As we noted last month, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken "Doll" Paxton has been under investigation by the Texas Rangers for securities fraud. Well, seems the scourge of environmentalists, Messican immigrants and Teh Gayz has been indicted by a grand jury on three felony counts:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has been indicted by a grand jury, multiple outlets reported on Saturday.
The indictments were handed down on Tuesday and will be unsealed Monday. Paxton faces three felony charges: two counts of first-degree securities fraud and a third-degree charge of failing to register with the state securities board, The New York Times reported.
Paxton's office did not immediately return a request for comment.
Paxton is accused of misleading and encouraging investors to put over $600,000 in a technology company without disclosing that he received a fee on their investment and while serving in the Texas House of Representatives, The New York Times reported. [snip]
Paxton has sued the Obama administration multiple times on issues such as immigration, the environment and benefits for same-sex couples.In related Texas Republican crime news, former Gov. Rick "Oops" Perry is still facing a felony abuse of power charge, which leads one to wonder, what kind of yahoos vote these ethically- challenged shysters into office over and over? (Rhetorical question - we already know.)
