Paxton’s opponent, Democrat James Talarico, has repeatedly accused the AG of cutting a generous plea deal with Waco attorney Adam Dean Hoffman, who was accused of sexually abusing a child.
As part of the deal, Hoffman served 30 days in jail, admitted to abusing the victim and surrendered his law license. However, Hoffman didn’t have to register as a sex offender.
Talarico’s camp has speculated that Hoffman received favorable treatment because of his relationship with Paxton. Talarico has since called for the release of the “Hoffman files.”
That's going to be hard for texas voters to rationalize, and while it may not get them to vote D, Paxton is the top name on the ballot, if they're not enthusiastic to vote for him, they won't show up to vote at all.
Don't give it one degree if separation to trump being a pedophile, hammer Paxton on why he's handing out sweetheart deals personally to pedophiles.
Dude fucking admitted it, there's no presumed innocence.
Paxton let an admitted pedophile off with a slap on the wrist. That will make Texan Republicans stay home, and that's all it takes.
