Appearing on the far-right television network Newsmax, Paxton told U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, that "liberal Republicans" were working with Democrats to remove him from office for pushing a conservative agenda. Gaetz asked Paxton if he was confident that he had enough votes in the House to block an impeachment. Paxton said no."Liberal Republicans”? In Texas? Name 3. Please; I’m begging you.
“The corrupt politicians in the Texas House are demonstrating that blind loyalty to Speaker Dade Phelan is more important than upholding their oath of office,” Paxton said in a calm tone as he read from prepared remarks. “They are determined to ignore the law. They have denied me the opportunity to present the evidence which contradicts their politically motivated narrative.”Yeah, that’s what the trial in the Senate is for. But you settled the case by the whistleblowers, and will have to put on your defense against the securities fraud charges. Which criminal case is still pending. You’ll also have to present a defense on the civil charges, which case probably isn’t going to settle now. I think there are some new, interesting criminal charges in the 20 counts, too. I’m anxious to see your defense to those.
Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t, huh, Ken? Well, you asked for it. This is unprecedented, you say. That just assures it gets a lot of attention. Good luck with that.
