“I trust what his very conservative Republican deputies all said.”

Name them.

First Assistant AG Jeff Mateer, Deputy First Assistant AG Ryan Bangert, Deputy AG James Brickman, Deputy AG Mark Penley, Deputy AG Lacey Mase, Deputy AG Darren McCarty, Deputy AG Ryan Vassar, and Deputy Director David Maxwell. The first seven signed a very public letter about this, and four have filed a Whistleblower suit against the OAG over it. Were you not aware of that?

I was aware there was a charge. Did not know it was simply a letter.

I have not heard anything about a conviction.

I suspect it is a political difference of opinion. Texas politics has always had disputes. There has at times been very bad corruption, remembering LBJ and others.

Generally some “groups” (like the Aggie mafia) manage to keep things operating.
