    I've made mention of his admitted criminal behavior in other threads.

    First degree felony charges couldn't be more fitting for such a teabag.

    Not a big fan of special prosecutors reopening previously reviewed finance investigations on newly elected officials.

    If you can't win elections, just keep throwing indictments at your political opponents.

    Dems (especially Texas Dems) are masters of lawfare.

    Very interesting. I like seeing the difference from the right when it comes to the law. Black folks in traffic stops should always follow the law and do anything the cop says with a smile on their face, and be as polite as possible.

    Yet white politicians are being treated unfairly by the law and are being picked on by other politicians.

    I don't actually remember you personally defending the cops in the situations being discussed in other threads, but it is odd that you don't place any blame on the perp for possibly not actually following the law.

    I think it's funny that you think the Texas Rangers are political opponents of the Attorney General, and that you don't see the irony between your complaints and what you promote vs Hillary Clinton and Obama (Benghazi, IRS, etc) despite there being zero charges ever filed.

    The Public Integrity Unit of Travis County, the entity you're taking a shot at, went after far more Democrats than Republicans, but hey, go ahead and feel "persecuted" if it turns you on.

    So the Republican trash believe Paxton should get away with multiple felonies because he's a white Republican but an unarmed black person can be executed by a cop for a misdemeanor? Republicans are the scum of the earth- America's ISIS.

    These guys aren't known for such behavior...

    The Ranger Code by Bruce Green

    The activities of the Texas Ranger Division consist primarily of making criminal and special investigations; apprehending wanted felons; suppressing major disturbances; the protection of life and property; and rendering assistance to local law enforcement officials in suppressing crime and violence.

    The Texas Ranger Division will, through investigation and close personal contact with all federal, state, county, and city law enforcement agencies, be responsible for the gathering and dissemination of criminal intelligence pertaining to all facets of organized crime. The Texas Ranger Division joins with all other enforcement agencies in the suppression of the same;

    Under orders of the Director, suppress all criminal activity in any given area, when it is apparent that the local officials are unwilling or unable to maintain law and order;

    Probably a sentence similar to Skilling. Maybe 15-20 years?

    That and the Public Integrity Unit decided to have Paxton's home county (Collin County) prosecute him instead of prosecuting him in Austin.

    The Texas Rangers were the ones that dug up the evidence against him and Paxton is being charged in one of the more Conservative counties in Texas. But in Commodore's world, any prosecution against a Republican official has to be some sort of liberal plot.

    On a separate note, Paxton has a great mugshot.
