Paxton is shamelessly crooked even by Texas standards. Imagine a cross between Jabba the Hut and Robert Tilton, and you've got Ken Paxton. He's the one that filed that insane lawsuit demanding the Supreme Court invalidate four states Trump won that totaled 62 electoral votes and would have flipped the election his way. He had no less than seven conservative Republicans witness against him under oath and a number want him removed from the AG's office for his indictments.
You know - exactly the kind of guy Trump likes.
Cornyn - until today - had at least a tiny bit of core remaining. Today his actions literally say, "Shred the constitution, nothing is more important than me saving my hide." And now he's shown he can be bullied by a bully and do you REALLY think Paxton NOW has any incentive to drop out?
Now is when Paxton goes with, "You see, if he actually cared, he'd have done this long ago" and presents his crooked self as the only honest man in town.
