Houston Activists Demand End to Delays in AG Paxton's Fraud Trial

[TexasTowelie]

Some Houston-area activists are demanding that the long-delayed trial of State Attorney General Ken Paxton take place soon. The activists gathered on the steps of the Harris County Civil Courthouse to announce a petition to Collin County commissioners.

Ken Paxton remains under indictment for securities fraud, even as he stands for reelection. Houston attorney Justin Nelson, Paxton’s Democratic opponent, has made the case a major theme of his campaign.

The original judge ordered the trial moved out of Collin County, where Paxton lives, out of concerns that Paxton’s allies had biased the jury pool. The case was moved to Harris County. Then Collin County commissioners cut off funding to the special prosecutors.

“This constitutional petition, called a remonstrance, is presented to the Collin County Commissioners Court to demand that they start funding the prosecution of Ken Paxton,” said Barbara Radnofsky, who cosigned the petition.

Vote out corrupt GOP politicians in Texas this will continue , and will get worse if its not stopped, and their are consequences for all . Paxton as long as there is enough gop in office or on the bench to save him , will just keep on happening without anything done to them. You would think people would wise up to all their corruption, and lying.
