Ken Paxton tried to hide his affair from his wife and voters. It may be his undoing.
The impeachment trial that starts Tuesday is expected to center on Paxton’s infidelity, and could air out the sordid details of the staunch, Christian conservative’s life as he sits just yards away from his wife, and her 30 Senate colleagues.

"In September 2018, Attorney General Ken Paxton gathered his staff to make a fateful confession. With two months to go before Election Day — and holding hands with his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton — the attorney general reportedly told them about an extramarital affair. He said it was over and swore to recommit to his marriage. But Ken Paxton didn’t — the first in a series of consequential choices that Texas House impeachment managers say set off a chain of alleged crimes and coverups that, five years later, has culminated in one of the most dramatic moments in Texas political history.
House impeachment managers argue that Paxton, driven in large part by his desire to continue and conceal the tryst, went to great, impeachable — and potentially criminal — lengths to hide the betrayal from his wife, and from the deeply religious voters who have sustained his political life for two decades; impeachment managers allege that Paxton repeatedly abused his office to help real estate investor Nate Paul’s faltering businesses amid an FBI raid, looming bankruptcies and a litany of related lawsuits. In exchange, Paul allegedly hired Paxton’s girlfriend so that she could move to Austin and helped Paxton clandestinely meet with her through a secret Uber account that the two men shared."
That's it? That is all the Dems have? So what, the guy cheated on his wife, what is the big deal about that? I thought the private lives of politicians are supposed to be private? He didn't rape the broad, he didn't have sex with children, because if he did -- he would be a Democrat, maybe even president. Instead, Ken cheated on his wife like any real man has and will; that goes with being an alpha male. As far as him doing some kind of quid pro quo deal with some shady real estate tycoon; so what? At most, all it amounts to is, Ken wanted to move his side piece down to Austin so he can fuck her more conveniently - what more do you want from him? Of course he wanted to hide his affair from his wife, but this is definitely not impeachable.
Dems have made 2 very huge mistakes by forcing Republicans to impeach Ken Paxton - First, they have now gave the House GOP another reason to impeach Biden...because not only did Biden accept bribes, but he too cheated on his wife with multiple multiple children. 2nd mistake the Dems made is - they have made it clear that they wanted to remove Paxton because he was going to indict both Joe and Hunter Biden for crimes. Now this will be a call to other Republican AG's to indict the Bidens, which sources are saying, could be happening as early as Thursday.
