Emails Reveal Texas AG Ken Paxton Is LYING About Being Afraid Of Process Server

Texas attorney general Ken Paxton says that he feared for his life when a process server was trying to give him a subpoena earlier this week, going as far as to say that the server is lucky things didn't "escalate" to the point of Paxton using force against him. But new emails from Paxton's own office have proven that this is a LIE, and his office was well aware that the process server would be delivering the subpoena that day. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

After indicted, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fled a process server earlier this week claiming that he feared for his life because there's a strange man outside of my house and I'm terrified a judge decided to squash that subpoena and say, Okay, it's all right Mr. Paxton. You don't have to come and appear in court even though you're being sued. And you know, this subpoena was basically to make sure that we can continue the case. Don't worry, we'll totally mess up our entire justice system here, just because you've got a little scared of guy in your yard, right? Well, Ken Paxton, after of course, he ran away from the individual trying to serve him the subpoena, We told that story earlier this week. Ken Paxton came out and said, um, this individual, Ernesto Herrera is lucky that things didn't escalate to the point where I needed to use force, because that's how scared apparently Ken Paxton was. So Paxton comes out, he does this little, you know, talk to the media where he basically says like, Yeah, I was about two seconds away from shooting him because he was that scared because he had no idea this guy was showing up, right?

Actually, he did. Thanks to emails that have been released from the group, from the group of lawyers that hired the process server, we now know that Ken Paxton is lying his off. And he knew that that process server was showing up at his house on Monday at the specific time that he showed up. According to the emails, this is from the lawyer who filed the lawsuit where Paxton has been subpoenaed to the Assistant Attorney General of the State of Texas, woman by the name of Amy Hilton works side by side with Ken Paxton. An email sent Friday, September 23rd from the lawyer to Hilton said this, I assume you'd like for us to serve that through you, but will you please confirm by noon today that you will accept service? Otherwise, we'll start the personal service process. I'd really prefer not to have to do that. Of course.

So Friday, September 23rd in the morning, they sent the notice to Paxton's office telling him like, Hey, uh, do we send the subpoena to your office? Or do you want us to hire the guy to go to your house like you Let us know by noon today. Obviously we don't want to go to your house, but just let us know. We'll take care of it. Hilton did not respond, however, so you may be thinking, Okay, well Hilton didn't respond, so there's a chance she didn't see it, didn't know it was happening. Oh, but there's so much more. But on Sunday, attorneys from the Texas Attorney General's office told Myers, the lawyer, that the subpoena was invalid because it was served through Paxton's office, but sought to depose him in his individual capacity according to the plaintiff's motion before the judge.

So the office did respond, and they were like, Hey, you can't do that through us because he is not, not being sued as the Attorney General, he is being sued as a dude. We're not representing him, but I guess now we are gonna represent him according to later on. But they knew. So they knew that this man, the process server was gonna show up at Paxton's house on Monday the very next day. So there is no excuse for Paxton saying, I was so scared of him, I was gonna shoot him if I had to Uhuh, total bs.
