CNN —
The Texas House of Representatives has voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, an unprecedented move following a legislative probe that faulted the third-term Republican for a yearslong pattern of corruption, including abusing his office’s powers, retaliating against whistleblowers and obstructing justice.
Under state law, Paxton is now temporarily suspended from his duties as attorney general and will await a Senate trial.
The vote was 121-23, with two members voting “present.”
“The evidence is substantial. It is alarming and unnerving,” said GOP Rep. Andrew Murr, chair of the General Investigating Committee, during his closing statement following hours of debate. The committee recommended 20 counts of impeachment against Paxton.
Democrat Rep. Harold Dutton was one of the members voting present. He said the impeachment vote had been rushed. “The process by which we’re getting this done seems to be abbreviated to the point that it just encroaches on due process,” said Dutton.
Paxton denied wrongdoing in a Friday news conference, but focused his statements against the impeachment this week on his record as a key opponent of President Joe Biden. Paxton’s office has filed dozens of lawsuits against the Biden administration.
The now-suspended attorney general called the impeachment a “politically motivated sham” in a statement just minutes after the vote.
“The ugly spectacle in the Texas House today confirmed the outrageous impeachment plot against me was never meant to be fair or just,” he said.
Paxton said he was never given a chance to present evidence refuting the findings of an investigation that he abused his office. He has cast House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican who presides over a chamber where his party currently holds 85 seats to Democrats’ 64, as a “liberal.” He continued his attack on Phelan saying, “Phelan’s coalition of Democrats and liberal Republicans is now in lockstep with the Biden Administration, the abortion industry, anti-gun zealots, and woke corporations.”

Tuesday, state senators removed South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg from office after he struck and killed pedestrian Joe Boever while driving.
After the accident in Sept. 2020, questions arose about Ravnsborg's conduct including a statement that he didn't immediately know he hit a person rather than a deer. A police investigation showed that Boever was walking on the shoulder of a highway when Ravnsborg struck him.
Throughout police interrogations, Ravnsborg maintained he did not know what he hit until Boever's body was found the next morning. But investigators told Ravnsborg that Boever's face went through his windshield. Boever's glasses were found inside Ravnsborg's car.
"Again, why would a man be walking down the road?" Ravnsborg asked North Dakota investigators in Sept. 2020. "I believe I'm on the road and — wham. My life changes."
A crash reconstruction found that Ravnsborg had all four tires on the shoulder of the road when he struck Boever.
Investigators told Ravnsborg that Boever's body ended up lying only a couple of feet from the edge of the road. A flashlight Boever carried was still on, even when investigators found it later, they said. Ravnsborg repeated many times that he never saw the body that night.
Ravnsborg also denied being distracted by his smartphone. But the investigators showed him data indicating he was on his phone looking at news articles and blog posts until about a minute before the crash.
"So, when we look at that, our concern is everything that we're seeing here is appearing that you were on your phone reading political stuff at the time," one investigator said in an interrogation.
"But I just wasn't," Ravnsborg replied. "I set it down."
Two days after the crash, Ravnsborg held an impromptu meeting with the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation and a digital forensics expert about what kind of information can be recovered from cell phones.
That expert, Brent Gromer, who has since retired from the South Dakota DCI, says he was uncomfortable with the meeting.
"We were not supposed to be involved. We conflicted out of this investigation and contacted North Dakota to do the investigation. We were not supposed to have anything to do with it."
After the meeting, Gromer took notes on the meeting and passed them along to his supervisors. That meeting informed part of the basis for the second article of impeachment for malfeasance in office.
Ravnsborg was charged with three misdemeanors for the crash. He pleaded no-contest to two of those in a criminal case stemming from the accident.
IMPEACHED AND REMOVED
Attorney General Ravnsborg is the first statewide official to be impeached, removed from office and barred from holding a future office in the state.
The votes came at the end of the first day of Ravnsborg's impeachment trial at the Capitol in Pierre. Ravnsborg attended the proceedings but chose not to testify before the Senate.
The state House of Representatives impeached Ravnsborg earlier this year with two separate articles, leading into the Senate trial. The Republican-controlled state Senate voted 24-9 in favor of the first article of impeachment, relating to crimes that led to the death of Joe Boever. Senators voted 31-2 in favor of the second article, which was for malfeasance in office.
Republican Sen. Tim Johns voted against both articles of impeachment. He said the results do not set a good precedent.
"I think if you don't like the job they do, you vote them out," Johns said. "You don't use impeachment. I think that's supposed to be held for very egregious events. None of these — yeah, a man died. That's the tragedy. That's not a good enough reason to impeach."
Ravnsborg declined to comment to the press on Tuesday.
JOE BOEVER'S FAMILY
Jenny Boever, Joe Boever's widow, also didn't comment.
Victor Nemec is a cousin to Joe Boever. He said he's pleased with the outcome and glad it's over.
"With me, there's not really any closure because my cousin is still gone," Nemec said. "But glad it swung our way and kind of gives me a little bit of hope for our state."
Pennington County State's Attorney Mark Vargo was the lead prosecutor in the impeachment case for Ravnsborg's removal from office.
Vargo hopes the Senate vote means politicians can no longer use their position to get favor from law enforcement.
"I hope that it means some of the 'do-you-know-who-I-am?' 'I'm the attorney general,' using your position will be chilled," Vargo said. "My first boss made it very clear that if you were ever pulled over and if the law enforcement officer saw your badge, you were fired. It was just a given."
Republican Sen. Jim Bolin voted in favor of removal and disqualification. He hopes the Senate vote means no one is above the law.
"I think that more than anything else it means that we have a very high standard for elected officials and that everyone is subject to the same rules," Bolin said.
Gov. Kristi Noem gets to appoint a replacement attorney general to serve until January. The Republican Party is holding its convention this weekend, where it will choose a new nominee for the November election.

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached by House Republicans for his “mishandling” of the border. As migrant encounters keep rising, tensions between political parties are growing.

Donald Trump: A Legacy of Controversy and Its Potential Impact on Society
Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has left an indelible mark on the nation and the world. His tenure, marked by controversy and legal battles, has had a profound impact on the political landscape. This essay will explore the potential long-term effects of Trump's actions, particularly in the context of his recent legal battles and the societal polarization they have engendered.
The Capitol Attack and Its Aftermath
On January 6, 2021, a violent insurrection took place at the U.S. Capitol, fueled by Trump's repeated and unfounded claims of election fraud1. This event, an unprecedented assault on democracy, has had a profound impact on the nation's political climate. The Capitol attack has led to an erosion of trust in democratic institutions and processes, and has normalized political violence as a means of expressing dissent1. This could potentially lead to an increase in such incidents in the future, further destabilizing the political landscape.
Legal Battles and Indictments
Trump's post-presidential period has been marked by a series of legal battles and investigations. Federal prosecutors are investigating his attempts to subvert the results of the 2020 election, including his role in the Capitol insurrection1. A New York grand jury has indicted him on charges related to hush money payments he made in 20162. These investigations, if they result in convictions, could further tarnish Trump's legacy and potentially lead to legal consequences2.
The E. Jean Carroll Case
One of the most notable legal battles Trump is currently facing is the case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. Carroll accused Trump of sexually abusing and defaming her3. A federal judge has rejected Trump's request for a new trial in this case, after a jury found him liable3. This case, and its outcome, could have significant implications for Trump's reputation and legal standing.
The Potential Impact on Society
The potential long-term effects of Trump's actions are difficult to predict with certainty, but they could include a further polarization of American politics, a decrease in public trust in democratic institutions, and a normalization of misinformation and false narratives as political tools. These effects could have serious implications for the functioning of democracy in the United States for years, or even decades, to come.
The global impact of Trump's actions could also be significant. His rhetoric and actions have had a profound influence on political discourse worldwide, with many right-wing populist leaders adopting similar tactics. This could potentially lead to a global rise in political polarization and a decline in democratic norms.
In conclusion, while the full impact of Trump's actions remains to be seen, it is clear that his legacy will continue to shape the political landscape for years to come. It is crucial for society to critically examine these events and their implications in order to mitigate their potential negative effects and to strengthen democratic institutions.
