How Ken Paxton Went From Teflon Ken To Being Impeached By His Own Party

 

To some men, a securities fraud indictment would be a reason to depart public service and to exit public life. 

 

But the now-impeached Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton (R), is built differently — made of material that, until this week, has allowed him to allegedly take actions and endure a series of scandals that would have made most wither. 

 

After his 2015 indictment, Paxton stayed in office, delaying the trial and allegedly continuing to commit crimes, which then led to a whistleblower lawsuit. To settle that case and avoid an embarrassing trial, Paxton asked the Texas legislature to fund a $3.3 million settlement between himself and a set of whistleblowers who had once worked in his office and alleged they had been retaliated against. 

Instead of approving the payout, state House Republicans with the legislature’s General Investigating Committee probed the allegations. That set the ball rolling on a series of events that led to yesterday’s overwhelming vote by the state House to impeach him over allegations of bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust. Whether he is permanently removed will be determined by a trial in the state Senate. 

 

Paxton had fought back hard, going on conservative talk radio to deride Texas House speaker Dade Phelan (R) as a “liberal” and demanding his resignation while accusing him of being “intoxicated” while presiding over a legislative session. 

 

But a detailed look at the allegations underlying Paxton’s fall suggests that he acted with a level of impunity stunning even by modern standards. 
 

Among other things, Paxton allegedly fired four employees after they reported “acts of criminal bribery, tampering with government records, harassment, obstruction of justice, and abuse of office” to the FBI. 

 

At the center of the allegations are Paxton’s relationship with Nate Paul, an Austin real estate investor and contributor to Paxton’s political campaigns who fell on hard financial times. 

 

“The most senior members of the OAG believed in good faith that Paxton was breaking the law and abusing his office to benefit himself as well as his close friend and campaign donor, Austin businessman Nate Paul, and likely the woman with whom, according to media reports, Paxton has carried on a lengthy extramarital affair,” the whistleblowers’ lawsuit, filed in November 2020, reads.

Still can't figure out why the Code of "No Republican Is Ever Guilty" that protected Trump, and so many others, doesn't apply to this guy.  

 

No, you'll never convince me that any Republican actually has any morals.  That can't be it.  

 

There's a political calculus involved here.  Just don't know what it is.
