Pro-Paxton PAC Gives $3M To His Impeachment Judge, Dan Patrick
One thing about Texas, they don't hide their corruption like some states do. It's all out there in the open for everybody to see. Rachel Maddow with her report on a Texas Tribune story that appeared late last week. As they wrote, “Patrick has previously received financial support from the PAC, including $100,000 in donations during his reelection campaign last year. But the latest burst of money is far more than that and comes as all eyes are on his front-and-center role in the impeachment trial.”
All eyes indeed.
And who are Defend Texas Liberty PAC? "Defend Texas Liberty is primarily funded by longtime far-right megadonors Tim Dunn and the Wilks family." More billionaires trying to usurp democracy for their own ends. In many countries this would land them in jail. Here, it's all perfectly legal.
