Texas AG Ken Paxton Impeached

[skews13]

Embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) on Saturday was reportedly impeached and suspended from his duties pending the results of a trial.

Paxton, who recently got 11th-hour support from former president Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, and more, was first recommended for impeachment by a GOP-led panel reviewing the allegations against him. Thursday, he called for a protest at the state capitol in response to the recommendation.

Now, The House voted 121-23 to suspend him based on allegations of bribery, abuse of office, and obstruction. This is the state's first such impeachment since 1975, according to The Texas Tribune.

"In a history-making late-afternoon vote, a divided Texas House chose Saturday to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, temporarily removing him from office over allegations of misconduct that included bribery and abuse of office," the outlet reported Saturday. "The vote to adopt the 20 articles of impeachment was 121-23."

I admit I haven't been following the case and the impeachment seemed to come out of nowhere. Do they have actual evidence of crimes against Paxton?

He is a hyper sleaze.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

Trump not surprisingly supports the corrupt bastard, though the evidence for Paxton’s guilt is crystal clear. From the links above:

The vote revealed substantial divisions within the Republican Party of Texas — the largest, richest and most powerful state GOP party in the United States. Although the party has won every statewide election for a quarter-century and has controlled both houses of the Legislature since 2003, it has deep underlying fissures, many of them exacerbated by Trump’s rise.

Few attorneys general have been as prominent as Paxton, who made a career of suing the Obama and Biden administrations. One of Trump’s closest allies in Texas, along with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Paxton unsuccessfully sued to challenge the 2020 presidential election results in four states…

Saturday’s vote temporarily removes a controversial but influential Republican figure in Texas and nationally. He has led an office that initiated lawsuits that overturned or blocked major Biden and Obama administration policies, sought to reverse Trump’s electoral defeat in 2020….

Paxton, who was comfortably elected to a third term last year…. He called impeachment an effort by Democrats and “liberal” Republicans to remove him from office, violating the will of voters and sidelining an effective warrior against Biden administration policies.

His own party has impeached him. They likely have the smoking gun plus video. He be screwed.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Will the Senate convicted Paxton with a 2/3d's vote. I think his wife (she's in the TX Senate) plus maybe four, probably three, will support him.

IOW, 'bye bye Paxton' 'I think he's going to cry cry.'

 

[easyt65]

IOW, 'bye bye Paxton' 'I think he's going to cry cry.'

Crying? CRYING? There's no CRYING in POLITICS...

I stand corrected.
