11. That is the first time that I've heard that about Greg Abbott.

Abbott is the current attorney general in Texas and running for governor. I believe that you are referring to the Republican nominee, Ken Paxton, who is running to replace Abbott as far as the investigation for securities fraud is concerned.

Abbott does have a lot of problems (Nugent, his role on the board of the state cancer agency CPRIT, etc.), but we must make a concerted effort to associate Rethugs with their miscellaneous crimes. Thus far, although he is repulsive, the only crime that Abbott might be tied into would be bribery from his campaign contributors which means proving a quid quo pro relationship and it doesn't look like it meets that standard--yet.
