Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have violated federal ethics law in significant ways when filing recent disclosures of his assets and liabilities, creating confusion about his net worth and holdings, a review by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found.
Among them: Paxton, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, reported owning seven homes but said he earned no income from any. Yet all but one was listed for rent during the reporting periods, and some current residents and neighbors at those addresses confirmed that the properties were rented, the news organizations found. Receiving income and not reporting it is a violation of federal disclosure law, three ethics experts said.
Additionally, Paxton did not disclose mortgages for three condos at a Utah golf resort that federal law requires him to list as liabilities if they are not personal residences.
This dude is unbelievably evil, I don’t care if you get him for jaywalking.
appears to have violated federal ethics law
So? Violations of law only matter if there’s someone to enforce the law.
They should put this on our
dollarTrump-America bills
This guy probably
There’s literally nothing that can be done currently to stop him or punish him. This is also probably the least worrisome unethical thing he’s done lately.
😮 I am Shocked™ that Ken Paxton would violate ethics laws. He seems like such a stable and upstanding guy.
Where do I go to report him to the Federal Ethics Police? I’m sure if I was doing all this criming, the feds would be at my door, possibly even with a properly signed warrant. smh
Least surprising headline since the last one about Trump lying.
Ken Paxton is a pile of fetid ooze specifically and deliberately congealed in order to violate as many ethics laws and guidelines as many times as possible.
I really don’t bet people that vote for politicians when they definitevly broke the law or are scamming money. I feel like their supporters put their head in the sands and give the all politicians do it we just know about the other ones or some trump.
I swear it could come out that he ordered a successful hit on some journalist because they were going to publish an article about how he could only get off by choking underage hookers to death while doing ungodly amounts of blow at luxury resort vacations gifted to him by oil executives where they line up ICE prisoners for him to personally shoot while he jacks off with a copy of the constitution, and wipes his ass with pages from the bible and i would just kinda shrug and say “yeah that sure sounds like Ken Paxton alright.” And the problem is that so would his supporters.
Trump can fix that with the snap of his fingers.
Nah, he doesn’t have the dexterity nor the mental acuity to be able to snap his fingers anymore.
Trump just gestures, Putin makes the noise.

The Onion could publish a headline like ‘Ken Paxton kills local man for sport, nothing expected to happen.’
He’s running for the Senate though, this is a bit different. Then again, you could be right, lol.
Unless his magical immunity to laws stops working outside the Texas border, I’m not sure what the fuck would change.
I think most people don’t think a lot about texas politicians until they’re forced to. Ted Cruz is still running around spending 200k on private jets for 6 months, so idk.
People in Texas think plenty about Texas politicians, and are the only people allowed to select Texas politicians, and they seem to think it would be funny if Republican candidates skinned a live dog on national television.
I mean, Ted Cruz’s opponent was in a band. How gauche.
