Legal woes aren’t the problem

The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, is in big trouble. He faces the possibility of being impeached. The House will be voting today on it. The headline in the Times notes that as a staunch conservative, he's counting on his fellow conservatives support to survive his legal woes.

In 2020, several senior staff members in the Attorney General's office accused Ken Paxton of bribery, corruption, and abuse of office. Several years before that, he was indicted on charges of securities fraud. 

 

Hello NY Times!! Bribery and securities fraud? I'm not a lawyer, but aren't bribery and securities fraud illegal? It's not his 'legal woes' that should be of concern to Ken Paxton. It's his 'ILLEGAL' ones!!
