    Despite a pile of "R"s bringing a case against him, it’s more important NOT to have a conviction/removal from office. The PR loss of those headlines are too painful to Rs, so they wouldn’t convict. The fact that he’s guilty as fuck is less important than that PR.

      As the defense said during closing arguments: If it can happen to Ken Paxton, it can happen to any of them.

      For these chumps, it’s better to let the obviously guilty face zero repercussions so that they can be secure in the knowledge that their wrong doings won’t ever be accounted for either.

      The entire Texas Republican Party is, again in the words of the defense, a joke.
