Did I say that the AG said he wanted a pardon? Your post election depression has you hallucinating.Another bullshit thread title from pyetroSlate Magazine just put 2 and 2 together.
Ken Paxton knows his lawsuit is junk but wants a pardon from Donald Trump for his charges of bribery and abuse of power:
Slate Magazine:
Texas AG Ken Paxton, under FBI investigation, asks the Supreme Court to hand Trump the election. (slate.com)The Supreme Court, however, is not going to take up Paxton’s invitation. It has asked for a response from the four defendant states by 3 p.m. on Thursday; in light of the court’s hasty disposition of similarly laughable complaints, we can safely assume that the justices intend to dispatch this case promptly. Paxton’s suit is shot through with conspiracy theories and constitutional claims with no basis in law. Texas Solicitor General Kyle Hawkins, who typically authors the office’s lawsuits, did not sign on to this one, nor did his deputies; instead, Paxton brought in a “special counsel” from outside the agency. His suit is so ridiculous that it led some commentators to wonder whether the attorney general might have another motive for filing it. Paxton, after all, is reportedly under investigation by the FBI for alleged bribery and abuse of office. Trump, meanwhile, has been distributing pardons to his allies like candy. Paxton’s suit makes more sense as pardon-bait than it does as a legal document. And he may need presidential clemency to escape the federal criminal charges that could be imminent.
Where in your link does he ask for a pardon?
Let's see the quote.
Paxton wants a pardon. He doesn't have to tell me he does.
Now go be depressed again.
