Was Lt Governor Dan Patrick paid off to tank the Paxton trial?

Yes.

What kind of idiot thinks a $3 Million donation to a judge prior to an impeachment trial is proper? Patrick was acting (seriously) as the judge in the Attorney General Ken Paxton impeachment trial. He isn’t a judge. He isn’t an attorney. He has no law experience. He had to depend on his legal staff to rule on motions, objections, and other legal matters during the trial. But, nevertheless, he was the judge in the trial.

Just prior to the trial he received a $3 Million donation from an extreme right wing PAC, Defend Texas Liberty. This is the same group featured on a CNN investigation. It is funded by two Texas billionaires. Their goal is to transform Texas into a christian nationalist state by funding extreme white wing candidates against republican elected officials. As an example they funded the campaign for State Representative Bryan Slaton and won. (Slaton was eventually the 1st representative in 100 years to be removed from office for providing alcohol to an under aged staffer, porking her, and then trying to cover it up.) They have financed State Representative Tony Tinderholt. (He has been married 5 times!) You get the idea. They are just massive christian hypocrites.

So prior to the trial they just bribed the shit out of Patrick and it worked. After the cowards of the Senate refused to remove Paxton, Patrick took to the microphone. He could have thanked the Senators, said another fucking prayer, then adjourn. Instead he berated the House investigators, demanded an investigation of the investigators, and acted like the giant dick he is. All for $3 Million.

The billionaires are now setting their sights on the House Members who voted to impeach Paxton. They have unlimited money and they are going to spend it. It’s happening now.
