhuynh @aerotycoon This House Committee should be dissolved immediately.
@larryhuynh Why is @GregAbbott_TX silent on this issue? Is he okay with Paxton asking for $3mil? Is he on Paxton’s side? 🤡s
@larryhuynh @Christo24881262 The RNC is paying or has paid for the DFG’s misdeeds so I’m sure he just thought it was a thing… the corruption runs deep.
@larryhuynh @3peasowner They think they’re gonna lose elections in 2024.
@larryhuynh Shame that same standard doesn't hold in Florida 🙄
@larryhuynh Nothing new here. Stop voting for republicans.
