Why isn’t Paxton in a jail cell? His original indictment was broight in 2015
From ballotopedia…
A grand jury indicted Ken Paxton for felony securities fraud on July 31, 2015. Paxton was indicted on two counts of first-degree securities fraud and a lesser charge of failing to register with state securities regulators. Included in the indictment was an allegation that Paxton misled investors regarding Servergy Inc., which was under federal investigation in a separate case.[4][5][6] Paxton was arrested after he turned himself in on August 3, 2015, at the Collin County jail. He was booked and released. Paxton’s attorney told reporters that he would be abiding by the judge’s instructions not to comment publicly on the case.[7]
Some are sociopathic bullies, others are just plain ignorant, while others are cult followers who never met a conspiracy theory they that couldn’t fall in love with.
On trial, yes. Convicted? In prison? In Texas? It made him stronger and less restrained. It’s like the current play is grab as much power and authority as you can get away with now. Entrench! Paxton is a pox.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and prosecutors agreed to dismiss almost 9-year-old criminal charges Tuesday if the Republican state official completes community supervision and pays about $270,000 in restitution.
Terms of the 18-month intervention agreement, announced Tuesday in a pretrial hearing that had been delayed from last week, also include 100 hours of community service and 15 hours of legal education classes focused on ethics. (Mar 26, 2024)
Keep in mind that while he’s perverting the intent of the law to do these stunts, he’s neglecting the actual duties of his office.
But an investigation published this month by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found Paxton denied requests for representation at least 75 times. That included instances in which Paxton refused to defend agencies fighting lawsuits connected to policies he’s publicly opposed, like affirmative action and gay marriage, according to records the news organizations obtained through public information requests.
Like down south, when white supremacist assholes fought back against civil rights workers for “stirring up our colored folk.” That same sense of ownership never goes away, does it?
