It's possible this is just meaningless noise aimed at the Senate primary. I mean the FBI will "help look" for them. Everyone knows where they are.

Interesting backstory if not familiar w TX politics from awhile ago. Cornyn started out as a circuit court judge, ended up on the TX Supreme Court and as TX AG.

They’ve engaged the surveillance state in what is absolutely not an ongoing criminal investigation. It will not be subject to the same protections from public information request criminal prosecutions and investigations are.

Cool under what CRIMINAL charges? Texas only has civil warrants out for them to report to the Legislature, not to jail. This is a stunt, the FBI has no power or jurisdiction to bring them back to TX.
