He's already under indictment for securities fraud.

This should have happened years ago….this guy is a low down crook.

[SSJvegito]

This should have happened a long time ago.

Paxton and Trump can share a cell in Rikers Island prison!

[wiegandmaechtlen]

He followed the path of his orange idol with his attitude and behavior! If the senate won’t take him out, they lose their credibility!!!

[smorris]

Call me crazy, but I don’t think his wife should be allowed to vote on this in the senate. There’s an obvious conflict of interest.

Kenny boy and Benedict Donald can share a cell.

[rickchandler]

I’m sure republicans will blame Joe Biden for this somehow.

[davidgregory]

Holding Trump-GOP crimes accountable is a must if US is to remain a country tied to public control of government [democracy], constitution, rule of law

[miguelpaul]

It's about time. Disbar him. Charge him. Lock him up with his friend Benedict Donald.

Does Ted Cruz do what the people of Texas want? Maybe you.need to continue your cleanup.

[hortenciabeltran]

And the wife will probably not recuse...

[TOPDadAlpha]

Lolol... You know that Paxton is a crook when republicans bring him down.

[crazycatmama]

This dude’s been a crook for years. Why now?

[hjkjccdggjhvb]

his name sounded familiar, i knew he was a trumper

[goss]

As much as I loathe American right-wing thinking, those voters should be represented by a competent party.
Currently this is not the case.
The whole GOP needs a purge of its corrupt extremists and to get back on track.

[clw]

We all know how much Republicans respect the will of the people.

[OldasMTV]

Cruz showing support because he doesn’t want snitched on 😅

[blasphemertheseventh]

If trump and cruz are paxtons’ cheerleaders, he is definitely corrupt and guilty.

No matter how large or small you maybe you will reap what you sow.
