Let me be clear, while other members of @KenPaxtonTX trial team run for office-notably @TonyBuzbee2 running for Houston City Council and my friend @realmitchlittle who is running for the Texas House-the only thing I intend to run for is my toilet at 3am. You’re welcome.

This is what It looks like when the State of Texas brings charges that should have never been brought and the Judge pours the State out on ALL Defendants in the Arkema matter. Judge Hill rightfully found that there wasn’t even enough evidence to let the jury have the case!
