In a stunning turn of events, the Texas Senate has found suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton not guilty on all 16 counts of impeachment. The Senate, acting as “jurors,” deliberated and returned their verdict to determine if Paxton will be removed from office or allowed to return to his duties. The voting results were read live, and with each count, the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of Paxton’s innocence.

This verdict comes as a significant blow to Paxton’s detractors, who were hoping for a different outcome. However, it is a victory for conservatives who have supported Paxton throughout this process. They argue that this impeachment trial was nothing more than a politically motivated attack on a conservative leader.

It’s worth noting that Senator Birdwell (R-Granbury) introduced a motion to dismiss Articles 11, 12, 13, and 14, which was passed by a vote of 19 to 11. This further emphasizes the Senate’s strong support for Paxton and their belief in his innocence.
Overall, this verdict is a clear win for Paxton and his supporters. It sends a message that conservatives will not be swayed by baseless accusations and will stand by their leaders, even in the face of adversity. This outcome undoubtedly boosts Paxton’s chances of reclaiming his position as Attorney General and continuing to fight for conservative values in Texas.
