If I were a guilty-as-sin Deep Stater, the best news I could possibly hear is that the F.B.I. is investigating me. Yea?

Pretty soon, being a conservative will guarantee that you will be under indictment.

Ken’s a good guy.

The accusations are intrastate.

Why is this a federal matter?

Unless there’s a republican to investigate, the fbi has no reason to get out of bed.

He beat his last indictment by convincing the county to not pay the special prosecuters that had been appointed.

I wouldn’t do business with him.

“The FBI is investigating allegations that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton broke the law in using his office to benefit a wealthy donor”

Now who is going to investigate the FBI for doing the same thing and much worse.
