What is going on here?!

Many Freepers I know supported/worked hard for to get Mr. Paxton elected (against a Bush I recall?!).

He trounced him!

Has it got something to do with that, maybe?

The trial is a sham.

House republicans in Texas are dangerous rinos

This is Tom DeLay/Donald Trump II.

Can’t beat them at the ballot box, get a corrupt Democrat DA to lawfare them to death.

I was reading a while, back, many of the charges, and the fact that it’s mostly Republicans that are pursuing him, seems like he might not be as clean and virtuous as people would think. I am really waiting to hear more about this.

Paxton’s UNFORGIVABLE SIN was the case where Texas claimed (rightfully so) that states violated the US Constitution in 2020 by changing voting procedures without legislative approval (such as universal mail-in ballots).

Even liberals agreed Paxton was right, but our wonderful Supreme Court claimed that Texas had ‘no standing’ and so we got the Ukraine War instead.

>> Has it got something to do with [defeating George P Bush], maybe?

Yes, that and so much more...

He came up against the execrable Dade Phelan, speaker of the Texas House and a nasty RINO puke. Worked to have him removed for public drunkenness during session.

Paxton is a true conservative. Way too many of the supposed “conservatives” in the House majority are squishy self-serving RINOs.

As with Trump, Paxton’s trial in the Senate will find him not guilty — unless they simply vote to dismiss the charges prior to trial.

Steve Bannon’s Warroom had a recent podcast on this. It’s the Texas Uni-party that wants him gone.

The RINOs are after Paxton because Paxton files at least one lawsuit against the pedophile “white house” every day and he wins most of them. It makes the RINOs sad.

My guess?

They are afraid that Paxton may run for governor when Abbott term-limits out.

They want to politically assassinate him before that happens.

The RINOs in the Texas legislature teamed with the Democrats in the Texas legislature to impeach Paxton, because he is a very effective Conservative.

The RINOs hate him because he does a good job, and they feel threatened by him.

The Democrats hate him because he does a good job and is not woke. He does not accept the Democrat playbook.

This is another lawfare hit against an effective Republican.

The “prior election doctrine,” which they argue makes it’s illegal for an official to be removed for acts committed before their most recent election.

Who made “prior election doctrine??

Baby Bush defeated himself big time when he, an outsider, messed with the DRT and the Alamo...

Paxton made a 3 hour video

It explained his investigation into the voting machines to certify them as secure for Texas elections.

That video even had pages from the manufactors that showed the wireless connections at dozens of points in the voting machine systems.

Dozens of points that the data was insecure and could be altered.

Due to this close look at the machines Texas refused to certify dominion and smartmatic for use on Texas.

This allowed for at least one election cycle where Texans were able to vote in honest folk.

He stole their ability to cheat the vote.

THAT is why ‘ they’ are after him.

They had to tie his hands , and get rid of him, to get their cheat machines back so they could stop the bleeding out of the crooks they were not able to cheat into office.

They have to get one of theirs into the AG spot so they can get their cheat machines recertified to use in elections again.

They can’t win if they can’t cheat

now that it’s obvious to everyone they are communists out to destroy our Republic

They can’t survive one more honest secure election cycle.

I’ve always maintained that it takes at least 2 honest cheat free elections to get these clowns and Trojan horses out of office.

Texas has had 1, they need one more now that they have flushed the RINO commies out of the bushes ( pun fully intended) to vote the rest of the scum out of office.

That is why they are after Ken imho.

Paxton is a huge Trump supporter and has filed suit against Biden regime more than any other AG.

Impeachment and removal is not a trial. It is not a court. Impeachment and deciding removal is a purely political exercise to decide if the person in question should remain employed and in office. It is just like a company CEO getting with HR to determine whether to terminate a corporate officer. The corporate officer may or may not be under legal investigation, may or may not ever be charged and that is a completely separate issue performed by a completely different process. Same with impeachment.

With Paxon, it is a political hit job. The GOPe wants to fire him even though he was just re-elected. Whether he did or did not commit some legal offense is not the issue and will never be determined by a legislature body. This is purely to decide if he remains employed.

Wow! An entire thread speculating on the reason for Paxton’s impeachment and not a single reference to Nate Paul. WTG!
