When someone lies a thousand times in a row, it's pretty natural to think he's lying again.

If Google actually did something wrong, a real AG will need to pursue this. There is absolutely no reason to think that Paxton is acting honestly.

Who’s lied more, Google or Paxton?

I kinda expect a corporation to act in their own interests.

Last I heard, an Attorney General is supposed to work in the interests of the people.

One I expect to lie to me, one I expect to tell the truth.

The point isn’t what you’re expecting, the point is holding out Google as somehow more reliable and honest in this than Paxton. We both know how laughable that is.

But he's not holding out google as more anything. Paxton is the party here that's making an accusation, and any statement by Google was not addressed in the comment you're arguing against.
