jeopardizing anti-terror enforcement in the attempt to make political hay:
After Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (http://www.texastribune.org/directory/greg-abbott/) released details on Thursday about the arrest of a terror suspect in Texas, federal prosecutors in Houston quickly moved to unseal the charges in the case and hastily put together a statement of their own.
But Abbott's spokesman said Friday the governor did not know that information in the case was still secret when his office commented on the arrest.
Reuters news service, quoting three unidentified sources, reported Friday (http://www.reuters.com/article/2016/01/08/us-usa-security-arrests-texasdisclosures-idUSKBN0UM25Y20160108)that the governor and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (http://www.texastribune.org/directory/dan-patrick/) issued statements prematurely, including information from the unsealed indictment (http://www.justice.gov/usao-sdtx/file/811701/download), jeopardizing investigators who were still questioning witnesses in the case.
