Paxton

[nsacpi]

The investigators described how Mr. Paxton had abused and misused his office to help an Austin real estate developer and donor who also hired a woman with whom Mr. Paxton was having a relationship, and how Mr. Paxton had created a climate of fear within the office of the attorney general.

The misdeeds that Mr. Paxton was accused of committing rose to the level of possible criminality, the investigators said, including instances of retaliation against people who spoke up.

Much of what was presented to the committee about Mr. Paxton was already known publicly from the allegations made in the aides’ lawsuit. The aides also took their complaints about Mr. Paxton to the F.B.I., which is still investigating.

The vote on Thursday rendered the first official judgment on those allegations, finding them sufficient to begin the process of removing Mr. Paxton from office.

Paxton's a crook.

[nsacpi]

Seems like it.

[cajunrevenge]

If I recall correctly he has been under indictment for like 10 years. They named a special prosecutor to handle it and Republicans in the state just defunded the special prosecutor. He recently just settled a lawsuit by the whistleblowers he fired for 3 million..... of taxpayer money.

In 2020, several senior members of Mr. Paxton’s staff wrote a letter urging an investigation into the actions of their boss. The aides accused Mr. Paxton of using his office to serve the interests of Nate Paul, who was a friend of the attorney general and a political donor.

Mr. Paul, a wealthy real estate investor in Austin, had contacted Mr. Paxton after his home and offices were raided by federal agents in 2019. Mr. Paxton took the unusual step, against his staff’s vociferous objections, of authorizing a state investigation of the F.B.I.’s actions. He appointed an outside lawyer who referred to himself as a special prosecutor to do it, though investigators for the House committee said that he had no prosecutorial experience. F.B.I. officials have not commented on their investigation.

At the time, Mr. Paxton said in a statement that he had “never been motivated by a desire to protect a political donor or to abuse this office, nor will I ever.”

In their 2020 letter, Mr. Paxton’s aides said that he had committed bribery, abuse of office and other “potential criminal offenses.” Four of the aides also brought their concerns to the F.B.I. and Texas Rangers.

According to legal filings in the case, the four aides had also relayed their concerns to the attorney general’s office; several weeks later, they were all fired. The aides filed suit after that, accusing Mr. Paxton of retaliating against them.

As the case proceeded, Mr. Paxton’s office produced a 374-page report that concluded, “A.G. Paxton committed no crime.” He has also challenged the suit, but a Texas court of appeals has ruled against him. In February, Mr. Paxton agreed to pay $3.3 million in a settlement with the four former senior aides.

Questions over how to pay the settlement prompted more investigation into the 2020 allegations.

Mr. Paxton asked the Texas Legislature for the funds to pay the $3.3 million. Dade Phelan, the Republican House speaker, who is seen as a traditional conservative, did not support that use of state money. A House investigation into the allegations was begun in order to gather information about the funding request, Mr. Phelan’s spokeswoman said.

Many of the investigators’ findings about Mr. Paxton were already known publicly, from the allegations made in the aides’ lawsuit. But the House committee vote on Thursday rendered the first official judgment on those allegations: They were, legislators said, enough to begin the process of removing Mr. Paxton from office.

The committee filed 20 articles of impeachment against Mr. Paxton on Thursday. As they were being handed out around the House chamber, Andrew Murr, the chairman of the committee and a Republican, said that they described “grave offenses.”

The articles charge Mr. Paxton with a litany of abuses including taking bribes, disregarding his official duty, obstructing justice in a separate securities fraud case pending against him, making false statements on official documents and reports, and abusing the public trust.

Many of the charges related to the various ways that Mr. Paxton had used his office to benefit Mr. Paul, the committee said, and then fire those in the office who spoke up against his actions.

The articles also accuse Mr. Paxton of benefiting “from Nate Paul’s employment of a woman with whom Paxton was having an extramarital affair,” and of intervening in a lawsuit filed against Mr. Paul’s companies by the Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Foundation, an Austin nonprofit group.

In 2015, his first year in that office, Mr. Paxton was charged with felonies related to securities fraud and booked in a county jail outside Dallas. The charges stemmed from accusations that Mr. Paxton had misled investors and clients — for example, by failing to tell investors that he would make a commission on their investment — while doing securities work in the years before he became attorney general.

He has denied wrongdoing in the case, which has yet to go to trial.

This week’s articles of impeachment accused the attorney general of obstruction of justice in that case, alleging that a lawsuit, which was filed by a donor to Mr. Paxton’s campaign, effectively delayed the trial.

sounds like his chutzpah in asking that taxpayer money be used to pay for his settlement is what triggered the impeachment...otherwise he might have been able to get away with it all

Paxton’s permanent removal would require a two-thirds vote by the Senate’s 19 Republicans and dozen Democrats. Paxton’s wife, Angela, is a Republican senator entitled to vote. So is Sen. Bryan Hughes (R), a Patrick lieutenant mentioned in the House articles of impeachment as having aided Paxton. Patrick has not said how he plans to handle those potential conflicts of interest. Both he and Abbott have remained conspicuously silent during Paxton’s impeachment investigation.

“Patrick is much more ideologically and politically aligned with Paxton than he is with the Speaker of the House,” said James Henson, who heads the Texas Politics Project at University of Texas at Austin. But the impeachment puts Patrick in an awkward position given “the strength of the case against Paxton,” he said.

Matt Mackowiak, chair of the Republican Party in Travis County, which includes Austin, said it was unlikely that enough Republican senators would vote against Paxton unless Patrick called for it.

“I don’t expect it. Ideologically they’re very aligned. And you’ve started to see Trumpworld weigh in,” he said, noting that Donald Trump Jr., former White House aide Stephen Miller and conservative activist Charlie Kirk had tweeted support for Paxton in recent days.

Shortly before debate began, former president Trump weighed in, criticizing Phelan and threatening to “fight” House Republicans who failed to support Paxton. “It is the Radical Left Democrats, RINOS, and Criminals that never stop,” Trump said on his social media platform. “ELECTION INTERFERENCE! Free Ken Paxton, let them wait for the next election!” Paxton retweeted Trump’s statement.

After the vote, Trump posted video Paxton has cited as evidence Phelan was drunk when he presided over the legislature last week, which Phelan’s office has dismissed as an effort by Paxton to “save face.”

“So this is the RINO who is responsible for the impeachment of a just re-elected Attorney General of Texas who has done an outstanding job? What is our Country coming to?” Trump wrote.

And the most predictable guy ever comes to the defense of the most corrupt AG in America because the only standard Trump has is that a person kisses his butt and doesn't let facts and the law get in the way of doing his bidding.

Ken Paxton now just openly admitting he blocked Harris County(which contains Houston) from sending mail in ballots to all registered voters to help Trump win. Says Trump would have lose the state if that happened. So I guess now that we know the vote was manipulated to help Trump win Texas we can just add those electoral votes to the rightfull winner Joe Biden. So now its 344 electoral votes for Biden and 194 for the Teflon Don. Even more of a massive landslide than we thought.

[nsacpi]

It sounds like a new Netflix series. There are allegations of illicit affairs, fraud, corruption, payoffs and abuse of office, all surrounding a powerful statewide elected official. But it isn’t fiction. It’s the alleged scandal surrounding Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, impeached Saturday by the state House of Representatives in a 121-23 vote, with 71% of Mr. Paxton’s fellow Republicans saying aye. The state Senate will try his case this summer.

He was pursued by an unlikely collection of do-gooders straight from a TV script. Their leader, Rep. Andy Murr, sports a handlebar mustache out of the 1870s. His teammates range from a wicked smart female prosecutor (Rep. Ann Johnson) to an aw-shucks nonlawyer with a brilliant legal mind (Rep. Charlie Geren) to two small-town attorneys with ability and attitude (Reps. David Spiller and Oscar Longoria).

Mr. Paxton faces sordid charges. The House Committee on General Investigating alleges that the attorney general had an affair with a state senator’s district director. When the senator discovered the affair, she fired her staffer, believing it bad form for her to be sleeping with the husband of the senator’s colleague, state Sen. Angela Paxton. Mr. Paxton then allegedly arranged for his mistress to be hired by a real-estate developer, Nate Paul, a controversial businessman with a history of bankruptcies and lawsuits. Investigators allege Mr. Paul may also have paid for renovations to Mr. Paxton’s home.


The investigating committee argues these actions gave Mr. Paul leverage to get the attorney general to use his office on Mr. Paul’s behalf in business disputes, leading to Mr. Paxton’s alleged violations of state law.

The first involved a charity’s lawsuits against Mr. Paul. First, the charity sued when Mr. Paul refused to open his books on commercial properties that the nonprofit had invested in with him. The suit was settled in mediation, with Mr. Paul agreeing to buy out the charity for $10.5 million. He failed to pay, so the charity sued again. Over the strenuous opposition of senior advisers, the attorney general directed his office’s Charitable Trust Division to intervene for Mr. Paul by pressuring the charity to accept less than half the amount it had won in mediation. The charity refused, went to court, and eventually won $21 million from a forced sale of the properties.

The committee also alleges Mr. Paxton tried to stop unrelated forced sales of Mr. Paul’s properties. Late on Friday, July 31, 2020, Mr. Paxton told a senior staffer to research whether in-person foreclosure sales held on courthouse steps violated Covid restrictions, with the aim of getting out an opinion by the end of the weekend. Though the senior staffer tasked with drafting the opinion told Mr. Paxton these didn’t violate Covid rules, the attorney general insisted they did and between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 2, his office issued an opinion saying so.

This was highly unusual. Such opinions require a written request from outside the attorney general’s office: Mr. Paxton provided a phone number for the supposed requester to the senior staffer who researched the matter, but when the staffer called, that person “was completely unfamiliar with the matter,” according to committee investigators. The opinion’s speedy release was also unusual. It normally takes 180 days, not 30-some hours. In this case, alacrity was helpful for Mr. Paul; his attorneys tried to use the opinion to stop foreclosures on a dozen or more properties.

The committee also alleges Mr. Paxton provided Mr. Paul an unredacted copy of a search warrant executed on Mr. Paul by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in August 2019. Mr. Paul apparently wanted to know what the feds knew and from whom they had learned it. Mr. Paxton allegedly rejected advice from senior aides to leave the issue alone and three times tried to force the warrant’s release to Mr. Paul, according to investigators. He failed. After obtaining a copy of the unredacted warrant in his official capacity, in the summer of 2020 he asked an aide to deliver to Mr. Paul “a manila envelope containing several sheets of paper,” according to investigators. After that, Mr. Paul’s lawyer stopped asking for the warrant.

Then the show stopper: The committee alleges Mr. Paxton circumvented law and longstanding procedures to hire an outside attorney recommended by Mr. Paul. Styling himself a “special prosecutor,” a nonexistent title in Texas, Brandon Cammack issued grand-jury subpoenas for banks and individuals involved in civil disputes with Mr. Paul and law-enforcement officials involved in the federal investigation of him, including the magistrate who authorized the search. A state judge subsequently quashed the subpoenas. Seven senior aides to Mr. Paxton reported this to the FBI. Mr. Paxton then fired the whistleblowers who hadn’t already resigned, allegedly violating another state law.

Mr. Paxon denies wrongdoing, insisting he’s the victim of an “illegal, unethical and profoundly unjust” process.

Little thethe seems to have taken a vacation now that Ken Paxton has admitted to rigging the vote in Texas for Trump.

[nsacpi]

Nate Paul, a real estate investor and close associate of impeached Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has been charged with eight felony counts of financial crimes.

The 23-page federal indictment accuses Paul of making false statements to mortgage lenders and credit unions to secure business loans. The court filing indicates the alleged financial crimes occurred in 2017 and 2018.

His relationship with Paxton is a key focus of impeachment articles brought against the embattled attorney general last month, CNN has reported.

Paul’s attorney, Gerry Morris, declined to comment on the charges to CNN.

Paxton, who is also facing an FBI investigation, is not named in the indictment unsealed Friday morning.

“The charges against Paul evidently have nothing to do with Attorney General Ken Paxton. Nothing whatsoever. That should speak volumes as to how weak this impeachment effort is,” said Tony Buzbee, who is representing Paxton in the impeachment.

However, another of Paxton’s attorneys, Dan Cogdell, told the Dallas Morning News the criminal charges filed against Paul could be part of a strategy to get the real estate developer at the center of the impeachment case against Paxton to testify against the attorney general.

“You don’t have to be Nostradamus to assume that they’re going to try to flip Nate Paul to testify against Ken [Paxton]. I don’t know that for a fact. But I’d be very surprised if that wasn’t the case,” Cogdell told the newspaper.

From Ben Wallace of the Houston Chronicle:

We may never know if State Sen. Angela Paxton is more Tammy Wynette or Carrie Underwood.

The Texas Senate voted to bar Paxton from having a say in the impeachment trial of her husband Ken Paxton at his trial, which starts Sept. 5.

If allowed to vote with the other 30 Texas Senators, many wondered if she’d have a conflict of interest in a Tammy Wynette “Stand By Your Man” kind of way, as my Texas Take podcast partner Scott Braddock put it this week, or in a Carrie Underwood “Before He Cheats” way, given an alleged affair that has become a key component of the impeachment proceedings.

It was just on Monday I reported that Paxton announced she would be present from the trial but didn’t quite say if she’d recuse herself from the vote. Well, the Senate decided for her.

We also learned Senators were unanimous in ordering Ken Paxton to appear before them in person for the trial, though they didn’t outline penalties if he doesn’t comply. Ken Paxton’s attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did lead prosecuting attorneys.

He has denied all wrongdoing and cast the trial as politically motivated, rushed and unfair.

Why you think so many Republicans in Texas are butt hurt that the Bush offspring lost to Paxton is beyond me.

If it was state tax money I could understand, but its federal money given to them. Them not spending it doesnt make it magically go back. I highly doubt Paxton has any say over how a county spends federal money. His issue specifically is that its being given to poor people. That is all separate from what my personal beliefs are. Personally I think taking government subsidies should come at the cost of giving up certain rights. Like the right to buy tobacco, lottery tickets, and alcohol. Possibly even the right to vote. We subsidize bad choices people make and it just leads to more people making those bad choices because they know big brother will take care of them.
