Texas attorney general was indicted in 2015 for securities fraud facing 99 years. He still hasn’t gone to trial for it. Years of corruption. Still under investigation by the FBI. Took a shit on democracy and was a leading mouth piece to throw out America’s presidential vote in 2020.

And the “law and order” party let him off the hook after they impeached him.

Brilliant move by this guy for changing parties. You can be as big of a POS as you want as long as you claim you play for the red team in Texas.

My guess is he has his sights set on a more powerful position.

That's the take here:

The "law and order" party is still the surest route to power in Texas.

Apparently it gives the best chance of staying IN power too, as rule of law is set aside for the "conservative" agenda there.

"Toughest and best AG in the country" as Trump put it, and apparently swinging the vote decisively against impeaching Paxton.
RINOs trying to hold their elected officials accountable still don't get it.

The scorecard: Law and order 1
