Former President Donald Trump said he would consider tapping Ken Paxton for U.S. attorney general if he wins a second term in the White House, calling his longtime ally “a very talented guy” and praising his tenure as Texas’ chief legal officer.
“I would, actually,” Trump said Saturday when asked by a KDFW-TV reporter if he would consider Paxton for the national post. “He’s very, very talented. I mean, we have a lot of people that want that one and will be very good at it. But he’s a very talented guy.”
Paxton has long been a close ally of Trump, famously waging an unsuccessful legal challenge to Trump’s 2020 election loss in four battleground states. He also spoke at the pro-Trump rally that preceded the deadly U.S. Capitol riot in January 2021.
Paxton’s loyalty was rewarded with an endorsement from Trump in the 2022 primary, which helped the attorney general fend off three prominent GOP challengers.

remember,,, ken was texas ag for awhile and rejected voting machines for elections in texas after investigating how they work and found so many vulnerabilities for altering data he refused to certify the machines and software for texas.
i watched a 3 hour vid ken did, that even had pages shown on the structure of system in diagram form straight from dminion ,iirc , tech manual.
iow
ken knows where the cheats happen
and that these machines are just fraud factories.
that is why the rinos and dems went for his throat.
God protected ken and he prevailed against the attacks
ken paxton is as dangerous to them as trump is.

i have searched youtube for that 3 hourvideo manytimes since i watched it and cant find it. about 2017 i think.
the browser history link was on my first cell phone that died shortly after i watched that vid.
While it's true that RINOs tried to get Paxton, those were state legislators who would not have anything to do with Paxton's federal confirmation.
Yes, please.
Agree.
Mark Levin would rampage through the DOJ and leave it a smoldering ruin.
Except you can’t. They are civil servants and covered by very specific rules
It seems our Att Gen(OK) is trying to raise his profile too.
He’s needed to take on Cornyn in ‘26. Atty. Gen. for one year? No.
Linda. Trump could fire him the minute he’s confirmed.
“While it’s true that RINOs tried to get Paxton, those were state legislators who would not have anything to do with Paxton’s federal confirmation. “
Yeah. That would be Senate RINOs in DC blocking Paxton.
You can transfer them to different civil servant positions.
But the rats have also destroyed the senate confirmation process, along with so much else. This we have the illegally still-serving Secty of Labor, infamous commie what’s-her-name, whom the senate will not confirm but who is still serving

we have been occupied by a rogue gallery of domestic enemies and traitors...
The new AG cannot be a Beltway insider, nor a mannequin like Sessions.
Not readily. Plus they are still on the taxpayers dime
I wish, but no way would he ever take it.
“Former President Donald Trump said he would consider tapping Ken Paxton for U.S. attorney general”
Now we’re talking. More Paxtons, fewer deadbeats like last time around.

God protected ken and he prevailed against the attacks

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Totally agree.
He would be the ideal USAG
Great pick but I’d still prefer him to stay in TX.
Hard to say which is the better decision but this IS one of Trump’s better ideas.
Appoint as “Acting xxx”
that can be done?
