We asked Abbott for his and his staff’s emails with Elon Musk and Musk’s companies. The governor’s office won’t turn them over, saying some contain “intimate and embarrassing” information that is “not of legitimate concern to the public.”

We teachers are constantly reminded that our school emails are considered public documents and could be subpoenaed at any time. So we can't use it for personal or inflammatory communication. Because we're considered public servants.

But the governor, he is above the law?

He's Republican, so yes.

Were they maybe reminiscing about what they and DJT had going on back in the Lolita Express or on Epsteins island?
