When the republicans in the Senate vote to let this crook off the hook, the Texas GOP will change their name from Grand Old Party to the Gang of Pussies.
What more do they need? Witness after witness have testified that Paxton used the office to help a private citizen, Nate Paul. They are all solid. They are all republicans, except for one. Paxton’s attorney’s continue to grasp at straws looking for something to give republicans cover and an excuse to let Paxton go. It isn’t working, or it shouldn’t be working.
Day five had more senior staff members testifying about his continued interference into Nate Paul’s affairs, as well as his own affair. Margaret Moore the former Travis County District Attorney testified about Nate Paul’s wild ass conspiracy concerning judges, FBI agents, and other law enforcement who were out to get him. She and others stated there was no evidence to back his claims. Nothing. Zero. They begged his attorney to provide documents to support his claim and they refused. They called it baseless and urged Paxton to stop pursuing the issue and his mistress. He didn’t listen to him, on both issues.
Unfortunately there is a time limit on testimony. Each side only has a few hours left before the republicans vote to let him off. The attorney Paxton illegally hired should be called. His mistress should be called. Nate Paul should be called. Paul’s attorney should be called. They won’t be. If you are interested you can view every day of the trial at the Senate website. You can also peruse though the 3400 documents provided as evidence here.
Paxton will not be calling any witnesses in his defense because he has none.
