Disband the FIB, tear down every piece of property they have, sell those pieces if property to real estate developers, and don’t replace the FIB with anything. It’s a communist organization from top to bottom.

Joe McCarthy was right, and we need another Council on Un-American Activities.

They FBI and the CIA do not deserve the right to hold back ANY classified materials. All of it needs to be released even if it damages any current “investigation”. They do no deserve the power and the privilege to conceal ANYTHING. They lost that privilege.

Still say, that George P will never be AG.

Far too much is exposed about him to let him skate in.

Like Jeb, he is too stupid for the job and has touched too many things to go nuts from his input.

Is the FBI using law-fare against this man? If not, the raid if very convenient at this time.

The FBI is clearly an arm for the DNC.

They are totally politicalized and must be broken part.

FBI Director Wray should be fired.

Find out who ordered this political witch hunt and fire everyone top to bottom involved.

Finally have an investigation these political operatives within the FBI that are stooges for the DNC. Possibly charge them too.

Odd timing.

Not that Paxton didn't do what he is accused of, just odd this would surface right at the time to Texas’ SCOTUS lawsuit.

Also odd that the Ferrule Burrow always seems to target republicans not democrats.

So why is Wray still FBI Director?

It is baffling. I thought for certain that the evening of election day after the polls closed there would be a bloodbath of firings. Thus far, Esper is it, and even that took a few days after the election to facilitate.

Trump's greatest failures have been his appointments. They have been the largest factor in his inability to overcome the Deep State. It's unfortunate, and it's sad, and I do fault him for these disasters. He seems to have a continual knack of shooting himself in the foot politically.

I only hope that there's some rhyme or reason to his lack of removing folks like Barr, Wray, Haspel, etc. etc. For the life of me, I can't see it.

The reluctance of President Trump to dismiss traitors, will stand out as his greatest weakness in his first term.
I just don't get it.

There is a lot of difference in Land commissioner and the AG.

George P is known for what he is. The nonsense with the Alamo was the first indicator. He made NO points there.

The timing is what is no surprise.

The justice and intelligence departments are enemies of the people.

I haven’t brought it up in all of the discussion about Texas’s lawsuit in the Supreme Court, because I don’t think it’s relevant to the legal issue, but the problems with Paxton are real. Seven of his top deputies signed a letter to the US Attorney in October accusing Paxton of bribery and other crimes.

Those were not liberals who signed that letter, and they are all lawyers who were hired by Paxton. One signatory, Jeff Mateer, the First Assistant Attorney General, previously worked as general counsel for First Liberty and was nominated by Trump to the federal bench. His nomination was withdrawn because he was too conservative on transgenderism and homosexuality. Another, Ryan Bangert, was at Alliance Defending Freedom, and I think he’s back with them now.

I don’t actually think Paxton filed the suit to distract from his own problems, but that’s not because I think Paxton is clean. I had hoped Paxton would have done the right thing by now and resigned so Abbot can appoint a replacement.
