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.
Tony Buzbee out of Houston is Paxton’s lead attorney. Tony is the best trial lawyer in the US IMO. Former Marine Recon and can read 1,000’s of documents and remember every word. Several years ago, he wiped the floor with the Travis County DA who was after Rick Perry. Tony was a Democrat back in the day. He ran for Houston mayor a few years back but got beat by the She-Jack voter fraud groups. He’s running for District-G and he should win cuz they can’t do a lot of voter fraud there. Once on Houston City Council Tony will tear up She-Jack. She would be smart to drop out.
He’s one of the best guys I know, he was a little wild some years back but that could be expected from a guy who grew up poor in east Texas and went on to win billions for his clients.
He’s a self-made beast of a lawyer and the best friend you can have or the worst enemy you will ever meet.
Here in michiganstan, the democommies control the state, for now...
They think people actually voted for them.
We just cleaned house and got rid of most of the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts that used to run this state.
Everything the democommies have done can be undone.
Next election.
Oh, I got treated badly but I didn’t care.
I sought out kindred souls
Retribution. Annihilation.
So now can he PUT THOSE INTO JAIL that tried to PUT HIM INTO JAIL? If this was all based on a lie, it seems like he would have the grounds.
It is all a lie, but will the TX Senate be able to determine the truth?
Louisiana legislature is also run by a coalition of liberal Democrats and RINOs.
The Bushes must still wield serious power to get so many votes. Doesn’t speak well for the obedient reps.
I wish I had the link, but I recently read an interesting commentary that #Purebloods like us are fairly rare, in that we managed to sidestep a huge very successful psyop.
Probably puts us on someone’s list. Not that we weren’t already there, just for being here.
We’re more plentiful than you’d think. Especially in conservative evangelical circles.
What? You mean an ACTUAL Insurrection?

Every Texan needs to listen to what he said and how he said it.
This might be the most important speech made by a lieutenant governor in Texas history.
