Bribery. Corruption. Conspiracy to commit crimes. Misuse of public office. These are just some of the grave allegations levied against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas House of Representatives’ 20 articles of impeachment delivered to the state Senate in late May. Now Lone Star State senators are scheduled to hear closing arguments in a trial to decide whether Paxton should be removed from office.
The Texas House accused Paxton — arguably the most conservative fighter in the country when it comes to resisting the Biden regime’s power grabs — of misusing his office to benefit his friend and campaign donor, Nate Paul. Lawmakers say Paxton violated his oath of office by accepting illegal gifts in the form of a renovated kitchen and engaged in conspiracy and dereliction of duty, among other things.The problem? The accusations, sexy and salacious as they may be, simply aren’t true. In no way, shape, or form did the House prove its case with tangible, clear, or convincing evidence. In fact, the defense presented evidence that shredded every article of impeachment listed.
