Bill Clinton has never been convicted of a crime either. Neither has Joe Biden. Does that mean either of them isn't a crook?

It is not a political difference of opinion. It is about Paxton using his office to benefit an Austin real estate investor named Nate Paul. There is a summary of the allegations in this opinion from the 3rd Court of Appeals in the whistleblower case filed by some of the deputied: https://search.txcourts.gov/SearchMedia.aspx?MediaVersionID=e4aef17c-e652-44e5-a0e2-33254e35018d&coa=coa03&DT=Opinion&MediaID=339a6f72-bbcd-4523-8983-8fc340496cb4

I know the first two men on that list, and they are extremely conservative and have dedicated their careers to serving conservative causes. Jeff Mateer has spent most of his career at the First Liberty Institute, which is currently representing the 35 SEALs in the vaccine mandate case and Coach Kennedy in the football field prayer case. Mateer was nominated to the federal bench by Trump, but the nomination was withdrawn after Cornyn decided he was too far to the right on transgender issues. Ryan Bangert is senior counsel and vice president of the Alliance Defending Freedom.

These aren't people who will make up allegations of corruption over a policy dispute. Certainly not all eight of them.

I have no interest in arguing this.

You may be correct. But I have not seen any of what you described. Not saying it is not so, but have not seen it.

Another point, I avoid Austin as much as possible. My daughter and my X son-in-law lived in Williamson County, near Austin. Before he was transferred to the DC office of his company.

Last time I was in Austin, my daughter was discussing moving back to Texas and we went house shopping in Austin. That was when Governor Abbott’s last Inauguration was. The two times before that I was there was to receive Family Land Heritage Awards for my Uncle and later my Grandmother.
