Thanks to his wealthy donors, Paxton is now back in power and free to become the MAGA hero he aspires to be. That’s not good for Texas.
The Texas Senate voted largely along party lines, with only two Republican senators bravely voting to convict on virtually all sixteen articles of impeachment. The Texas Constitution requires a supermajority vote to convict on any article of impeachment, and the impeachment prosecutors came up short on each article.
“Judge” Patrick famously put it this way: Paxton’s impeachment trial “is not a civil trial, it’s not a criminal trial, it’s a political trial.” Clearly. Paxton’s plan back in office is to partner with his donors and punish anyone who supported his impeachment. The Texas Republican Party’s civil war, which began in earnest two cycles ago, will take on a new, more obnoxious tone. The need to pronounce oneself as fully aligned with MAGA conservative culture warrior dogma will be a prerequisite to success in Republican primary politics.
Why would Ken Paxton give this man spinning wild tales of conspiracy the time of day? Evidence elicited at trial showed that Paxton sympathized with Paul’s plight because Paxton also mistrusted law enforcement.
