Figuring out the PAXTON not-compute things

* He's an a-hole, wingnut, grifter, crook.

* He's got a government wife and a mistress.

* He had/hired all-wingnut/Fundie true believers & betrayed them.

* He didn't show up shamed to hear all the testimony (but his wife had to).

* His physically shapely mistress was spared the shame testimony.

* At least one of his loving/believer/friends was reduced to tears to ask for condemnation of him.

* His true believer subordinates were slimed.

*** Oh, I don't know, anything else?

All they have to do is find him guilty on one of 16 counts.

I still think it could happen but I'm a Texas Democrat. Heartbreak is my constant companion.

is bring these things to court (or in this case a legislative tribunal). Like convictions are a foregone conclusion. That so? Seems like we have trouble remembering all the allies that are bound to be sitting on these panels.
