The impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate is set to get underway Tuesday morning in Austin and with less than 48 hours to go, Paxton’s future for many is still undecided.
What is for certain, his impeachment trial will be massive, “In Texas political cases, this is the Super Bowl,” said Santosh Aravind, a former federal prosecutor out of the Southern District of New York and now an Austin-based criminal defense attorney specializing in white collar cases.
“It was the Republican vote that made it such a dramatic event, because these are his own party people voting and they voted overwhelmingly,” said Ed Emmett, KPRC 2′s Political Analyst and a former legislator in the Texas House of Representatives. The bottom line for the House committee investigating Paxton, he used the power of the Attorney General’s office to his advantage and with that abused the public trust of Texans.
