AUSTIN, Texas — FBI agents have issued at least one federal subpoena for records from the Texas attorney general's office in an ongoing investigation into allegations against Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Sources confirmed to KVUE the requests for information were issued on Wednesday at the agency's headquarters on West 14th Street. It was not immediately clear how many subpoenas were issued or what information federal agents sought.

The investigation started after top Paxton aides alleged to the FBI in early October they believe Paxton may be committing crimes that include abuse of office and bribery in his dealings with Austin investor Nate Paul.

The group claimed Paxton took a number of steps to benefit Paul, whose offices were raided by the FBI last year. Those steps included hiring an outside investigator to investigate Paul's assertion that the FBI violated his constitutional rights during the raid.

Aw, c’mon, the “world’s premiere law enforcement agency” would never do something so underhanded. It’s a mere coincidence that Biden said he would keep Christopher Wray as FBI Director.

Funny how the left gets the courts and the bureaucracy to give them anything they want. Abortion, gay marriage, etc...and their wins are universal. Ours are temporary stays if we get those. This country is really starting to stink like a rotting carcass.

This is the d’rats Austin dirty tricks squad up to their lawfare style political assassination games again. I have to admit that I’m surprised they could call in deep state favors from the FBI. Nah,it’s Wray; of course they could.

The FBI and Justice should be ALL over the states with mass-scale voter fraud.

They’re not.

That says it all.

This is Cornyn and Jeb’s work. It’s all about George P Bush’s primary challenge against Paxton.

Meanwhile, the FBI ignores the hundreds of whistleblowers citing voting fraud by Dominion.

It’s time to burn the FBI to the ground and scatter the ashes, plow the site with salt.

The fbi, those 99.9% honest, hard working, boy scouts have time to investigate the Texas AG that brings a lawsuit against election fraud, but no time to investigate actual election fraud.

God and the SCOTUS willing, in Trump's second term, he needs to close the fbi, cia and cut the state department by 60% on January 20, 2021 before 3:00 PM.

It would be a good start.

***...and cut the state department by 60%***

I especially like this one, it is a huge money laundering instrument... kickbacks from foreign aid grants and most especially huge amounts of taxpayer dollars to various S0r0s activist enterprises.

In fact, the D.C. swamp is pretty much a taxpayer money laundering instrument that does little good for its benefactor.

No doubt they are following direct orders from their Slime Minister...
The Republic is under attack, that IS a ‘fact’. The swamp runs deep.

George P will never be AG of TX.

He has already soiled himself too much.
