🚨 Ken Paxton was indicted on 3 felony securities-fraud charges.
He wasn't acquitted.
The case dragged on for nearly 9 years before ending in a deal requiring community service, ethics training, and restitution.
Then:
• 8 of his own top deputies reported him to the FBI
• The Texas House impeached him 121-23
• Whistleblowers accused him of using his office to help a political donor tied to his affair
• He sought a taxpayer-funded settlement after those whistleblowers were fired
At some point, it stops being "one allegation."
It becomes a pattern.
A pattern documented by grand juries, whistleblowers, impeachment proceedings, court filings, and his own negotiated settlements.
