🧵🧵We looked at the long - and mutually beneficial - relationship between Ken Paxton and the far-right West Texas oil billionaires who are his biggest donors, and who are now fighting hard and spending big to save him. w/ @carla_astudi @TexasTribune texastribune.org/2023/07/24/ken…
The trio billionaires - Tim Dunn and Farris + Dan Wilks - have sank small fortunes into groups and campaigns to push the state further to the right. And they've always like Paxton, who they've publicly supported since he was in the Texas House. texastribune.org/2023/07/24/ken…
Aww come on, those oil guys are being told what to do, Paxton can’t help them, they need the Hill. The left picked a prosecutor with a questionable donor history, so it looks suspicious, so the trial will fail. It’s all a setup to save the person who when local authorities do their job and catch traffickers, he sets them free. It’s really pretty obvious at this point.
