NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) — Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial hasn’t started yet, but there is already political fallout. Not just for the attorney general, but for other Republican leaders and lawmakers as well.
When House members first heard details of the 20 articles of impeachment against Attorney General Paxton, Republican Texas Rep. Charlie Geren of Fort Worth dropped a bombshell:
“I would like to point out that several members of this House while on the floor of the House doing state business, received telephone calls from General Paxton personally threatening them with political consequences in their next election.”
If that’s all the relevant information that they have I’d prefer that they keep the article short rather than bloat it out with a bunch of repetition and speculation.
what a heel, the Attorney General was calling members of the House - on the House floor - threatening them with political repercussions, while they were deliberating legislation that impacted him personally
This is the article?
The whole article?

I guess I agree with that principle. I’m perhaps unfairly imagining giving more context in the article would have been a better “product”.

Maybe they should impeach him on corruption charges… Oh wait.
