to catch up to the bus":

San Marcos Police said it received a call from the Biden-Harris bus requesting a police escort as they traveled through the city. However, when officers responded, they weren’t able to catch up with the bus before it got out of their jurisdiction because of traffic.

In a follow-up email to KXAN on Monday, spokesperson Kristy Stark said there was an unrelated car crass on IH35 that forced traffic to a halt. She says that impaired the officers’ ability “to reach the bus which never stopped traveling on IH35 as it went through San Marcos.”

Now it turns out that they simply refused to respond. How are they not held responsible for lying to FBI?
