This looks like it was just political theater.

Par for the course for Ken Paxton, one of the most blatantly corrupt politicians in the US.

It truly is unbelievable how out in the open corrupt he is, and last time I checked, he is the front runner for the US Senate in Texas.

		Republicans have quite a few of these sorts of folks. See Rick Scott rewarded with multiple elections to office after leading the largest medicare fraud settlement in our nations history. Republicans are convinced government doesn't work and try their best to put the people in office to prove it.
