Impeachment Bribe Contact Reported in Carrillo Case
State Rep. Jim Kaster says he was approached on the Texas House floor last May by a man who offered to drop impeachment articles against suspended District Judge O P Carrillo. The caller warned it would cost plenty of money to stop the impeachment. Kaster notified Speaker Bill Clayton and Parliamentarian Bob Johnson and kept silent to catch the would-be bribe. Clayton recalls threats but not the source. Mitchell questions Kaster’s motives amid ongoing proceedings before the Judicial Qualifications Commission and the Senate.
