Case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton at state Senate trial is falling apart

"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.

The process is meant to be the punishment. Not any more. We know any of our team that you indict must be the person we should support.

The democrat party and all its voters are the enemy, folks.

I would hate that for Texas, unless Dan Patrick got to appoint the successor.

I’m a Floridian and I don’t follow Texas politics.

Understood and same here. I have just heard it was a Bush gang hit job because Paxton beat the youngest Bush (Petunia Bush???) in the AG primary..

Sure Jeff Sessions is still kicking./S

If Ken Paxton can be A.G. of Texas then he can sure as heck be A.G. for Trump and fight to get him confirmed.

If this case falls apart it is time to take the gloves off and go RINO hunting.

Paxton would make an excellent AG. I’ve heard he has his eyes on the Governor’s mansion in Texas though.

Ken Paxton wouldn’t get more than 10 Republicans to vote for his confirmation in the U.S. Senate.

I watched a couple of long clips.

Tony “Buzzsaw” Buzbee sliced and diced a Bushite on the Stand.

I hope the headline is right, and the case is falling apart. But TX is RINO country.

This is a G. Petunia Bush tantrum show trial. He/She learned this tactic from 0bummer, Hitlery, and Bi-Dung.

Yes, and GPB did much worse than expected for a popular TX RINO.

Gohmert was a lot like DeSantis: foolish decisions leads to heavy losses.
