*I stand corrected
the original headline had not impeached….
He was charged/impeached….
He was NOT convicted of the charges……
Anyone Surprised on this ?
We’re talking about Texas
A jury of state senators voted to acquit Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) on all of the 16 articles of impeachment he faced in his historic trial.
None of the articles of impeachment received the 21 votes needed to convict Paxton, meaning the Lone Star State’s top law enforcement officer — who had been suspended from his post since the House impeached him in May — will be reinstated to office….
…
When the Republican-majority House impeached Paxton in May, the vote was 121-31 to impeach.
Ken Paxton’s Legal Troubles Aren’t Over
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, acquitted in his impeachment trial, “still faces serious risk on three fronts: an ongoing a federal investigation into the same allegations that led to his impeachment; a disciplinary proceeding over his effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election; and felony securities fraud charges dating to 2015,” the AP reports.
So, Ken Paxton was (in contradiction to your headline) impeached; but he wasn’t convicted.
Presidents Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were all impeached, but none of them was convicted.
Ok
O have to correct the headline!
Thanks DSD…….
Correction made…
Damn!
Ok I finally have the piece about right….
Sorry……
I’m shocked that a cabal of radical Right Wing extremists acquitted another radical Right Wing extremist!
And are pissed that he was even charged!
