  What about the criminal probes opened against him?
context: Would be nice to see Paxton finally have to face those felony charges in criminal court - it's been about 8 years since he was charged with securities fraud. 
  I'm curious what his bail conditions are. For most people, living on bail conditions sucks ass and it doesn't take much to make a mistake and get bail revoked. >
  
  He's a rich, white Republicon, so his bail is probably personal recognizance >
  
  His bail probably only allows him to stream Netflix and Amazon, but not Disney. Oh, the Humanity! >
  
  Oh don't worry. He'll still go online and call it all "woke trash" for clickbait without ever even having watched it. >
  
  Ken Paxton gargles more cum than the people he’s trying to put in jail. >
  
  Face ethics lawsuit?
  Hell, they can't even  get him to face  process server. >
  
  Increasingly these criminals are getting elected.  Then they use their newfound political position to commit crimes.  Then they say they can't be sued because of their political position.  Sound familiar?  Yup. >
  
  I can think of many different situations that are familiar but I’m genuinely curious as to which you are referring >
  
  Trump.  More recently Santos.  And of course the AG in this story.  There are many more.  One only needs to google. >
  
  Jason Ravnsborg, the former AG of South Dakota that hit and killed a pedestrian with his car, fled the scene and drove home. 18 months later he was fined $4,000 and sentenced to ZERO jail time. >
  
  rod blagojevich >
  
  I mean, didn't he go to jail pretty quickly and stay there until Trump pardoned him? >
  
  Next week: higher up judge says ken Paxon is a good boy and doesn't have to fave ethics lawsuit >
  
  Don’t forget the lollipop! The judge will also give him a big ‘ol lolly. >
  
  And make this Judge Casey Blair to pay a fine and face whatever punishment they can think up too. >
  
  Paxton claimed that ethics rules do not apply to him and that the judiciary can't infringe on his executive authority, even in the act of attempting to overturn election results in other states. Well, Judge Blair disagrees. >
  
  
  the judiciary can't infringe on his executive authority
  
  Kinda the whole point of the branch, but I'm not familiar with the kazoo-tissue they call the Texas Constitution. >
  
  He is as corrupt as they get. Don’t worry! He’s got cronies in high places keeping him safe. Texas republicans are some of the worst human beings in our country (right next to Florida republicans). >
  
  Paxton was charged with felony securities fraud in 2015. Why has he not been to trial yet? >
  
  State GOP is preventing it. Special Prosecutor is needed and the GOP is refusing to pay for/ridiculously low balling a Special Prosecutor. >
  
  Is he in charge of his own prosecution? >
  
  Lawsuits aren't criminal, they're civil. There's no prosecution in this instance, just a bunch of lawyers. >
  
  In a separate case, he's been indicted by a grand jury for securities fraud, which is also what he's being sued for.
  He was indicted in 2015. >
  
  Foreigner here, is that state of federal? What's holding up the process of charges after initial indictment in theory outside the in practice fact that as Texas AG he seems to be able to stall them indefinitely due to his position somehow? >
  
  It’s federal, but it happened in the state of Texas where he’ll be tried, if I’m not mistaken. From what I understand, all securities fraud is a federal offense. >
  
  As a Texan I'll believe it when I see it.  Last year he was served at home.  His wife said he wasn't there.  The process server waited and 5 minutes later Paxton's wife drove off with Kenny ducking down hiding, then didn't show to court claiming he had no reasonable way to know he had been subpoenaed. >
  
  He also said he feared for his life lol. >
  
  Paxton has been indicted for fraud since 2017...
  still waiting for him to face any consequences for that. >
  
  Still nothing about the fraud and bribery?!? 😂 >
  
  He should have faced an ethics lawsuit 8 years ago
  What he should be facing NOW is a prison sentence >
  
  Not a very honest man - do we want him as a lawyer?  Texans should make sure he can do no more harm. >
  
  Us sane Texans are trying. Texas is getting more purple, there’s hope. >
  
  So, we all know nothing will come of this. But let’s say, hypothetically, that he WAS disbarred for this. Would that automatically make him ineligible to serve as AG? Or are you even required to be a legally practicing attorney to hold that position? >
  
  A law license is not a requirement apparently. >
  
  This came up with Bill Barr, being a licensed attorney is not a requirement to be the US AG but it does cause issues.
  Any prosecutors working in the AG office that allow a non-attorney to be part of a case risks being disbarred themselves too. Meaning the disbarred AG can't be involved in any of the cases that the office is handling which kinda negates the whole point of being the top prosecutor. If Paxton loses his law license, it would neuter the AG's office in theory though given his history he'll just ignore that too.
  He just needs to be thrown in jail where he belongs. >
  
  Hope there is a day of reckoning for this pathetic excuse for a human being, and an avoidable drain on resources.
