Texas AG Ken Paxton will be deposed in fraud case after election, lawyer says

AUSTIN — Lawyers representing the men who accused Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton of securities fraud say they will be able to question him under oath — but not until after the election.

On Friday, Collin County District Court Judge Cynthia Wheless ordered Paxton to sit for a one-hour deposition on Nov. 28, according to attorneys representing former GOP Rep. Byron Cook of Corsicana and Florida billionaire businessman Joel Hochberg.

Terry Jacobson, who represents the two men along with Alex More of Dallas, confirmed the date but declined to comment further. Paxton’s agency and campaign staff, as well as his attorney, Mitch Little, did not respond to a request for comment.

The deposition order comes after Paxton filed motions to reject at least two subpoenas in the past three months, citing scheduling conflicts.

Ignorance vs Stupidity

The intrinsic difference is that ignorance simply implies lack of awareness about something, while stupidity denotes the inability of a person to understand something due to insufficient intelligence, thus leading to the misinterpretation of a fact.

He is every bit as evil as Trump. Make no mistake about it. Big guys in Austin protect him because he will do anything for publicity. He will write up any law just to stick it to people.
He has NO shame or integrity.
