AG Ken Paxton's impeachment trial: Quest for greater power
With Ken Paxton's impeachment acquittal and his close ties to Trump, it seems he might be eyeing higher political positions, potentially posing a challenge to figures like Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick.
Houston - "Release the Kraken!" - a movie line I find appropriate when it comes to the likely political fallout of this impeachment acquittal.
Ken Paxton, already a highly favored son of the GOP "hard right", is now completely exonerated of what he's already referring to as "sham" charges from so-called "RINOs" and their allies the "evil democrats."
One would guess that Paxton, who touts his close ties to Donald Trump and has promoted his upcoming interview with Tucker Carlson, may well have set his sights on "bigger" jobs with more power...a pursuit that would draw plenty of support from the "usual suspects."
Should Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick watch their backs?
