"We have no evidence..." Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's state Senate impeachment trial is underway in the heart of Texas, and the prosecution's case appears to be crumbling before our eyes. While media outlets have long portrayed Paxton as a controversial figure, the trial's proceedings reveal a different story – one of weak evidence and a politically motivated agenda. The central accusation against Paxton revolves around allegations that he abused his office to benefit a friend and donor, Nate Paul, an Austin real estate investor. However, a closer look at the prosecution's case reveals a glaring lack of concrete evidence...

People are discovering why I have said for several years that Texas is a Red State citizenry led by a majority of Blue cloaked politicians.

WATCH:Notice how all...

@bwaltens BOMBSHELL in Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial: A “whistleblower” says he reported Paxton to the FBI with NO EVIDENCE!

As you’re probably aware, Republican RINOs in the Texas House have impeached Ken Paxton, arguably the most popular and effective Attorney General in the nation. Paxton was laser focused on challenging the Biden administration at every turn — and not through empty rhetoric or heated tweets — but through old-fashioned, traditional litigation. Naturally, the GOP establishment united to take him down. The silver lining is that, so far, Paxton has secured the backing of eight out of the ten Texas Senators he’ll need to overcome this unjust political witch hunt. ... There’s an impeachment going on in the Texas legislature...

Republican House Managers chosen by House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, aren’t complying with a discovery order issued by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attorneys claim. The July 12 order requires the parties to “confer and accomplish the following as soon as practicable,” including requiring the House Managers to provide documentation to Paxton’s attorneys in preparation for the impeachment trial. The order was issued in response to a complaint Paxton’s attorneys filed on July 7. The order requires House Managers to provide all reports, documents, business records, government records, papers, recorded witness statements, among others in possession of...

Despite impeachment and allegations from the Texas State House, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has broken personal fundraising records. In a press release from Ken Paxton's office, he disclosed that in the near "two months after the House’s sham and illegal impeachment, Attorney General Ken Paxton raised $1.7 million dollars in 11 days." In May, an impeachment of Paxton was pursued by the Texas House over alleged bribery and abuse of public trust. Paxton released a statement in response to the impeachment, calling it "unfounded" and "politically motivated." The Dallas Country GOP then passed a unanimous resolution defending Paxton from...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton said Monday she will “carry out my duties” ahead of the historic impeachment trial of her husband, Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, but did not outright say whether or not she will recuse herself on a vote to remove him from office. Breaking weeks of public silence since her husband was impeached in May, Angela Paxton did not address the accusations in a statement released by her office. Whether Paxton will cast a vote with her husband’s job on the line has raised ethical questions ahead of the looming trial in...

VIDEO When you conduct an impeachment, it is a good idea to have EVIDENCE to back it up. Unfortunately the drunken Speaker of the Texas House rammed through an impeachment of state Attorney General Ken Paxton without any regard as to evidence. Fortunately, the Texas Senate was made aware by Paxton's defense team, notably the INCREDIBLE Tony Buzbee, that there was NO EVIDENCE. In this video we see some liberal whining over the acquittal of Ken Paxton on all EVIDENCE-FREE articles of impeachment. Of note is the reaction of the Harold Stassen of the Pecos, that perennial parasitic candidate Beto...

The impeachment charges centered on allegations that Paxton improperly used the powers of his office to protect political donor and real estate developer Nate Paul, who was indicted in June on federal charges of making false statements to banks. In the two-week trial, former aides recounting how Paxton, who was endorsed by former president Donald Trump, allegedly pressured them to help Paul and how he helped a woman with whom he was allegedly having an extramarital affair land a job with Paul. Ken Paxton denied wrongdoing, and decried the charges as politically motivated. His attorneys argued there was no evidence...

Do not let it escape your notice that not a single professional Republican entity has stood up to show their support for Texas AG Ken Paxton or congratulate him on the clear and decisive impeachment victory against the corrupt UniParty system in the Lone Star state. Not a word from The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), or any other professional Republican group.Instead, only President Donald Trump and the overwhelming majority of the MAGA base have stood strong with Paxton – before, during and after the smear campaign to remove him. Keep this BIG UGLY data point in mind. On the...

After the Senate voted to acquit Attorney General Ken Paxton of all charges levied against him by the House General Investigating Committee on Saturday, several members of the House who voted against impeaching Paxton called on House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, to resign. In an interview with The Center Square, Rep. Steve Toth, R-Spring, said Phelan should apologize and resign. He said the acquittal “isn’t just an exoneration [of Paxton]. It’s a repudiation of the Texas House. The Texas House owes not just Texas but the entire United States an apology for what they did. ”This was so wrong. We...

Incredible speech by solitary experienced Republican who refused to vote for Paxton impeachment

Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton was reinstated to office Saturday after the state Senate voted to acquit him on all 16 articles of impeachment that had been voted against him by the House of Representatives.

The verdict reaffirmed Paxton’s durability in America’s biggest red state and is a broader victory for Texas’ hard right after an extraordinary trial that put on display fractures within the GOP nationally heading into the 2024 elections. In the end, Paxton was fully cleared by Senate Republicans, who serve alongside his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton. Angela Paxton...

A conviction required 21 of 30 eligible senators. It’s a major win for the suspended attorney general, but he still faces a federal investigation and state charges.
