Weasel of The Week: Ken Paxton

 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is trying to have a lawsuit dismissed against him by his state's bar association. This is on top of the fact that he has had indictments against him hanging over his head like a sword of Damocles, and for some reason, those indictments haven't led to anything in terms of a trial.

Farron Cousins explains why the lawsuits Paxton filed against other states in relation to----what else?---the 2020 election have gotten him in such hot water that he could be disbarred at last.


The only reason Paxton hasn't been put on trial or forced out of office pro tem to allow the trial to take place is because he's used his standing in the Texas GOP to delay as much as possible. Isn't there a statute of limitations on this sort of garbage?

It should never have come to this point. Once the indictments were handed down, Paxton should've been forced into court to answer those indictments. He gets the Weasel ears this week for abusing his position to protect himself from the indictments and try to bully his way out of the bar association's suit. If Senator Timex Cruz thinks he's got it bad with all the enemies he's accumulated, Paxton may have it worse.
