“Despite the victory, Paxton’s troubles are far from over. He faces trial on charges of securities fraud dating back to 2015.
More dangerous to Paxton is a federal investigation that began when the attorney general’s senior aides reported him to the FBI in 2020, alleging crimes that mirror the impeachment charges. That case has reached a grand jury in San Antonio. A new criminal indictment carries far higher stakes than impeachment. Campaigning to stay in office is one thing; fighting to remain out of prison is another entirely.”
And as usual we have to gamble that we don’t get a Trump judge. This country is a joke, but I hope the DOJ takes it all the way through the courts because this should have never happened and for this long. No normal person would still be free.
The sham impeachment coordinated by the Biden Administration with liberal House Speaker Dade Phelan and his kangaroo court has cost taxpayers millions of dollars, disrupted the work of the Office of Attorney General and left a dark and permanent stain on the Texas House. - Ken Paxton
Is someone going to tell Paxton that Phelan is a Republican? I know Paxton won’t care because it’s a fact but we should still make sure he at least knows he’s lying…again.
Edit: Also, what is “it” that he got away with? I have known he was being impeached but never saw exactly why.
I kind of hope this victory makes Paxton sloppy in his future criminal endeavors, so that federal prosecutors, less mired in corruption than the Texas senate, can make an unambiguous case against him.
Imagine how the AG’s office with the set of people that were last on the stand and seemed to be kissing his ass, will be able to cover up things now? They will obviously just be much stealthier, and without repercussions from things like emails and texts on systems that cannot be accounted for. Why did no one on the prosecution pursue that further. Their excuse was that they used that for the China trip. I don’t recall hearing anyone ask the dates of the China trip and whether or not 1) they continued use beyond the China trip and 2) pulled all communication during the China trip and archived it after. To me, regardless of the other claims, etc, that right there was a clear violation of the law. Any state employee’s work is public record, and they destroyed public records by not backing that up and turning it into public record after the trip. If you think the AG’s office was corrupt now, just wait till all those people working there get their reward.
I get it. I’m military. Moving is expensive, but beyond that, it’s stressful af. Re establishing routines and relationships in brand new locations sucks, unpacking is tiring, packing is tiring, househunting is tiring, etc etc etc.
But holy shit, I’m gtfoing the second I’m allowed to. Hopefully that’ll be my last move too 😂
