Political points for putting it up and political points because he was made to take it down.

Reads more like a crime fiction. Fundamental problem as I see is that there is no concept of shame any more in politics, especially with MAGA politicians. And why not if only 47% of Texans consider Paxton to be a scum?

Wonder who is paying for his pricey spa visit.

I noticed when he spilled the beans on that before Jan 6. His immediate attempt to walk it back shows consciousness of guilt. He's a co-conspirator.

Georgia special grand jury recommended charging Lindsey Graham in Trump case

Quote:
ATLANTA — An Atlanta-area special grand jury that spent months investigating alleged 2020 election interference in Georgia by Donald Trump and his allies agreed the former president should be indicted in the case and also recommended charging one of Trump’s closest associates, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) — though a prosecutor ultimately declined to seek an indictment for him in the case.
He also made a perfect phone call but seems to have survived it for now.

It was Graham and two senators they recommended charging. So, will they do the un-tRump like thing and clam-the-fuck up or not? A tRump conviction on election interference might make it very hard for them to be exonerated of the same.

I quit fooling myself long ago in thinking anything will happen that needs to happen to Trump. Others may pay the piper. Trump seems to have a deck full of get out of jail cards!

That way when if ever proven wrong will be glad to say it loudly "I WAS WRONG" with a big fat grin!

I came across this "snapshot" a few years ago (2018). While every Republican isn't like this scum, this scum are all Republicans.
