Ken Paxton trial

[billvon 2,426]

Disgraced Texas AG Ken Paxton is looking at impeachment at the hands of his peers, the Texas republicans in the Senate.  They voted to impeach by a vote of 121-23, which means most of the Texas republicans voted to impeach as well.   He is facing 20 charges including bribery, misuse of state funds, failing to fulfill his oath, obstruction of justice, false statements in official records, conspiracy against the state of Texas, and dereliction of duty.

He is now trying to get some Texas senators disqualified (all democrats) because they have made statements indicating that they think he is guilty and are therefore biased.  However, republicans have also filed a lawsuit to make sure that Paxton's wife (now a state senator) be allowed to vote on the impeachment, because she's . . . not biased?

Funny.

No sex-abuse charges yet, so he's not quite there.

And they honor their crooks!

In 1988 Speaker Jim Wright resigned in the midst of an ethics investigation.

To this day there is still a "Jim Wright Freeway" on the Nortwest side of Fort Worth.

Wanna bet that republicans will name buildings, monuments, parks and freeways after trump? Even after he is convicted! Even after he goes to jail!

Hell trumps solicitation of donations will expand after the prison door slams shut.
