AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted Saturday of all charges at a historic impeachment trial that divided Republicans over whether to remove a powerful defender of former President Donald Trump after years of scandal and criminal charges.
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 was not allowed to vote. But she attended all two weeks of the trial, including the reading of the verdict, when all but two of her fellow 18 Republican senators consistently voted to acquit her husband on 16 impeachment articles that accused him of misconduct, bribery and corruption.

Under Prssident Gore, we would have gotten EVs 20 years ago and it will be illegal to buy gasoline for personal use today.
Bush generated or not, this circular firing squad stuff is just too incredibly self- destructive. Absolute madness to have done this
The other charges are made up crap too.
That does not mean that the DOJ/FBI cabal will not continue to lie and fabricate.
“Don’t make those negative waves”!
Murr is my State Rep.
“If we don’t keep public officials from abusing the powers of their office, then frankly no one can,” Republican state Rep. Andrew Murr, who helped lead the impeachment in the Texas House, said in his closing arguments.

I won’t forget this.
I dont understand your list.
The Texas Senate voted. Not the Texas Legislature.
Aside from 9/11, which would’ve been even more of a nightmare with Gore and the democrats in charge, and all of the other Marxist policies that would’ve been installed, leave us not forget Mr. High Priest of the Global Warming Cult would already have us mired in the quicksand of carbon credits. I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in G W Bush, but Gore would’ve been exponentially worse for the rest of America’s existence.
Absolutely, but they chose to be the public face of this and now they should live degraded in the shame and filth they associated themselves with, a great state that started with Austin, and Boone and Crockett and was almost brough to end by JP Bush.
Can you imagine Gore dealing with 9/11?
Makes me shudder just to think about it.
+++++++++++++
In all seriousness, with respect to 9/11, what exactly did Bush do that was so magnificent? In hindsight, I honestly don’t think Gore would have been so much different, and I despise Gore. Sadly, I now also despise the number two Bush as well. Number 2 is a perfect description for the chimp.
It was obviously not close. But you know the ComDems all voted to convict him, in spite of total destruction of the so called evidence.
They knew Friday how it would play out. When the defense made their final statement. All knew it was over.
The Senate voted not to convict. The Legislature voted to impeach. They are the one’s who started all this furor and need to hang for it.
Paxton is my pick for AG in the next Trump administration
he will clean up FBI and clamp down on illegals.
I want Texas Republicans to remember the treacherous members of the House.
Sorry, George P. Sucks to be you today, huh?
Wallace T listed members of the Texas House when it was the Texas Senate who voted.
If Gore was president, they wouldn’t have needed a 9/11.
This ends the influence if the Bush family in TX once and for all. Time for them to go back to the Northeast.
One thing that likely would not have happened is invading Iraq under the dilusion that this would/could “fix” the midddle east. It’s like a bunch of drunk teenagers visiting rich daddy’s stable of high end sports cars and deciding these things should be allowed to go to waste.
Gotcha.
I’m disappointed in my representative - Ellen Troxclair.
I thought she was better than this.
Those who voted only saw what was projected by the snakes running the Kangaroo Court.
There never was a single direct witness and the “Houston detectives” were NOT under oath.
The Leaders of the Legislature is responsible for all of this.
“Can you imagine Gore dealing with 9/11?”
I remember Bush attacked the wrong country.
