Ken Paxton's impeachment case involves an alleged affair. His wife may vote on his political fate
Houston Chronicle ^ | 05-29-2023 | Taylor Goldenstein

Posted on 05/29/2023 9:20:58 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is accused of impeachable offenses including bribery tied to helping a woman with whom he allegedly had an affair get a job through Austin real estate investor Nate Paul.

His wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, may soon decide whether he deserves to be removed from office for that and other alleged violations of law and the public trust, which were released Thursday night by a Texas House committee.

The senator’s chief of staff did not respond to a request for comment about whether she would recuse herself.

“The first option would be for her to recuse herself,” said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University. “The second would be for the Senate to make that judgment on whether they believe going forward with a sitting senator being a spouse of a person on trial is a look you would like to have.”

Neither Paxton nor his wife has commented about allegations of the affair, which first surfaced in a lawsuit filed against him by whistleblowers who were his top deputies before they complained to law enforcement about Paxton's conduct.

What do ya think Mrs. Paxton will do?

1. Vote to confirm impeachment on that two timing SOB?

2. Vote in favor of her dear loving innocent husband?

3. Recuse/abstain?

Is being impeached for having an affair? Have the Republicans become the morality Taliban?

What’s that old saying, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Maybe she has the goods on Paxon if he is truly guilty.

You might as well impeach the rest of them.

A lot of black pots in the Texas House.

Texas Rejected Use of Dominion Voting System Software Due to Efficiency Issues

Evaluations show Texas officials had concerns about Dominion Voting Systems product’s efficiency and reliability when

they rejected their use in January of this year.

I watched paxtons 3 hour vid detailing the dangers of dominion.

Diagrams and illustrations from dominions own manuals were an eye opener.

He handed them their as$.

This is about
Dominion
Pfizer
and

Globalist Uniparty Traitor Coupists

and their fear and hatred of Paxton.

Spit.

Good summation.

He has been doing wonderful things as AG.

He is an obvious choice as a candidate for Governor.

I suspect his rivals see this as a chance to take him out.

I believe there are likely few legitimate issues, among the allegations.

We’ve seen similar laundry lists with other Republicans who fought the GOP-E / Dems.

Sen. Paxton will be objective in her support of her husband and vote against the baseless impeachment of the attorney general.

“He is an obvious choice as a candidate for Governor.”

In January of 2025, Ken Paxton will be named the United States Attorney General.

Compare this article to the way they defended Bill Clinton, who engaged in far more impeachable offenses.

The Houston Chronicle (and its self loathing JINO’s) can go to hell.

No one knows what the Paxton thing is about. Now they’re talking about an affair. What is this? Violet to George Bailey. Quit falling for this crap. Just stop

Here’s how evil works. It spreads. It grows. It multiplies it sets out to destroy anything good. Anyone making any attempt to get the Oy try on a good track after the “enemy” was so enjoying a fruitful reign with birth control using the front of abortion

Here’s another way

It accuses. The name of the enemy translates as the accuser

Conservatives largely don’t understand the nature of evil. They enable it by running around trying fruitlessly to be perfect to be like the only perfect person who wasn’t even a person totally but divine and even He was attacked by the enemy

It accuses people in their imperfections pretending for all gullible onlookers that the imperfections are the issue.

They are not especially in this case

Paxton is the best. He is like having Kari Lake here. Abbott works the system. He allows border crossing and election cheating and trans.

Paxton does not. So the destroyer has to move in

The impeachment of paxton is corruption at the highest levels Texas GOP.

ITS illegal to impeach pre term behavior but house did this instead of passing conservatives legislation.

Stop. Clinton is bad and so is tge news media. They’re on the same side. This Houston paper doesn’t give a crap about Paxtons behavior in his home. Which is probably truthfully impeccable but that’s not the issue

The left (and GOPe) do this same thing so often to politicians who try to take down the deep state. And, many conservatives fall for it each and every time. They say “Well, he must be guilty of something!” and abandon the person only to later find out the accusations weren’t true. This is what they have tried to do to Trump so many times. And the left can’t understand why his supporters still stand behind him.

Lots of politicians have alleged affairs.

Is that impeachable?
