Dick's going right to the point and diving into Nate Paul.

And Patrick is going along with Dick on the objections so far.

[chainsaw 9837]

Everyone knows all testimony rendered in Texas by cops is categorically non-hearsay

[South Austin 52129]

Maxwell:  "My opinion was that is that Nate Paul is a criminal, and that our office should not be associated with him."

[South Austin 52129]

This Maxwell guy isn't fucking around.

[That Guy 955]

Here’s the Forensic Files that covers Maxwell solving the cold case murder of his sister.

Maxwell is a stark contract from the first three shoe-shiners the prosecution put on the stand.

No kidding.  He is his own man and he's not taking shit from anyone.

They should have given this dude a cameo in No Country For Old Men

Interdasting.  I know some of these people, including Jack Stone.  Kind of an aggy, but I never would have figured them to be Trumpists/Paxonists.  The judge in Powell's disciplinary case came from Scheef & Stone.

[South Austin 52129]

Paxton threatened to fire Maxwell for not going along with Nate Paul's bullshit.  Damn.

the one who said powell shouldn't get disciplinary action?

[South Austin 52129]

Objection, he's not the Amazing Kreskin.

Overruled.

[Chad Fuck 17556]

He's just laying it all out there.  

[chainsaw 9837]

This guy is trying to get a head start on his impeachment. There is no real danger of "speculation" here. If he thinks Maxwell's intuitions are so off-base he will have ample opportunity to discredit them on cross.

[Guest]

That dude ain't no more than 6' 4".

I had never heard of DeGuerin before this impeachment. Then I watched a Waco show on Netflix and saw that he went into Mt. Carmel to talk with Koresh. 

[South Austin 52129]

The fact that this badass says on the stand that he was willing to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with the first three witnesses to stand up for Paxton's bullshit is a pretty fantastic way to end the week and throw a wet blanket on a lot of the defenses prior cross.

This guy is obviously a California transplant.

He's 7' tall, and he consumes the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Hearsay, your honor!  Wait, what?  Well he was told that in Spanish, it doesn't count!

This whole thing is turning into a Bill BRaskey SNL sketch

[C-Man 27041]

Finally flipped on the live feed on YouTube -- what's with this attorney's suit jacket sleeves?

[Esque 135]

What is up with this guy's suit?  It is so ill fitting it's comical.

[C-Man 27041]

What does any of this have to do with Paxton and his criming?

[Guest]

Does Cogdell want to take this guy to dinner?

He's going to set the Ranger up, and then try and say that this investigation was done wrong/poorly, etc.

It's not going to go well.

No, he's just been buttering up the witness.

It's the same damn thing the defense has done all trial long. Line of questioning that sounds like they are setting something up and nothing ever comes.

And yes, Cogdell seems like he loves Maxwell. 

[South Austin 52129]

Cogdell:  "I don't want to bore us all . . . ."

Proceeds to bore us all.

[South Austin 52129]

“Let me try again, Ranger.”

Translation: “I don’t like your answer.”

Getting him to reiterate time and time again that he thinks this was a crime is an interesting strategy. 

[atomheartbevo 89408]

If you can't watch, this guy has been decent at summing it up.

This is about Paxton wanting the search warrant/agents investigated, and Maxwell saying if they did that it would have been the AG's office committing obstruction, and Paxton's defense being smarmy and basically asking why he didn't cuff them right there if there was a crime. 

Paxton's people weren't prepared for Maxwell, or they don't understand about fucking with a Texas Ranger.

 

[kevwun 15621]

Wonder why they didn't lead with this guy?

[chainsaw 9837]

It sure seems like someone dressed Codgell down over the break for being too respectful to the witness. Bold strategy.

Not sure. Order of witnesses is part guesswork. But he’s a great witness to end on a Friday.

[kevwun 15621]

He checks all of their boxes.  He's used to testifying in court,  has a distinguished LE career and can't be bullied by the defense.  I imagine he is super conservative also.  A certain former President would describe him as straight out of central casting.

[C-Man 27041]

The closed-captions on YouTube just "translated" DeGuerin's addressing of Cogdell into "Mr. Cocktail."

[Dahobbs 17437]

LOL, Dan Patrick: "You can call me anything"

Not the first time he has used that line.

No way they expected 2 of those witnesses to be as meek as they were. But they definitely wanted to anchor Friday with the ranger.

To be fair, you'd think the associate AG would be able to handle his own on a witness stand.

[elfenix 34171]

"maybe"

I'm having a hard time following some of Cogdell's questions.

So is Maxwell.

Also, facts not in evidence was the proper objection and should have been sustained. Cogdell is testifying rather than asking questions.
