Ken Paxton is an asshole. Since the State Bar is suing to disbar Paxton, Paxton is suing/investigating the State Bar Foundation for bogus/made up charges

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation Friday into the Texas Bar Foundation, saying hes heard complaints the lawyers group is funneling taxpayers money to organizations that encourage and fund illegal immigration.
Mr. Paxton asked the bar to turn over its charitable giving lists for the past 10 years, as well as any documents detailing how those decisions were made.
He said hes received complaints from Rep. Troy E. Nehls, Texas Republican, and members of the public about the bar foundations behavior.

Troy Nehls is my asshole congresscritter. The man is pond scum who got fired from a couple of police departments. My old congressional district used to be R-1 and Nehls had it gerrymandered to be a R+22 district. Paxton twin brother is running for county judge and was funding a candidate in the Democratic primary. Luckily the real democrat won.

Any registered voter who did NOT vote in the Dem primary may vote in the GOP runoff. Just sayin'.
