OA808: Ken Paxton Acquitted & You Won't Believe Who's Stumping for Trump's Lawyers
Added 2023-09-18 06:21:15 +0000 UTCLiz and Andrew talk about the surprising acquittal of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on all 16 articles of impeachment before discussing the companion efforts to gum up the works in the attempt to hold Donald Trump and his co-conspirators responsible for trying to steal the 2020 Presidential Election.
In the Patreon Bonus, Liz and Andrew set the record straight on Michael Flynn in light of the government's recent motion to dismiss Flynn's attempt to sue for wrongful prosecution. (Hint: he was not wrongfully prosecuted.)

I think he was her first loyalty test. My understanding is she reached out to Flynn and offered to do her (performative) lawyering to win him points with the base. My best guess is she’s Qanon connected. However, that’s the rumor mill…so could be a conspiracy theory 🤫 but it’s a great question, I’d also like to know exactly how
C’mon
2023-09-20 20:38:57 +0000 UTCI’m memorializing it. I’m going to up my membership so I can call myself 16th century Saxony F*ck S*it and torture Liz. Nobody steal my idea 😶
C’mon
2023-09-20 20:34:58 +0000 UTCSomething I’ve never been able to figure out is: how did Flynn get hooked up with SP in the first place? What drains was she already swimming in that she was able to meet with and convince Flynn to ditch his attorneys and join her pirate crew?
