Sounds like something you heard from one of the lying buffoons on npr.

Pretty much.
Paxton’s defense IIRC was a mix of “What I did was in following with state law” and “I didn’t hide anything and got re-elected anyway, so it is considered part of a prior term and not subject to impeachment if it was a crime.”
I have yet to see anyone successfully argue that what he did was a crime or that the past term act in question wouldn’t have nullified the impeachment if it were a crime.

You know how sensitive NPR is to reporting corruption.

LINK here is a youtube video of drew wicker testimony. it was from him that the bribery charge came. for 3 years we have been told by the media that paxton was bribed by nate paul over those granite countertops. how easy it would have been to just go to paxtons house and look in the windows and verify. maybe the media just wanted the accusation. rusty hardins teams tried hard to keep those photos out when they should have been seeking the truth.
You are playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess.
As I stated about 10 posts before your post, the crime is not the granite. The crime is doing something on behalf of Nate Paul for renovation work. Paxton didn’t pay anything before Oct 1st and the work was completed in July. On top of that, how did he make the correct payment before the invoice was created?

This is true. CIA running drugs to Arkansas under Bush and Ollie North and Barry Seal.
Check out Chip Tatum interview on YouTube from late nineties. He implicates Jeb in the Barry Seal hit in Baton Rouge. The FBI stepped in and yanked the murder investigation from the State Police and Local Law.

Did you hear the about Paxton claiming that the owner of the company gave him the 100,000 shares as a gift because God told him to?

These are relatively stupid questions without more of a foundation.
Billing at the completion of work is pretty normal. Providing a budget before invoicing is as well. What other stupid points would you like to attempt?

This was an impeachment proceeding. He was impeached by the Texas House.
Two Republican Senators voted guilty.
So you think it was all made up?
Posted on 9/18/23 at 2:30 pm to texridder
Well the House was never shown evidence so if you want to make it political, difficult to see how the vote in the House was anything but.

You don't know the foundation facts either. So you make up a couple of your own set of foundation facts, and call him stupid.
What would you call that?

Of course you were disappointed in the fact that someone who has repeatedly called you out for your bullshite is back on. (I never left).
See my post below where you ridiculously inserted your own facts into a discussion and then called a poster stupid.

I didn't say they should be excited to so to court. And this is not a run- of- the- mill- case.
He's the frickin AG and he's hiding from subpoenas.

Let me add a little clarity. The defense team made a motion to remove some articles based on what you stated, but this was voted down by the senate and was never applicable to the case once it actually got going..
quote:

I’m not sure what to say here. Either you didn’t watch the trial, you don’t understand law, or likely both.
Let’s recap:
Paxton went to his team to get help for Nate Paul
Paxton’s team reliably and consistently pushed back on what he wanted by using precedence and established law. It’s not illegal to disagree with your subordinates, but It does raise the question of why Paxton would be working against his own staff that he hired
Paxton then tried to hire an outside attorney to help. Again, his team pushed back and said no.
Paxton hired this lawyer, Cammack, anyway without anybody else’s knowledge on the whistleblower team (trying to be as accurate as possible here - it appears other people were involved in the office but testimony didn’t provide a lot of info here or I missed it)
Once the attorney was hired, he was basically reporting to Paul with Cammack keeping Paxton informed
cammack began issuing grand jury subpoenas (which he had no authority to be doing). In order for this to happen. A local district attorney must request this power which was never done. There was even evidence of somebody in the ag office telling the da in question that cammack had received these abilities when he had not
The whistleblower team met and uncovered what Paxton had done (basically circumvented his office to help Paul). They immediately sent two cease and desist letters to cammack to stop what he was doing.
US Marshall’s came to cammack office to serve the cease and desist subpoenas and question him. He immediately called Paxton. Paxton eventually called him back and told him to not speak to them without legal representation,
Cammack and Paxton met after the cease and desist, and Paxton told cammack to continue his work.
At a later meeting, Paxton and 1st lieutenant Webster informed cammack he was fired and he would have to eat the invoice for the work he performed.
To sum up, Paxton tried to work within the process, but when that failed, he began working outside the process that he is in charge of overseeing. He hired an unqualified lawyer, Cammack, and instructed him to get subpoenas which he had no authority to do (not to mention he had no prosecutorial experience). The information coming from Paul coincidentally had the names of the people from the sealed federal indictment (which Paxton had in his possession for about ten days). While there is no direct evidence presented at trail that Paxton revealed the contents of the sealed subpoena, it begs the question, how did Paul and his lawyer come about this information to match exactly what was in the sealed subpoena? I would say that is strong circumstantial evidence.
I’m not sure why it is so hard for people to grasp this concept: the government has the power to subpoena, and individuals do not. Paxton gave this ability to Paul and got caught. That is illegal, as is the bribery, as is the anointing powers to an attorney that should not possess those powers. We haven’t even got to the coverup part where Paxton paid months after the fact that work had already been completed and the invoice for the work arriving the day after the payment was made.
Let’s just say that I bribed you and you gave me some money to not say something I knew to be true about you. If I give you the money back to you, that does not alleviate me from the bribery I committed against you. That is the scenario Paxton finds himself in.
For you not to see a single illegality says more about you than anything.
