AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The State Bar of Texas is dropping efforts to discipline Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton over allegations that his failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election amounted to professional misconduct.

The decision, revealed Wednesday in court filings, ends a yearslong attempt to potentially sanction Paxton over making false claims of fraud when he filed a lawsuit that questioned Democrat Joe Biden’s victory over Republican President Donald Trump.

The move comes a month after the Texas Supreme Court ruled that Paxton’s top deputy could not be sanctioned over similar accusations. A disciplinary commission for the state bar cited that December ruling in moving to drop its lawsuit against Paxton

I happen to think Ken Paxton in Texas is serious leadership material or candidate for higher office and I think he's going to run against Sen. John Cornyn.

Paxton has beat every lawsuit and every charge thrown at him since he’s not part of the establishment. He even beat a Bush

It’s quite interesting and I think he’s going places!!

Paxton should sue them back, individually. Only fear will make the left stop this crap.

I would have everyone involved in that lawsuit against Paxton severely punished.

He has already catapulted AG of Texas into one of the most powerful and influential positions in the US. He and a couple of like minded neighboring friends have played absolute havoc with the agenda of the left and their Bushite collaborators.

My despicable Texas State House rep Angie Chen Button voted to impeach Paxton and voted for Burrows for Texas House Speaker.

I did not vote for her last year. Just left that race blank.

It’s sickening to watch Texas House RINO’s aid and abet Texas House DemocRATs.

I would crawl over broken glass to replace Cornyn (R lite - D. C.) with Paxton.

Good move by them because 2020 was stolen by the DemonRATS. Any idiot who actually believes that Pedo Joe and the Jamaican Coconut got 82 million votes is doing way too many drugs.

To halt the overturn of the 2020 election because of vote fraud.

Never use the enemy's lying language. They *DID* overturn the results of the 2020 election through vote fraud.

Paxton and others tried to stop it, but the media liars and Republican backstabbers let it happen.

I loved the way Texans responded to the idiots trying to “Trump” Paxton. The election came up and millions of Texans said, “Not today, Jose!”. I was one of them. Ken is da man.

Only Ken can do it and dispatch/retire that RINO
