"Despite the victory, Paxton’s troubles are far from over. He faces trial on charges of securities fraud dating back to 2015.

More dangerous to Paxton is a federal investigation that began when the attorney general’s senior aides reported him to the FBI in 2020, alleging crimes that mirror the impeachment charges. That case has reached a grand jury in San Antonio. A new criminal indictment carries far higher stakes than impeachment. Campaigning to stay in office is one thing; fighting to remain out of prison is another entirely."

And as usual we have to gamble that we don't get a Trump judge. This country is a joke, but I hope the DOJ takes it all the way through the courts because this should have never happened and for this long. No normal person would still be free.
