Will The Senate Vote To Convict Ken Paxton?

[Shell_Seas]

Dan Patrick said deliberations could begin as soon as Thursday. A conviction will only take nine Republicans to reject corruption.

We’re now in week two of the Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial. There has been an awful lot of rinse and repeat thus far. It’s pretty much gone like this:

A witness is called.

The prosecutor establishes how Conservative the witness is (all of the witnesses have been so far-right that they likely each carry their own personal copy of Mein Kampf in their front pockets).

The prosecutor reviews Ken Paxton’s shady dealings while each witness discusses what they witnessed and why they went to the FBI. (All of the witnesses have been the FBI whistle-blowers.)

Ken Paxton’s side then cross-examines each witness, trying to discredit them and blame the Bush dynasty for Paxton’s impeachment.

Then, the Tim Dunn sycophants cleverly cut 30-second clips here and there and post them to social media out of context to “show” Paxton’s innocence. Of course, the Dunn crew’s position has dramatically evolved over this last week.

They started with, “Ken Paxton didn’t do this,” and quickly moved to, “Ken Paxton didn’t do anything wrong.” By the end of last week, they were at, “There’s no smoking gun that Ken Paxton did anything wrong.” And as of today, they are saying, “Ken Paxton was righteously taking on the feds.”

3. Well, Ken did screw over another GOP state official with the securities fraud case

so there might be enough vindictive senators that will remember what he did.

4. Oh lordy, he's blaming the "Bush dynasty"?

George P. is about the only branch left of that dynasty and that branch is looking pretty wilted.
