The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day:  The impeachment imbroglio of Ken Paxton continued with a House Persecutor lawyer questioning their “key witness,” former First Assistant Attorney General Jeff Mateer. Not only did the testimony never come close to establishing that Mr. Mateer had any specific knowledge or evidence of Paxton breaking the law, his testimony gave tremendous credence to the spoiled staffers environment in which the appointees actually think they are above the one who appointed them – in this case the elected Attorney General.

Texas A.G. Ken Paxton

In cross-examination, the entire narrative of the House impeachers fell apart and showed precisely, under oath this time, exactly what I had explained three years ago happened. These arrogant folks went to the FBI to try and destroy Paxton without bothering to ask even the most basic questions about what it was that had “alarmed” them. Now, with egg on the face, it is fully admitted that they were simply ignorant of the work that was being done, not for Nate Paul, but for the Travis County D.A.’s office.
