The fact that he's only being punished due to him shitting on the GOP House is ridiculous. He should have been ousted ages ago but he was doing what they wanted.

Garland should have gone after Paxton shortly after Biden took office.

Believe he called the leader of the house a drunk and started feuding with them. THAT'S what was needed to start this, not the actual legitimate corruption of this piece of shit. He just started shit talking them and that's that.

Just one of a bit of nonsense he did, but this was pretty big...

He lost a major lawsuit that four of his own deputies blew the whistle on a number of his other corruptive acts (to the tune of $3.3 million). Or rather, it would be the settlement.
But instead of paying it himself, he tried to sneak that amount into a legislature bill to get the state to pay it off for him.

Oh, and this was after he got called out on it.

https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/4185582-well-know-very-quickly-how-texas-ag-ken-paxtons-impeachment-trial-will-end/

this article is basically saying if the trial goes on more than 1 or 2 days it is very likely he will be removed. makes sense because the texas gop probably wouldn't allow a lengthy trial with evidence of his obvious wrongdoing to be aired publicly if they were going to reinstate him anyway. hopefully they remove this scumbag and he finally faces the federal charges he has been dodging for many years

also, the impeachment attorneys include rusty hardin and dick deguerin. deguerin in particular is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the nation and the most famed and best criminal defense attorney in texas for sure. there is a massive difference between deguerin and buzbee, with the former being universally respected and known for winning impossible cases. deguerin is a lifelong democrat but is still somehow widely respected in red texas. if the senate allows the trial to get into the minutiae of paxtons crimes i would imagine they will (hopefully) convict.

Lawyers are irrelevant in cases impeachment. All that is needed is a vote and if the GOP decided ahead of time to vote guilty it is what it is.

Yesterday barely scratched the surface with the first witness. If we have to deal with continuous objections from the defense to their own exhibits, this will take a while.

having high profile lawyers for the prosecution that will provide damning soundbites definitely doesn't hurt. everyone in that chamber knows paxton is guilty as hell but ultimately they will decide based on what they perceive will be best for them politically. having guys like hardin and deguerin for the prosecution helps highlight just how serious this is.

judging by the fact that paxton only had 6 republicans that voted to dismiss the various charges makes me cautiously optimistic that they may boot him. there are definitely a higher concentration of maga extremist types in the gop senate than the house but if the gop at large abandons him he is cooked

Someone posted a clip of the Speaker presiding over a session of the TX House either here or on 261 and he was absolutely shitfaced, hammered, whatever you want to call it.

Probably not a good idea to call that out when you've got Paxton's baggage, but damn sure true.
