It’s almost funny.
The Houston Chronicle summed it up pretty well:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is dropping his appeal of a $6.7 million judgment for four whistleblowers who were fired after they reported him to the FBI for alleged corruption.
Last year Texas Attorney General settled a whistleblower case against him for about $3 Million. He expected the taxpayers to pay the bill but the Texas House had questions and demanded answers. They investigated and released a pretty damning report that led to his impeachment with an overwhelming vote against him. You can read the CliffNotes of the report here. Take a minute. It really is bad including his affair.
The republican cowards in the Senate, except for one, let him off the hook but they still didn’t pay the $3M settlement so it went back to trial. The 4 whistleblowers were awarded $6.7M over twice the previous amount. Paxton has dropped the appeal.
And guess what suckers have to pay the $6.7M? You guessed it. This settlement and his love affair should solidify his election in the Republic Party primary for Senate.

And then his Texas buddies will get him elected to higher office. MAGA folks aren’t nearly done with their push to put people in positions of authority who typically get away with major misbehavior. If you’ve been convicted of felony fraud, and you’ve built your personal empire by proving you want to rule the world, then you know where to go for more success on a higher stage. As our psyches are transformed by social media, do we know what’s needed for maintaining the country which our Founding Fathers bequeathed to us? How much of that altruism is still guiding our hearts, collectively?
