I highly doubt it. Pretty sure they are going to push this to the max, think that Abbott won't follow thru on kicking Wu out of office, don't believe that He and Paxton will actually file criminal bribery charges, and start the removal process on the rest of 'em.
We'll see.
O-rourke has his contempt hearing on Aug 26.
Judge Megan Fahey on Saturday issued a modified temporary restraining order (TRO) against O’Rourke and his organization, Powered by People, after allegations that they used deceptive fundraising practices to fund the lawmakers who fled to New York, Illinois, and other areas of the country.
The court held that the organization raised money from Texans under the guise of political donations. However, the group allegedly used those funds to cover the personal expenses of the erstwhile legislators. The judge argued that this “constitutes false, misleading, or deceptive acts under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act” and claimed that “harm is imminent to the State, and if the Court does not issue this order, the State will be irreparably injured.”
That's a CRIMINAL ALLEGATION, from the Judge, folks - not a civil violation.
