Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick forewarned us 'Not a criminal trial, Not a civil trial, this is a political trial'
"We are proud of the case we put on we should not have had to prove our innocence, but that's what we did.""This is a trial that shouldn't have happened. Period full stop."Houston's attorneys Buzbee and Cogdell achieved a sweeping acquittal for AG Ken Paxton in a Senate trial denounced as political, with Republicans voting not guilty, falling short of the needed 21 votes.
Afterward - in a speech clearly written before the outcome was publicly known, Patrick tongue lashed the Texas House. I will call for a full audit of all taxpayer money spent by the house from the beginning of their investigation in March to today.Abuse of office, retaliation, obstruction of a federal investigation, and bribery....with their vote, the GOP senate majority said it just didn't happen.
Ann Johnson, a House prosecutor, accuses the Texas Senate of allowing the allegedly corrupt Ken Paxton to stay in office, questioning whether the rushed impeachment process in late May ultimately impacted the outcome.
