Good article. Makes it clear he had an affair. That's it. He was investigating some members of his staff for wrongdoing and they got wind of it. Now all hell has broken loose.
This would have gotten out a LONG time ago had he told anyone in 2018.Quote:
The two people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity due to fears about retaliation, said the high-profile Republican official acknowledged the affair in 2018 to senior members of his office and political staff. They said he told them that he had ended the affair with the woman, who then worked for a GOP state senator.

Paxton releases new response to allegations against him, FBI investigating
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a new statement Tuesday that he is prepared to fight allegations against him by former top aides into whether he abused his office to help a high-end campaign donor.
Paxton is accused of improperly helping Austin investor Nate Paul, who alleged that the FBI and other federal officials violated his Constitutional rights during a raid on his property last year.

He's actually a pretty good AG and has been working with many GOP county judges to get around or oppose mask mandates.

Yes. Far more interested in forcefulness and policy now than personality nonsense. Paxton has been resisting the wobbly response to many restrictions and more on the open things side of the argument.Leather Tuscadero said:BoydCrowder13 said:WestAustinAg said:

What kind of corruption? Since most politics is by default -- right now, far less concerned with fiscal things, or pork and zero with sex affairs, compared to stop the Marxist march left on restrictions and sliding blue.aginresearch said:
Conservatives should be very careful in defending in AG Paxton. He's corrupt to the core. Just because he advocates for policies you like doesn't mean he should get a pass on corruption.
Are you trolling?PneumAg said:
The only thing that matters is that he opposes the great evil of communism. That makes him a good dude in my book. Don't care about affairs. Don't care about bribery. Don't care about securities fraud. Stopping the left is all that matters.

His time with Joe Barton I believe back in the early 1990s.Quote:
What are you talking about? His time in Washington D.C. was mostly spent in the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division as a lawyer.
