29. Afraid of the lawsuits and angry his name and his donors names will be on them

The wrongful death lawsuits associated with this should bankrupt a lot of politicians in Texas if there is any justice.

Lily white camp full of white girls just might get justice rather than "just us" that some other members of the community might get from a jury.

Abbott is an asshole. But he was likely following the advice of his lawyers to refuse to assign blame before the lawsuits are filed. Of course, the lawyers probably didn't tell him to do it in the most despicable, arrogant way that won't play well with a jury. "It's far too early for that. We will conduct a root means analysis after a full investigation." That's what his lawyers would have preferred and it at least would have made him look human rather than some cartoon villain.
