Ken Paxton’s historic impeachment trial is finally over and amazingly — he’s leaving unscathed with no accountability for his corrupt actions and behavior.
Let’s be clear: Ken Paxton abused the power of the Texas Attorney General’s office.
Corruption is truly permeating our state-level government here in Texas — Ken Paxton is just one more example of why we need to do everything we can to root it out: It has consequences for hard-working families.
Ken Paxton has committed multiple corrupt acts, and now he must face the reality that nobody is above the law.
But it’s more than just Paxton — corruption in Texas is systemic: It’s a pro-Paxton PAC giving Dan Patrick, lieutenant governor and the presiding judge over his trial, $3 million dollars. It’s Greg Abbot’s silence about the state’s Attorney General’s crimes.
Texas politicians like Paxton are abusing their authority to serve their own political agendas rather than serve the people of Texas, and I’ve seen enough.
