AUSTIN, TX - FEBRUARY 18: (L -R) U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick hold a joint press conference February 18, 2015 in Austin, Texas.
Updated at 5 p.m.: Revised to include comment from John Owens, the former attorney general’s office employee targeted in Attorney General Ken Paxton’s letter.
AUSTIN — Attorney General Ken Paxton, jumping to the aid of his predecessor and current Gov. Greg Abbott, on Friday sent a letter attempting to silence a critic who said the governor dropped a lawsuit against Donald Trump for political reasons.
“The information now publicly available that you disclosed contains both privileged and confidential information,” Paxton’s first assistant attorney general Jeffrey Mateer said in a letter to John Owens, former deputy director of then-Attorney General Abbott’s Consumer Protection Division.
Owens told the Dallas Morning News and other media outlets that the state’s consumer protection division had sought permission in May 2010 to pursue a lawsuit against Donald Trump and Trump University for bilking Texas taxpayers out of more than $2.6 million.
But that lawsuit was never filed.
Instead, the investigation Abbott had opened into the now-defunct real estate training program and Trump, now the presumptive Republican nominee for president, was dropped and Trump University agreed to cease operations in Texas.
Owens alleged that the decision to quash the lawsuit against Trump was a political move that left Texas consumers “high and dry.”
Years later, Trump gave Abbott $35,000 in political contributions, the only sizable giving the real estate mogul has done in Texas.
Owens on Friday stood by his statements but said in light of threats from the powerful attorney general’s office he would not comment further other than to defend himself. He had been scheduled to appear for an interview on MSNBC.
“Everything I said was accurate and true,” Owens said. “I’ve done nothing illegal or unethical. I think it’s just a scare tactic.”
Abbott took to Twitter on Friday to call the stories about his involvement in the Trump U decision “bogus.”
Shortly after that Tweet, Paxton’s office released a copy of the cease-and-desist letter it sent to Owens.
The letter accuses Owens of breaching his legal duty to hold information regarding his client confidential and says he may have broken “several state laws” by divulging information he obtained as an employee at the AG’s office.
“In light of these provisions, we ask that you immediately cease and desist from disclosing any privileged or confidential information obtained from your employment with this agency,” the letter demands.
Also on Friday, David Morales, a former deputy attorney general, said that he made the decision to drop the Trump case without consulting Abbott beforehand. He informed his boss afterward, he said.
“I am proud that our Consumer Protection Division was able to get Trump University to immediately and permanently leave the State of Texas,” Morales said in his statement. “Their good work served our Texas consumers well.”
But that begs the question, WWE, whom are you defending here? THe people of Texas? THe Governor? THe soon to be felon AG? Or the fraudulent scam artist, Ponzi The Clown?
No wonder you can only respond with barnyard grunts.

Hillary Clinton is excoriating Donald Trump over Trump University? The Clinton scandal at Laureate Education, a for- profit education chain of schools and colleges operating world-wide, including the United States is much worse. That New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is pursuing Trump University while ignoring CGI-University, a shady joint venture of Laureate and the Clinton Global Initiative adds insult to injury.
The Laureate Education went private in August 2007, in a multi billion dollar, risky, hugely leveraged transaction, closed in the last gasp of the bubble. The leveraged buyout was completed around August 2007 for approximately $3 billion in debt plus equity. The driving force behind the deal is of Friend of Bill (FOB) hedge fund king Steven Cohen, a poster child for bad hedge fund behavior. Henry Kravis and his KKR, Goldman Sachs and many others are in.

After the deal closed, the schools had great financial difficulties and these capital suppliers grew concerned. Bill Clinton’s pals were feeling squeezed as a profitable exit seemed less and less likely.
To dress the deal up in 2010, Bill Clinton was brought in to serve as “Chancellor,” a part-time position for which he was collecting $16 million through early 2015. This extraordinary compensation was never properly disclosed until 2015. Many of those on the hook paid Bill and Hillary big fees for speeches as well. Bill Clinton was thus collecting from both Laureate equity and debt suppliers. The Laureate CEO, Doug Becker, is involved as a Clinton backer, Clinton Global Initiative and Clinton Foundation donor and involved in the International Youth Foundation, a recipient of favors and money from the Clinton-led Department of State
NEW YORK – Bill and Hillary Clinton’s attack on Donald Trump over Trump University could invite increased scrutiny of the Clintons’ involvement in a for-profit education scandal in which a company that runs shell colleges paid Bill Clinton $16.5 million to be its pitchman.
While the Clintons were collecting millions, Hillary Clinton’s State Department funneled at least $55 million to a group run by the college company, Laureate Education Inc., according to Peter Schweizer’s book “Clinton Cash” as Breitbart reported.
Clinton abruptly resigned from his post as “honorary chancellor” in April 2015 when the disclosure was publicized.
Documents uncovered by Washington-based watchdog Judicial Watch show Laureate Education paid the former president through a “shell corporation” pass-through account that evidently passed State Department scrutiny while Hillary was secretary of state.
Further, in a story showing how for-profit colleges encourage huge student debt, Forbes found the biggest borrower on the for-profit college list is Laureate Education’s Walden University, whose grad students borrowed $756 million in 2014.
Hillary University: Bill Clinton Bagged $16.46 Million from For-Profit College as State Dept. Funneled $55 Million Back
With her campaign sinking in the polls, Hillary Clinton has launched a desperate attack against Trump University to deflect attention away from her deep involvement with a controversial for-profit college that made the Clintons millions, even as the school faced serious legal scrutiny and criminal investigations.
In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative. Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation. Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer.
As the Washington Post reports, “Laureate has stirred controversy throughout Latin America, where it derives two-thirds of its revenue.” During Bill Clinton’s tenure as Laureate’s chancellor, the school spent over $200 million a year on aggressive telemarketing, flashy Internet banner ads, and billboards designed to lure often unprepared students from impoverished countries to enroll in its for-profit classes. The goal: get as many students, regardless of skill level, signed up and paying tuition.

Bill Clinton Profits from World’s Largest For-Profit University
By Michael Bargo, Jr.
As accusations swirl around Donald Trump for the complaints filed against Trump University, few people know about how Bill Clinton was hired in 2010 to be Chancellor for the Laureate Network, the world’s largest for-profit university network.
Not just Bill Clinton but other Clinton friends from the past were hired to promote the university. Investors in the vast multinational university include Henry Kravis, George Soros, Steve Cohen and Paul Allen. One of the investors in Laureate University, SAC Capital Advisors LP, is a hedge fund that had to pay a $1.2 billion dollar settlement to the US Dept. of Justice to settle allegations of insider trading.
Bill Clinton has personally been paid to make appearances promoting Laureate University in countries such as Malaysia, Peru and Spain. By January 2014 Laureate University had 800,000 students worldwide and its annual revenue was $4 billion, far larger than the revenues of Trump University.
Laureate has taken over struggling colleges by using high-pressure marketing tactics such as “turbocharging enrollment” using students as telemarketers. Laureate University was investigated by the Rio State Legislature’s Investigative Commission on Private Universities in Brazil. Robson Leite, a Rio state legislator who led the probe concluded: “They have turned education into a commodity that focuses more on profit than knowledge”
After a while, you gotta get really frustrated trying to understand....
Of course, the telling statement is in the lead of this "journalistic report." Gives it away right there. It's supermarket tabloid tripe. But why let that stop you? After all, an outing to the grocery store counts, don't it, SLOBBRIN?
(Psst ... Peaches are in season again. Dress appropriately!)
Abbott builds case against Drumpf U. Then POOF!
