[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IIRC he’s under both federal and state indictments.[/quote]
But he has been, for years. Why now are they discovering their ethics?[/quote]

Paxton went after the Speaker of the House. Said he was drunk while presiding over the House and should resign. That’s what triggered the impeachment.

Nah, this didn't do it. The ethics committee was already investigating. Paxton's attack on Phelan was part of his pushback against that investigation.

This guy posits that it's because this committee had to sign off on the $3.3 million settlement to whistleblowers and that could make them complicit in covering up federal crimes which are now being investigated by the FBI.

Or something even bigger is coming down the pike and the TX GOP is trying to get ahead of it.
