“I took my responsibility as a member of the Court of Impeachment very seriously. I believe in law and order, and no one individual is above the law, regardless of how powerful or minimal the elected office may be perceived. The House Managers presented a compelling case beyond a reasonable doubt, showing Attorney General Ken Paxton misused his official power on behalf of Nate Paul.
It was clear that multiple divisions of the Attorney General’s Office were pressured to take action and make decisions to benefit Mr. Paul’s businesses and his litigation. The defense would have us believe General Paxton’s actions were not related to the subsequent acts by Mr. Paul, but as was said often during the trial, ‘There are no coincidences in Austin.’ As a result, I voted to impeach General Paxton.”
