Paxton settles securities fraud charges by...

…paying $271K in restitution, serving 100 hours of community service in Collin County, and enrolling in 15 hours of legal ethics training, with no admission of guilt.

It is unknown if he can use campaign funds to pay the $271k and whether or not he can sleep trough the ethics training.

…against incumbent GOP justices on the Criminal Appeals Court, Paxton supported the insurgents and they all won. Maybe they will be more compliant if he had to appeal his own criminal conviction. He’s still under investigation for the bribery part of his impeachment effort.

It’s Trump’s playbook - appoint sympathetic judges.

Hmmmm wonder what the course curriculum is for a state Attorney General?

Executive Branch Online Training
This training module consists of the course material, a quiz, and a certificate that is generated when a quiz score of 70% or greater is achieved.

Oh boy! Gonna ace this on line course for sure. 🙄
