Not sure what Hagar is up to here. He is supposed to be a republican.
He seems to have been a good comptroller.
Sounds like he is begging for an AG investigation into the comptroller's office.
(Not that there is anything wrong with that....)

There is no question that, much like the Clintons, the Bushs were a disaster for our nation:

Thankfully, it was a disastrous week for the “wise wing” of the GOP. Not only did they lose Romney, but they also lost in their attempt to impeach a strong Trump supporter, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The entire effort was a sham, much like the impeachments of President Trump.

Behind the scenes, the person leading the Paxton impeachment campaign was George P. Bush, Jeb’s son and the nephew of the former President. He had poorly lost to Paxton in the last election for Attorney General and was trying to oust his opponent through impeachment since he could not do it in the election.

Fortunately, on Saturday, the Texas State Senate acquitted Paxton on all sixteen charges. In his address to Texas State Senators, Paxton’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, declared that Paxton’s opponents “did not have anything.”

He said all the so-called whistleblowers against Paxton hired an attorney who was a “protégé of the Bush regime.” As he concluded his comments, Buzbee announced emphatically, “The Bush-era ends today.”

By acquitting Paxton and returning one of the best Attorney Generals in the country to his position, Texas State Senators finally ended a regime that had a disastrous reign of influence over the Republican Party, the state of Texas, and the country for over four decades.

It was an era marked by failure for the Republican Party and the country. Fortunately, the future for the Republican Party looks much brighter under the leadership of President Trump.

As with Trump, it doesn’t matter what one might think of Ken Paxton. In the Texas House there is a cabal of Democrats and Republicans that control the whole apparatus and while there has been significant efforts to disrupt this cabal, it still exists and Ken is one of the disruptors. In response, the cabal has impeached him on charges too vague to be addressed here, probably because he’s worked so hard to secure the border and push back against Biden’s (Obama’s) worse instincts. This is a fight for the voice of average Texans. I’ve made several calls to Senator Charles Perry, my message is this: to even take part in this unlawful impeachment is an impeachable offense.

I can’t get into minute detail here, but in Texas there’s the “Prior Term Doctrine” which states that if the issues were known prior to someone’s election, (in Paxton’s case, they were) the candidate cannot be impeached for something that happened in the prior term. This is exactly what is happening to Ken Paxton in particular and Texans in general. The reason for the Prior Term Doctrine is to demonstrate that the voice of the people will not be ignored. This impeachment, investigated in secret, with testimony not held under oath, violates the rules of the House, jurisprudence and the Prior Term Doctrine all at the same time. There is no criminal charges here, only some unusual or questionable reactions to impropriety Paxton was investigating.

This is a bigger issue than just for Texans, because it affects the border issues. If Ken Paxton is impeached and they get someone like George P. Bush into that office, forget any border enforcement that Texas might strive for going forward. In fact, Bush would likely sue Abbott for what little he has done to enforce the border. Why do I bring up George P. Bush? Guess who Paxton beat in the last election for Attorney General. Yep, George P. Bush. This is a way for the establishment to win the election they just lost.
