brazen impunity to law is a flex, not least for felony indicted Ken Paxton. in any normative political scenario, his own party would make him resign.
Instead, they allow him to stand for reelection.
Paxton bends the knee, Texas taxpayers will foot the bill.
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/te...ption/3191800/Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has agreed to apologize and pay $3.3 million in taxpayer money to four former staffers who accused him of corruption in 2020, igniting an ongoing FBI investigation of the three-term Republican.
Under terms of a preliminary lawsuit settlement filed Friday, Paxton made no admission of wrongdoing to accusations of bribery and abuse of office, which he has denied for years and called politically motivated.
But Paxton did commit to making a remarkable public apology toward some of his formerly trusted advisers whom he fired or forced out after they reported him to the FBI. He called them "rogue employees" after they accused Paxton of misusing his office to help one of his campaign contributors, who also employed a woman with whom the attorney general acknowledged having an extramarital affair.
The attorney general's office did not immediately respond to a voicemail message seeking comment Friday.
Both sides signed a mediated agreement that was filed in the Texas Supreme Court and will be followed by a longer, formalized settlement.
"Attorney General Ken Paxton accepts that plaintiffs acted in a manner that they thought was right and apologizes for referring to them as 'rogue employees,'" the final settlement must state, according to court records.
In all, eight members of Paxton's senior staff joined in the extraordinary revolt in 2020 and either resigned or were fired. The settlement is with four of them who sued under Texas' whistleblower law.
Ain't that a !
He s up and taxpayers foot the bill.
Texas Lege might put away its rubber stamp, a very welcome development.

Phelan, a Beaumont Republican, does not anticipate that the money will be included in the House budget, he said in a Wednesday interview with CBS DFW.
