Hmmm. When I talked

Hmmm. When I talked to Texas state rep Lon Burnam he told me he had “multiple sources” at the Texas Department of Public Safety who told him about illicit document shredding. When he was deposed yesterday he said his only source was Roberta Bilsky, a staffer for Kevin Bailey, the Democrat running the investigation in the state House. How do you explain the conflict? Good question. On an equally troubling note, the State Attorney General’s Office now wants to depose Bailey. In other words, Bailey is investigating the AG’s office among others to find out their role in the manhunt. And now the AG’s office wants to put Bailey and his folks under oath. The saga continues.
