Breaking: Texas Senate Acquits Attorney General Ken Paxton On All Articles Of Impeachment — ‘The Bush Era Is Over’

After an eight-day trial in which Texas state Senators heard from over a dozen witnesses and a whistleblower, Senators voted to acquit Attorney General Ken Paxton on all articles of impeachment, while voting to drop four additional articles, meaning Paxton can return to office, CBS News reported Saturday.

According to CBS:

During closing arguments, Paxton’s defense called the impeachment a sham by Republicans in Texas who don’t like the attorney general.”This is a political witch hunt,” Paxton lawyer Tony Buzbee said. “I would suggest to you that this trial has displayed for the country to see, a partisan fight within the Republican party … The Bush era in Texas ends today. We thought it had ended in the primary when Ken Paxton beat George P. Bush.”

But during closing arguments for their side, Rep. Jeff Leach, a Plano Republican who’s one of the House impeachment managers, pushed back on that.

“In voting to impeach General Ken Paxton, my dear friend, a political mentor, brother in Christ and a once-trusted advisor, this has been not just a hard vote,” Leach said. “This has been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do in my life.”

Breitbart posted a breakdown of the votes:

Breitbart added:

Senator Birdwell (R-Granbury) introduced a motion to dismiss Articles 11, 12, 13, and 14. The motion passed by a vote of 19 to 11.

Writing at the Gateway Pundit, Cristina Laila provided some background, which explains everything:

Texas RINOs, including Bush and Rove allies, wanted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gone so they made up some accusations against him without evidence in an attempt to impeach him.

Attorney General Ken Paxton is the one man who has stood up against the Democrat-Marxist onslaught in the great state of Texas. Democrats and Secret Sleeper Republicans hate him for this.

But it seems the witch hunt isn’t over.  CBS reported that Paxton “remains under federal investigation and faces a long-delayed securities fraud trial. His next hearing in that case is Oct. 6.”
