Ken Paxton now using his Government office to challenge his impeachment

Office of the Attor­ney Gen­er­al Releas­es Out­side Law Firm’s Report Find­ing No Vio­la­tions of the Law or Agency Procedure

The Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) released a comprehensive report that unequivocally refutes incorrect testimony that was heard in the House General Investigating Committee. Based on the inaccuracies, falsehoods, and misstatements provided in that testimony, the Texas House chose to proceed with the illegal impeachment of Attorney General Paxton.

The General Investigating Committee’s politically motivated investigation against Attorney General Paxton is predicated on long-disproven claims grounded in hearsay and gossip. In August of 2021, after nearly a year of diligent investigation into these claims from former employees, the Office of the Attorney General released an exhaustive report that ultimately refuted each of the former employees’ allegations. In that report, the OAG stated it would further investigate the allegations and supplement as necessary. Subsequently, the OAG retained an outside law firm to conduct further investigation into the claims of retaliation by the former employees.

This law firm investigation culminated in a report that documents the OAG’s legitimate, non-retaliatory grounds for terminating each of these individuals. This report, along with other clarifying and ultimately exonerating information, could have been readily available to the committee investigators had they merely asked.

Furthermore, an official from the Office of the Attorney General was physically present at a hearing of the House General Investigating Committee on Thursday, May 25. The official offered to testify and sought to inform the House General Investigating Committee about this matter, including by supplying the report, which the official had a physical copy of with him. However, the House General Investigating Committee specifically chose to ignore the official’s offer to testify because they were narrowly focused on advancing an illegal action that would disenfranchise voters who duly elected the Attorney General. They were not interested in the truth. They were interested only in crafting a highly curated, one-sided case to overthrow the will of the voters.

3. If you pay me to write a report

I'll say whatever you pay me for it to say. The committee wisely chose to ignore the OAG propaganda.

4. This all sounds like projection to me. They accuse others of what they are doing.

As the article states:

They were not interested in the truth. They were interested only in crafting a highly curated, one-sided case to overthrow the will of the voters.

Classic projection.

5. Isn't he suspended from the office?

If so, what is the OAG’s authority to unilaterally release this ridiculous rant? Sounds like the governor needs to take charge of a rogue and leaderless agency…

Like that would ever happen
