Austin’s CBS News affiliate reports:
The Texas House of Representatives voted to adopt 20 articles of impeachment against the attorney general over Memorial Day weekend. Those articles included charges of constitutional bribery, disregard of official duty and misapplication of public resources. Paxton’s relationship with real estate developer and campaign donor Nate Paul were at the heart of the allegations made against him.
House impeachment managers accused him of using the power of the Office of the Texas Attorney General to benefit Paul. In exchange, the House alleged, Paul helped Paxton cover up and accommodate an affair, and helped pay for renovations to Paxton’s Austin home. Paxton also remains under federal investigation and faces a long-delayed securities fraud trial. His next hearing in that case is Oct. 6.
Read the full article. Prominent cultists spent the last week posting the phone numbers of Republican state senators, urging their followers to deluge the senators with threats. Those same cultists are now celebrating on Twitter.

Ken Paxton acquitted on all charges. Becoming difficult to imagine a scenario in which Republican lawmakers would actually hold their own accountable for years of corruption if doing so costs them MAGA votes.

The sham acquittal of Ken Paxton by the Texas GOP is no surprise. It’s a continuation of the party over country actions of the entire MAGA Republican Party of Trump. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #WeAreBlue1

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been acquitted. Truth won out today. The Bush Regime is going down. We can’t let RINO’s ruin our state, or our country. The Bush Family seeks to divide the Republican Party. Anyone in support of Donald Trump is targeted. The Bush/Cheney…
