Having just now viewed the actual interview, I’d love to have the “body language lady” view & comment on it. It looked pretty sketchy to me, personally.
I agree, there’s some obvious dissembling going on. He states “Of course the media reported I was there.” Chance to affirm one, not taken.
She then asks him directly, “Did you meet him.” To which he says, “I don’t want to get into details” without saying yes. Chance two to affirm not taken.
Either he is very scared of being subpoenaed under oath, or he’s dissembling public statements because the FBI used him as the touchstone to indict Papadopolous.
There’s something very strange about his dismissiveness.
