Texas Lawyer Common Ken Paxton joins Steve Bannon on The Battle Room to debate Tuesday’s Texas major election outcomes.
Paxton celebrated the victory of 24 or 25 pro-MAGA candidates within the Texas GOP major final evening. Paxton known as for an finish to open primaries in Texas after Democrats had been capable of win seats for Reno candidates like controversial Texas Speaker Ded Phelan.
Ken Paxton then went on to explain the depth of corruption within the US Division of Justice and the FBI.
Agee and Paxton: This occurred to me three and a half years in the past. The truth is, I obtained a referral from the Travis County District Lawyer to the FBI and the Division of Justice to research corruption for violations of state and federal legislation. I began that course of solely to search out out that the FBI knew about it earlier than I did. They knew in regards to the referral earlier than I did, and so they had been already threatening folks in my workplace and intimidating all of them. And that is how the entire coup occurred in my workplace. I instructed my workers, we’re investigating them as a result of this situation is over. I do not care what they do to us. If we won’t stand as much as the FBI and the Justice Division once they’re committing crimes, and so they’re committing crimes, if I might end this investigation, we would discover it and we would at the very least publish it, regardless that we would should get the authority to prosecute it.
I assure you, They do not comply with any guidelines anymore. They do not obey the structure. It is actually laborious to carry them accountable once they can begin an investigation in opposition to me, they’ve my investigation and it went to an investigation in opposition to me, and that is precisely what occurred in my case.
Steve Bannon: Stick with it. I wish to return and hit this rewind. We’re sitting right here the day after this historic runoff that got here from a historic major, that got here from a historic impeachment that mainly delivered to folks’s consideration how the Bush institution nonetheless runs Texas, regardless that it is a mega state. You say this all began years in the past if you obtained data that you simply needed to open an FBI investigation or an FBI investigation, after which they got here instantly. They already knew.
Ken Paxton: …So I preserve monitor of it, and my head of legislation enforcement tells me, I am instructed by my prime folks, we’re not investigating them. And I mentioned, why? They usually say, as a result of legislation enforcement cannot commit crimes. And I mentioned, what does it imply? We don’t examine legislation enforcement as a result of it’s not attainable for them to commit a criminal offense. It was instructed to me by David Maxwell, who was my chief of legislation enforcement… Then I went to my first assistant, and I mentioned, we wish to fireplace that man. And he goes, I am unable to. I mentioned, why? He mentioned as a result of he threatened me. And he mentioned, if I do what you need me to do, if I examine them, they are going to come after me. Just like the FBI and the Justice Division are going to return after you…
…That is when folks in my workplace filed costs in opposition to me, saying I dedicated a federal crime, however they by no means mentioned what it was. After which supposedly due to that grievance, they may do no matter they wished in my workplace and I could not do away with them. And the FBI is investigating me consequently, saying I haven’t got the authority to fireside these folks. This can be a federal crime, and now I’ve dedicated a criminal offense. And that is what I’ve been coping with for the previous 4 years, these folks harassing me…
…and the draw back to all of that is that the reality by no means got here out. We had been by no means capable of full the investigation. And I assure you, if we might have accomplished that investigation, we’d have discovered that the FBI didn’t comply with the Structure. They don’t situation search warrants as they’re presupposed to. They go in and examine them and later they situation a search warrant. They violate the Structure, after which they alter public information, which is a violation of state legislation. However I by no means obtained it as a result of the Travis County DA, when all of this blew up, pulled it. And people folks in my workplace turned me round in such a means that all of a sudden I used to be the topic of an investigation. And that is what occurs if you comply with a Russian to the FBI and the Justice Division.
Steve Bannon: So what to do?… What do the residents who purchased the legislation should do? Why do not extra AGs step as much as this? They turned a Gestapo, an American Gestapo. DOJ is as corrupt as Lisa Monaco, Matthew Colangelo, Mary Garland. What ought to common residents do?
Agee and Paxton: Steve, I am telling you, They’re the Gestapo. We’re in Venezuela. We’d as nicely dwell in China. We’d as nicely have been in Germany within the 30s and 40s. It’s corrupt. It is the Gestapo. They not obey any legal guidelines, and nobody can cease them. And due to what occurred to me, these different agers are afraid to do something anyway. So many causes to concern what are you able to do? How do you cease them?
And I feel that is the unfolding of this case the place this decide is unredacting all of these items. We have to have extra publicity. After which second, we’ve to have a president who will come, Get an lawyer normal who will take these folks out And ensure the corruption goes away and we begin over.
You might be proper. After I heard you say, we have to begin over, as a result of proper now, they had been shaped. The FBI was created to battle organized crime. Now the issue is they’re organized crime. They’re paid for by taxpayer {dollars}. They’ve turn into organized crime…
…It could be higher if nothing occurred now. Everybody does nicely, nicely, what’s the crime? They’re not there to cease crime. They’re a political group designed to oppress folks such as you and me. And so it’s higher to don’t have anything than to have it. So, sure, you must take it to the bottom and begin over. I do not know some other means as a result of there’s a lot corruption and it has been created by so many different folks for thus lengthy. I do not know how one can determine who’s doing all of the dangerous issues until you simply… as a result of you do not have a variety of time. It’s important to do it rapidly and you must begin with one thing else.
