, noted in a statement Wednesday that during the last impeachment trial, the rules banned senators from discussing the matter with anyone beyond themselves and the Senate’s presiding.
“The [Paxton] impeachment trial rules could be key,” Ross Garber, a nationally known impeachment lawyer, tweeted Thursday. “Watch, for example, to see whether they allow for discovery/depositions by Paxton or require disclosure of investigative info by the House.” The team that will present the case against Paxton appears aware how important the Senate rules could be.
“He needs to have a fair trial in the Senate but realize that in this fair trial, he gets to testify or his people get to testify on his behalf, and that is all admissible in criminal and civil cases,” Tepper told Lubbock radio host Chad Hasty. “He’s in a lot of trouble, he’s in a big mess, because I think there’s a lot there.”The Senate is rife with potential conflicts of interest in the Paxton matter, and it is unclear if any member will — or can — recuse.
A third state senator could also be caught up in the case. It has been reported that the woman Paxton had an affair with was a former Senate aide. Even the lieutenant governor has been singed by Paxton’s scandals over the years. He received a $10,000 campaign donation from Paul in the closing days of the 2018 election, three days before Paul made his well-documented $25,000 donation to Paxton.that the lieutenant governor “does not recall ever meeting and he doesn’t know him.” The adviser promised Patrick would give the money to a charity called Be an Angel.
