This is brutal political payback - do I hear jury nullification?

you failed to mention, its also about misleading investors into thinking he also invested.

So let me get this straight. Paxton the AG voted a law in that he did not know about?
Does that mean he just votes down the party line without even looking at it?
That is his excuse for not doing the paperwork?
What about not telling the Goettsches?

Paxton knew he broke the law all along. As early as 2001 he was soliciting for Mowery. He says he did not know he had to register? That is funny he has done it before.

The real question is what would you say if it was Hillary?

As for me I say let the chips fall where they may.
I imagine you would say she is guilty and want to investigate Hillary over and over 8 or 9 times if found not guilty.

Has he been fined for it before?

I don't know. Has he JL? Did Abbott get him? Cornyn? (not fucking likely)

His inappropriate (illegal / criminal) activity was an issue during the GOP primary. Stupid fucking RWWipes elected the asshole anyway.

Now he faces possible contempt charges for deliberately ignoring SCOTUS's ruling on same-sex marriage.

Uphold the law my ASS!

He'll like the big house.

Do you really want someone to go to jail for getting a commission selling his buddy 50K worth of stock?

It would depend on whether her husband was Governor of the State at the time.

I don't know, but he has solicited before and registered it before, so he knows the law.

He did not sell his buddy 50k of stock. He lied about the investment several different ways and knew it was a scam. He also knew his buddy was in financial trouble.

I have a feeling he didn't register his commission because he knew the shit was gonna hit the fan someday.

The democrats have countered, they have thrown Kathleen Kane into the ring.

And Wolf asked her to step down while it gets sorted out. I do not see Abbott doing the same.
