Hey Jo🤍@joe_jo9
Just a little Ken Paxton Shady Shit (Definitely not all of it):
•Indicted on felony securities fraud charges (2015) for misleading investors; settled with restitution, community service, and ethics classes (no trial).
•Impeached by Texas House (2023) on 16-20 articles including bribery, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, and misusing public resources to benefit donor Nate Paul.
•Accused by top aides (whistleblowers) of accepting bribes/favors from donor Nate Paul (home remodel, job for alleged mistress); aides fired after reporting to FBI.
•Multiple extramarital affairs while married, including one cited in wife’s divorce filing on “biblical grounds.”
•Incomplete ethics disclosures for years — failed to report numerous out-of-state properties (portfolio now 10-11+ homes/land worth $7.5M+ across TX, FL, OK, UT, HI).
•Claimed multiple homes as primary residence on mortgages for better rates while collecting homestead exemptions.
•Wealth growth from modest salary to multimillionaire with unexplained timing on real estate spree and blind trust opacity.
•Retaliation against whistleblowers and attempts to settle lawsuits with public funds.
•Early failure to disclose investments in companies receiving state contracts he voted on.
•Cost Texas taxpayers $5.1 million for his impeachment trial/prosecution.
•Cost Texas taxpayers millions more in whistleblower retaliation settlements/judgments (proposed $3.3M, court awarded $6.6 million).
•Ongoing pattern of donor influence, incomplete PFS filings, ethics complaints, and legal defense funded by donors/campaign while taxpayers foot other bills spanning 20+ years in office.
