This incident should make me laugh out loud. It should be just another example of a politician proving he’s a chickensh** coward.<\/p>\n

But dang! This is serious stuff and it reveals the utter lack of integrity of the man holding the office of Texas attorney general.<\/p>\n

AG Ken Paxton, a Republican, was supposed to receive a subpoena related to a lawsuit filed by those who want the state to pay for out-of-state abortions. It came from the federal government, which right there tells me it’s a serious matter.<\/p>\n

What did our state’s chief law enforcement officer do? He hid in a room inside his McKinney home, then fled an hour or so later with his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, at the wheel of their motor vehicle.<\/p>\n

Ken Paxton tried to avoid being served with subpoena, court record says | The Texas Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n

What an absolute crock of horse manure!<\/p>\n

Paxton sent out a Twitter message that said he was concerned for his family’s safety, which he said is why he didn’t respond to the process server. And that makes me go … huh?<\/em><\/p>\n

The Texas Tribune reports: \u201cIt\u2019s clear that the media wants to drum up another controversy involving my work as Attorney General, so they\u2019re attacking me for having the audacity to avoid a stranger lingering outside my home and showing concern about the safety and well-being of my family,\u201d he\u00a0wrote in a tweet<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The sequence of events appears weird on its face. The process server shows up. He waits around. Paxton is inside the house. Then his wife drives him away.<\/p>\n

How many more examples of Paxton’s unfitness for public office does this clown have to exhibit? He has been under felony indictment alleging securities fraud almost since the day he took office in 2015. The Securities and Exchange Commission launched an independent investigation. Several key legal aides quit the AG’s office after alleging misconduct by the attorney general himself. The FBI is examining a whistleblower complaint against the AG.<\/p>\n

Now this.<\/p>\n

I know this sounds silly, but if Paxton has done nothing wrong, why didn’t he just go to the front door of his home, receive the subpoena and then contest it the way he normally would … through due process?<\/p>\n

The guy should have resigned his office long ago.<\/p>\n
