Dear loudmouth2,

.

Yes, it’s a pity the Senate did not put the skids under “Donald the dictator” when they had the opportunity back in February this year instead of acquitting him after he was impeached by the House of Representatives for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

He’s done a lot of damage since then and will probably do a lot more in the weeks, months and years to come.

The initiative of this latest botched effort to overturn the result of the popular vote, the one “Donald the dictator” called “the big one”, was instigated by Ken Paxton, the sulphurous Republican Attorney General of the State of Texas.

Paxton himself is currently under FBI scrutiny for criminal charges which is probably what motivated him to gain “Donald the dictator’s” gratitude : the hope of obtaining a preemptive presidential pardon and judicial immunity for himself in return for actively promoting "Donald the dictator's" cause in the US Supreme Court.

According to The Associated Press :

« Paxton has spent most of his six years in office under felony indictment alleging he defrauded investors in a high-tech startup before becoming Texas’ top law enforcement officer in 2015. The criminal charges — which carry a potential sentence of 5 to 99 years in prison — threatened to sink Paxton’s political career just as it was taking off, but the case has stalled in court, partly because of legal challenges by his conservative allies.

« The latest accusations — levelled by his own senior staff — could spell more legal trouble.

« Seven of his former top aides signed a letter in October saying they reported their boss to law enforcement over potential crimes including abuse of office and bribery. The allegations centre around his relationship with a donor who gave him $25,000 in 2018 and wanted Paxton to investigate claims that the FBI and a federal judge broke the law over a search of his home.

« Each of Paxton’s accusers has resigned, been put on leave or been fired since reporting him. » :
