Ken Paxton Gets Major Victory in Suit Regarding

We’ve been masking some of the actions being taken to corral the runaway Democrats who fled Texas to break the quorum, in hopes of stopping the redistricting plan from passing. 

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has taken legal motion to strive to deliver them back, asking for the removing of the lead runaway, Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu. Texas law enforcement is monitoring them down, and even the FBI is reportedly concerned now. 

Meanwhile, Abbott dropped a additional hammer on them that their techniques weren’t going to succeed, saying earlier on Friday that he is just going to keep calling particular classes until they arrive back. If they saved this up, he may strive to increase the proscribing plan from 5 to eight seats, so it might worsen for them if they keep taking part in these video games. They had been also notified they’ve to show up in particular person to get paid.

Greg Abbott Drops Another Hammer on Runaway TX Dems – They’re Not Going to Like This

Attorney General Ken Paxton upped the ante as properly. He sued Beto O’Rourke, and O’Rourke’s group, Powered by People alleging “unlawful fundraising activity including potentially operating a misleading financial-influence scheme” to fund the runaway Democrats. His workplace launched a assertion on Friday.

“Democrat runaways are likely accepting Beto Bribes to underwrite their jet-setting sideshow in far-flung places and misleadingly raising political funds to pay for personal expenses,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This out-of-state, cowardly cabal is abandoning their constitutional duties. I will not allow failed political has-beens to buy off Texas elected officials. I’ll see you in court, Beto.” 

O’Rourke and Powered by People deliberately misled donors to fund runaway Democrats’ personal bills, despite promoting it as political fundraising. By knowingly blurring the excellence, O’Rourke and Powered by People sought to take benefit of uninformed donors by directing them to explicitly political fundraising platforms, all while intending to use the funds for functions they understood to be constituted as personal expenditures. Texas law prohibits organizations from participating in false, deceptive, and misleading acts, such as the fundraising scheme operated by O’Rourke and Powered by People.

The assertion said, “Paxton is seeking a temporary restraining order and an injunction preventing O’Rourke and Powered by People from continuing to raise or distribute money” to fund the runaway Democrats. 

Now, Paxton has just announced that he “secured a major victory,” saying the Texas district court “granted a temporary restraining order, halting all unlawful expenditures and fundraising while the litigation continues.”

BREAKING: I just defeated Beto O’Rourke in court.

We secured a major victory stopping runaway Democrats from taking “Beto Bribes” and stopping misleading fundraising.

“They told me to ‘come and take it,’ so I did,” Paxton declared. That choice comes within hours of the motion being filed. 

That’s going to put a little crimp in the efforts of the runaway Democrats. Their choices are beginning to run out.
