"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 to support these claims.
The witnesses called by the prosecution have yet to provide any solid testimony pointing to Paxton's wrongdoing. Instead, they have consistently stated that they did not witness Paxton engage in illegal activities. Furthermore, the documents presented as evidence are circumstantial, failing to establish a clear link between Paxton's actions and any criminal intent.
One notable piece of evidence the prosecution presents is a text message from Paxton to Paul, where Paxton says, "I'm here for you." While the message may raise eyebrows, it fails to provide any context or specifics regarding Paxton's actions. It is plausible that Paxton was merely offering moral support to a needy friend rather than engaging in corrupt activities.
According to The Federalist:
During the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, former employees admitted that they reported Paxton to the FBI without any evidence.
That's right...

never heard of the case till this week so i don’t know from what’s going on other than some clips, but
i’ve NEVER seen a lawyer get taken apart like that before
“Do you know what you just testified to?”
NO
brutal...
It is the Bush dynasty going after Paxton. He beat their Petunia - Bush. They are worse than Bush Lite trannies.
“The central accusation against Paxton revolves around allegations that he abused his office to benefit a friend and donor, “
You could prosecute every politician on earth with a charge like that.
copy...
But classy. They have Barbara.
From what I have read, there was no case against Paxton to begin . It was all a Bush plot.
Paxton for Deputy AG in Trump II behind AG CRUZ. Yes, I said it.
If you want to see something astonishing, lookup on X the cross by Paxtons attorney of ranger Maxwell.
It’s amazing. Then again, the people have allowed these clowns to amass too much power and insulate themselves.
Lots of folks say that this thing can’t be dealt with at the ballot box. I disagree. I think it can as long as the people take a long hard look at who they’re voting for and stop giving these clowns ‘one more chance’.
That donation was only .0371% of the total money Paxton raised. Pretty much nothing.
Ranger Maxwell gad good intentions when invited in to do an investigation. He should have withdrawn as soon as he figured out an investigation was bullshit. He was devastated while walking out of the room.
He was so devastated, the attorney questioning him followed him out of the Senate Chamber. They have know each other for 3-4 decades and had the highest regard for the integrity for each other. The attorney throughout his cross-examination showed the ultimate respect for him by continually referring to him as Ranger Marshall.
Make that Ranger Maxwell.

after the full acquittal by the majority of the Senate in the #PaxtonimpeachmentTrial.
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.
