"I think they decided they thought I was going to lose my election to Bush, and they became very disturbed when I won," he says.
"And they concocted this plan, I think months and months ago, maybe right after my reelection, thinking that the voters just were not smart enough to figure this out. They’re going to fix it."
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) argued establishment Republicans are moving forward with an “illegal impeachment” against him for exposing their corruption.
Paxton joined Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Newsmax Friday to break down how the Texas RINOs (Republican in Name Only) have been investigating him in secret for months before introducing 20 articles of impeachment against him.
The showdown boiled over after Paxton called on Texas Speaker Dade Phelan to resign for alleged drunkenness during a House session last week.
“When you expose what these liberal Republicans do, which is basically cut deals with liberal Democrats, they get really angry that the last thing they want is somebody around like me who exposes what they do. And I’ve done that with Phelan,” Paxton said, adding him and other Republicans have kowtowed to the liberal agenda.
“They tried to sneak through legislation two years ago where they were reducing the penalty for illegal voting, where I would now have to prove that they knew the law when they did it, which meant no prosecutions. We caught him, we exposed it. Those are the types of things that Phelan finds infuriating. And unfortunately for him, we caught him and we exposed it, despite the fact that he’s a Republican.”

I don’t really know the details on what they claim Paxton did. But I can believe what he is saying here. Most republicans are just as dirty as any democrat. Time has taught me that.
“Many of the articles of impeachment focused on allegations that Paxton had repeatedly abused his powers of office to help a political donor and friend, Austin real estate developer Nate Paul.”

“In return, the whistleblower lawsuit alleged, Paul paid for all or part of a major renovation of a home Paxton owns in Austin. Paul also helped Paxton keep an extramarital affair quiet by employing the woman Paxton had been seeing, the lawsuit said, adding that the attorney general may also have been motivated by a $25,000 contribution Paul made to Paxton’s campaign in 2018.”
“Most republicans are just as dirty as any democrat. Time has taught me that.”
Which would mean that Paxton is most likely dirty.

I smell the Bushes behind this.
He may be corrupt (or not), but you are either just as dishonest are incredibly gullible if you believe that is why he is being persecuted.
Every last one of the rest are doing just as bad and probably far worse.
They never prosecute corruption. They always persecute those who wonder off the plantation.
Texas seems to be irrevocably lost to the blue side...
I don’t really know anything about the guy. I see all these articles and none of them really mention anything about what the guy has done... Good or bad. About the only thing I heard was that he was accused of coming to work drunk.
The difference is that we usually hold our guys Ccountable while the Democrats do not do that. Al Franken was a rare exception. I guess he was really a creep and the Democrats didn't really like him so they got rid of him when they could.

Managed to watch some of the Tx Leg debate on this a few hours ago. Don’t know the outcome yet but to me seems like the same “Trumped Impeachment Charges” from a few years ago. Somebody does not like this guy, I wonder why.
Dunno but politicians on all sides are quick to trot out the lines “I was framed. It’s a conspiracy. Everyone is to out to get me”. So who knows anymore.
I will wait to see what evidence they have.
“I never do nothing wrong, man, but everytime I get the blame.”
“About the only thing I heard was that he was accused of coming to work drunk.”
No, he accused the Speaker of being drunk
“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the House Speaker was “in a state of apparent debilitating intoxication” on the House floor on Friday night. Paxton called for Phelan to resign at the end of the legislative session.”
In the event of an invasion, And if the fed gov does nothing, every state has the right to put military on their border for protection.
I have family in El Paso and it’s not safe in that town.. they have been more than invaded.. it isnt safe to leave the house.
I have waited for TX to guard the border.. it’s open for any and all. Tx is busing them north..
Why not close the #%&^ border?!
