Paxton will immediately and temporarily be suspended from his duties pending a trial in the state Senate. Rep. David Spiller, a Republican who serves on the House General Investigating Committee, told members that, even though he thinks Paxton has a "brilliant legal mind," he still violated the law.

Popular Post bamnutsak Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 republicans eating their own. More satisfying than I'd imagined. This guy entered office in 2014 with a string of alleged felonies trailing him. Now nine years later some tepid reaction. Where is the DoJ's PIN (Public Integrity Section) and the FBI? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 He defeated a Bush (er, a Bush family member ???? ) not long ago. I have to wonder if this is a takedown attempt by unseen entities in Texas/GOP politics. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/05/24/texas-attorney-general-runoff-results-ken-paxton-george-p-bush/ As cowed as the invertebrates of the GOP might be these days, be sure there are members looking past their present tangerine nightmare (like Liz Cheney and Kinzinger) to leadership when they return to their lock-step unity. For those eager to see the MarALago guy go away, bear in mind what this new order will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
