Texas Attorney General Clears Texas Attorney General Of All Charges.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in addition to pursuing frivolous election lawsuits, has been under indictment since 2015. The charges stem from allegations made by friend and former roommate (and fellow Republican) Byron Cook. Paxton tried to defeat the indictments in court, but failed.

Various employees subsequently accused Paxton of bribery and other crimes, which the FBI is investigating. The person who allegedly bribed Paxton (another Republican named Nate Paul) had his businesses raided by the FBI with a search warrant last August.

The allegations include that Paxton did a series of official favors for Paul in exchange for Paul getting a job for Paxton’s mistress. What’s a Republican scandal without a the salacious element of a paid off mistress?

Today Paxton’s office released a report concluding that Paxton did not violate any laws. “AG Paxton committed no crime,” said AG Paxton’s office, presumably with a straight face. This report was unsigned by any actual people. You can review the report, on AG Paxton’s letterhead, fully exonerating AG Paxton, HERE.

In the meantime the FBI investigation continues. The state prosecution for securities fraud, under the direction of a special prosecutor’s office, continues.

Republican hutzpah continues.
