The face of the conservative movement. Pretty damn ugly!
Another Republican criminal.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton arrested, booked; mugshot released
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was arrested Monday morning and booked in Collin County on three felony count securities law violations.
Paxton turned himself in McKinney north of Dallas.
The booking procedure, which took place outside the media’s sight, included getting fingerprinted and having his mugshot taken by jail personnel. Paxton also was expected to sign three personal recognizance bonds before being released.
An indictment issued last week by a Collin County grand jury is expected to be unsealed around noon Monday, giving the public its first glimpse of the felony charges — two counts of first-degree securities fraud and one count of third-degree failure to register with the State Securities Board. The violations took place before Paxton became attorney general in January, authorities said.
Paxton’s mugshot was released to the public drawing inevitable comparisons to booking photos of then-U.S. Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who chose a wide smile in 2005, and then-Gov. Rick Perry, who wore a genial smile last year.
