The prosecution’s case in the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have crumbled, with Andrew Wicker, former personal assistant to Paxton, admitting to defense attorney Tony Buzbee that photos of Paxton’s home indicate no renovations were made to the kitchen counter-tops nor to the kitchen cabinetry – one of the key claims against the Texas AG.
The alleged kitchen remodel was, according to Texas House lawmakers who approved 20 articles of impeachment against Paxton on May 27th, part of a quid pro quo scheme with real estate developer Nate Paul in exchange for Paxton helping him with a fraud lawsuit and preventing foreclosure on properties that he owned.
During Buzbee’s cross examination, however, Wicker was shown two sets of photos from 2020 and 2023 of the kitchen in the Paxton home. Buzbee asked Wicker, “We can see that there are no work done on the counter tops, can’t we?” With Wicker answering in the affirmative. The Paxton defense attorney followed up asking, “We can see that there was no work done in the cabinetry, can’t we?” The former personal assistant again responding in the affirmative.

Last week The National Pulse reported that another star witness for the prosecution against Paxton admitted to defense attorney Mitch Little that upon closer examination, many of the articles of impeachment appeared to have no basis in fact. Ryan Vassar, a former aide in the Attorney General’s Office, also admitted to Little that he had reported Paxton to the FBI with no actual evidence.
Go Ken Go!
So where does he go to get his (tarnished) reputation back?

Back of the line where us unvaxx’d are queued-up.
Impeached on false charges.
Sound like grounds for an indictment against the witness.
Which reminds me of the case that Hilary brought against Trump with the Steele dossier. Democrats want to make sure that Trump cannot win or can’t even run, because, he’s liable to bring up that case for an indictment against Hillary and he cohorts in that case.
I tried to watch to form my own opinion, they made it impossible.
“When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”
Yes. Indeed.
And bye bye to Phelan. He is up for re election.
At least he’ll be in good company while he waits. Trump’s gonna be there in back too.
Not suggesting Paxton as pure as the driven snow, of course he isn’t. But then, what politician is. He was obviously singled out for a reason.
USAG under Trump?
I hope Vassar gets arrested.
It’s only fair.
It’s amazing the double standard. For a democrat, an affair is a badge of honor. For a republican, you are the lowest scum of the earth.
This is a political trial. It is the nature of an impeachment.
Normal trial procedures do not apply.
For multiple reasons.
Phelan’s playing politics and making deals with Texas Dem’s to do this.
The Left hates Ken Paxton, the Globalists hate Ken Paxton, the Bushies want to put George P in as TX AG.
Paxton beat George P Bush in the Primary.
This is #ComDem_Insanity, Globalist power play, and much more all rolled into a smelly ball.
He and his wife have reportedly reconciled his actions.
There are a lot of people who think they are smart that got together and put crap together. It did not stick to the wall.
Bump
I’m sure the list will be remembered. Yes, it is time for house cleaning (pun).
I never considered my pureblood status to be a tarnished reputation.
“Sound like grounds for an indictment against the witness.”
There were no direct witnesses.
There was no sworn testimony, even among the detectives they hired.
This is not a trial by jury.
But the House portion of this was without precedent. But reeks of odor of ComDem money behind it. Yes, they target RINO’s.
