A former judge, the top state official’s inept response to the Uvalde shooting shows how little of his legal training he remembers.All law schools train aspiring trial lawyers and judges to gather evidence, evaluate witnesses, and test claims and theories. We also learn not to interfere in criminal investigations. But Texas Governor Greg Abbott seems to have forgotten his legal training—and his ethics given his recent ham-handed response to the horrific school shooting in Uvalde.
At one time, Abbott understood the basic legal duties. As a judge, he saw great trial and appellate lawyers in action; he understood the traits of competent lawyers. That’s the opposite of what mentally capable judges, executives, or trial lawyers do. To the extent that interviews with witnesses were appropriate at this stage by the rusty civil lawyer-governor , he failed.
The governor now accuses the personnel he praised of providing inaccurate information—lies that, if they had been made to federal agents who are now investigating, could have been considered perjury. His notes and possible testimony about statements made by officials may be important to current investigations and prosecutions.
Yeah, nope ! He'll skate.
Francis isn’t any better. Flip flops more than Al Gore
He is a bad man. Period.
He's a good Christian.

Don't forget... Bad Person.
Reagan calls bullshit on BaddAbbott
leadership requires the realization that if you force subordinates into a corner with enough force they will lie just like a child will lie.
Blame game? This is on Abbott! He did away with the few protections that Texas had. AbbottFailedTexasAGAIN The children shot in Uvalde had to be identified by DNA! GunOwnersForSafety 2A GunReformNow NRAOwnsTheGOP BanAssaultWeaponsAGAIN
laywering aint okay needed one not to be one
Another Republican murderer Craig Abbott Remember of the Republican murder party is trying to wiggle his way out because there’s too many children getting murdered while they sit in their classrooms trying to learn,no gun control act sends people in to kill children 👧
Governor Finger Pointer...He best be looking into a mirror.
Abbott is the worst thing to ever happen to Texas.
Were you party to the conversations?
He needs to turn that pointing finger around and point it at himself. He’s at fault for all of it. So many ways this could have been prevented and it started w/him.
Bad, bad boy

Whos to say this was not planned? Biden talks about 2A then shootings everywhere happen. Beto talks about taking guns away in Texas. Same thing happens. 'Just sayin!'
Abbott can’t get his LIES straight.
Embarrassing
.GregAbbott_TX got caught covering up the crime
Should he be praising them for giving everyone misinformation. What's this story about? And the trial of Hillary's lawyer just proved that lying to Federal Agents is no big crime.
Bad person
From the same man who says the grid is fine even though it keeps going out at various times!! Thanks for nothing GregAbbott_TX !!!
He is destroying Texas from the bottom up!
Great piece.
It’s long past time for concerned Texans to demand that the state bar of Texas commence an immediate investigation into the egregious politics of GovAbbot! His blatantly corruptive political acts, increasing incompetency, ethics violations & official misconduct merit disbarment.
