Impeachment of Ken Paxton

[Mr. Deez]

I didn't know this case was still going. After winning impeachment fight, Paxton still faces felony fraud case and an FBI investigation

They quoted the fuckin' lawyer for Christine Blasey Ford and Andrew McCabe! Yeah, there's a fair and unbiased analyst. LOL!

Of course I can't provide you with proof. I didn't handle the case, so I don't have documents or access to testimony. I base it on the outcome of the case and what I hear from people I've known for 15 - 25 years who are or have been close to him. I've never spoken to Paxton himself about any of it. I've talked to him a few times over the years, but it was always about legislation and only for brief periods (maybe 20 minutes at a time). He's kind of a weird guy and not very chatty.

Wouldn't bug me if Phelan's career was over. He is a mediocre speaker and not particularly conservative - like Joe Straus was. I also know Texans for Lawsuit Reform was a pretty big advocate for impeaching Paxton (especially behind the scenes). Other than perhaps the beer distributor lobby, there's probably no special interst group I despise more. To me, they're on a level with the public school lobby.

Maybe proof was too strong of a word. At least some good evidence, perhaps? I don't know your friends so that doesn't do me any good.

Everything that is coming out reveals the "impeachment" was political
and has hurt ordinary Texans.

And I understand that. I can't produce documents from a lawsuit I didn't handle and don't expect anyone to assume my people are right. I've known them for decades now, but you all don't know them from Adam. In both directions, people are going to form their beliefs on this as they do on most things - according to their political priors.

That will be the end of Paxton. He just doesn't get it.

It will be the end. I just hope the end comes by him losing the primary rather than by us throwing another Senate seat at the Democrats.

If I was Colin Allred, I'd drop out in '24 and wait for this **** show to materialize. If Beta couldn't beat Cruz in '18, I don't think Allred will beat him in '24 even if he puts up a decent challenge. But could he beat Paxton in '26? Very good chance.
