Random thought of the day. I hope this thread ultimately gets locked with the last post being a picture of Paxton being led away in handcuffs.

John Cornyn, is that you?

 Well, Nate's jailtime sentencing has been expedited.  Which would explain, in part, why Ken's been up to so much bat-shittery lately.  Which is saying something.  As i cross-post, Nate's either going to be cutting a deal or getting his deal cut.  And Ken's gonna do even crazier shit.  Thoughts & Prayers to their respective families for what happens in 2027.

Y’all are slipping yet again on watch, Houston courts letting him walk on the securities fraud with 400k fine and community service.

"pre-trial diversion agreement"  = deferred adjudication? Reporting on legal matters is so imprecise. Looks like there was a concerted effort by both parties to let him skate. What a colossal fucking waste of resources and yet another enormous green light to the continuing lawlessness  of the state's top law enforcement agent. I'd say it's embarrassing but Texas is beyond that obviously.

Is the Nate Paul stuff state or federal?

federal, though he is supposed to serve some days in jail on contempt charges from civil dispute in Travis County 

 

so... who is the NBA player he wired $100k to in 2022? Haven't followed this so closely

it's too late in the day for me to be accurate on anything, hence my edit. but one thing I do know ---- Natey boy. has been eating his feelings

I don't know what's funnier.  The 15 hours of Legal Ethics Training for the Attorney General of the 2nd largest state in America.  Or watching his good eye bulge out of his skull when the cartel gets ahold of him after he's outta office.

He’ll do two terms in the US Senate first. He’s very likely to primary Cornyn.

This is beyond ridiculous... Much be nice to be held to different rules.

“But let me be clear, at no time was he going to enter any plea bargain agreement or admit to conduct that simply did not occur,” Cogdell said in a statement. “There is no admission of any wrongdoing on Ken’s part in the agreement because there was no wrongdoing on his part.”

 

Still won't and doesn't have to admit what he did was actually wrong.

Just don't blame the lawyers, right @Gatorubet?

It's all real.  This is how it all ends.  The fascists are untouchable, because the rules don't matter to them.

Oh ye of little faiths.  Or yees.  Plural?  Yees?  Yeets?  Dammit, I had something for this.  He'll wreak more havoc.  As you've noticed he's been on a particularly wild bender as of late, even for him.  With regard to lawsuits and claims and suits and general buffoonery.  And yes, we are absolutely stuck with him for several years and he may even run for an even higher office.  And he'll probably win it.  But I promise you with 95% certainty...they are coming for him once he leaves office.  The people he crossed live to right the wrongs done against them.  His only recourse is to remain in public office because they don't target elected officials, particularly those in law enforcement. It won't be this cycle, or even the next.  And he'll visit much hatred and pain onto the people of Texas.  But take some solace in the fact that they will implement horrific suffering to him.  His last days will be some of the worst days of any human being in history has ever experienced.  He is a cornered rat and we'll have to live with him for awhile.  But eventually, he's going to get caught in a trap.  And that trap is a week-long 'experiment' in suffering.

Brian Wice, the special prosecutor who makes his living as a defense attorney -- great job, bitch 

The fact that his regular gig is as defense counsel has zero to do with the result. I say this as someone who has worked on both sides of the system.

I’m not defending the agreement, but him being a defense attorney getting the blame is a weak take.

I dunno. Ask my low income client that got a pretrial diversion just like this for his charge of felony domestic violence-strangulation.

To be clear, it IS a generous offer from the State, and I don’t like it. It’s not the anomaly that some people think.

Am I supposed to take from them making a deal that the prosecutor didn't think they had enough to convict?

That might figure into it. Pretrial diversion isn’t just reserved for cases with “proof problems” though. I’ve gotten LOTS of them for clients with cases that were clearly slam dunks for the State.

Ok sure, but my comment was personal to him. I have quite a bit of familiarity with the guy and he's a certain... strain... of defense attorney. The kind that quotes Shakespeare in his briefs, name-drops continually, and dances up to the edge of outright misrepresentations to the court

Just catching up here, but he's getting off with a 300k fine and community service?  Really?  After almost a decade of indictments?  This...does not bode well for anything in our justice system.

the fact he didn't have to enter a guilty or even nolo contendere plea to get this sweet deal makes my blood boil.

Now he’s looking for a link between Boeing’s quality problems and diversity. As he becomes more popular by the day in Texas, he is without a doubt the most loathsome AG in America:

DALLAS (AP) — The Texas attorney general has opened an investigation into a key Boeing supplier that is already facing scrutiny from federal regulators over quality of parts that it provides to the aircraft maker.

The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said it began looking into Spirit AeroSystems because of “apparent manufacturing defects” in parts that “have led to numerous concerning or dangerous incidents.”

In a statement Friday, a Spirit spokesman said, “While we do not comment on investigations, Spirit is wholly focused on providing the highest quality products to all our customers, to include the Boeing Company.”

Paxton asked the Wichita, Kansas-based supplier to turn over documents produced since the start of 2022 about communication with investors and Boeing about flaws in parts and corrective steps the company took.

The request goes into detail in seeking internal discussions around Spirit’s efforts to create a diverse workforce “and whether those commitments are unlawful or are compromising the company’s manufacturing processes.” Paxton asked for a breakdown of Spirit's workforce by race, sexual orientation and other factors, and whether the makeup has changed over time

Lmao I remember when Ken got off on his impeachment, the "trust the system" people kept chiding the thread that Ken still had his federal charges looming over him.

Why do we even have laws? (Rhetorical)

What is this cartel stuff? I always see you alluding to it, but I don't know if you ever laid out the connection. 

Is he somehow our states' most loathsome political figure? There are soooo many to choose from, hard to pick just one.
