DPS seeks AG opinion on excrement request

[TexasTowelie]

Tired of the Texas Capitol poo talk? So are we, but it wasn’t the media who opened up that jar – err, can – of worms.

The latest development in our efforts to sniff (or try not to) out the truth has been stymied by the Texas Department of Public Safety. On Monday, I received an email stating that my request for information, along with five other similar ones, was sent to the Attorney General’s office for a ruling.

On July 15, I filed an open records request for several items related to events at the Capitol on July 12, the night that the Texas Senate voted on the omnibus abortion bill.

DPS released a statement that day saying that 18 jars of suspected feces and one jar of suspected urine were “discovered” during bag searches. State troopers who were asked by reporters that night said they didn’t know of any excrement – human or otherwise – that was brought under the pink dome.

5. You have to love this headline from the Texas Tribune

This headline from the Texas Tribune makes me smile http://www.texastribune.org/2013/07/30/still-no-evidence-alleged-excrement-abortion-vote/

Evidence of Excrement Remains Elusive

....None of the more than 20 officers interviewed by the Tribune on July 12 at the Capitol were able to confirm seeing material that resembled feces or urine.

In the weeks that have followed, neither DPS nor any other branch of state government has produced evidence supporting the claims that visitors brought urine and feces to the Capitol.

Some activists and lawmakers have suggested the reports were fabricated as an attempt to discredit activists who had come to protest the abortion restrictions bill.

7. Abbott should have to take a Lie Detector test over his #poopgate assertions.

If he gets busted on his falsehood, he should get his poopy mouth washed out with soap. I hope his excrement lie gets brought up during his poopy campaign cuz' so much of what else he talks about should also get flushed.
