Friend,
The second day of the Impeachment Trial of Ken Paxton was chock full of intrigue, revelations of problematic behavior by Paxton, and disagreements on procedure and evidence. It was missing one key figure though: Ken Paxton. Add your name to our petition demanding Paxton testify. [[link removed]]
It’s clear by his absence from his own trial that Paxton thinks he’s above the law. More than that, his refusal to participate is disrespectful to the Texans that expect and demand answers and accountability from Texas’ chief law enforcement officer.
In case you weren’t able to watch, here are some topline highlights from Day 2:
It was clear to staff and leadership within the OAG that Paxton’s relationship to Nate Paul was “alarming” and inappropriate, so much so that they worried Paxton was actively being blackmailed.
Violating the gag order set by the Senate jurors and pulling a page out of Trump’s playbook, Paxton sent out a campaign fundraising email [[link removed]] comparing himself to fallen Alamo defender Davy Crockett. In it, he wrote "With your help, I can be back in office by the end of the month."
Revelations of illegal and troubling behavior by Paxton became so damning that Paxton’s attorney Tony Buzbee accused a key witness of “staging a coup” against Paxton.
Paxton was nowhere to be found during today’s proceedings. Where was he?
Friend , n o one in Texas politics ignores the rule of law more than our indicted and suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton. It’s clear he doesn’t give a damn about the laws of Texas, and has never been held accountable for anything in his entire life. If Paxton cared about Texas and cared about the rule of law -- he would stand trial and testify in court. Will you add your name now to our petition, calling on Paxton to take accountability and testify in court? [[link removed]]

The only thing Paxton cares about at this moment is campaign fundraising and lining the pockets of his Republican elite donors. It’s time he faces accountability for the chaos and corruption he has created in the Office of Attorney General.
Adelante,
