You’re giving those reporters waay too much credit for being clever. They couldn’t even get the timeline right after she explained it to them.
No, I’m not giving them too much credit. There were a bunch of reporters in the room. There might actually be ONE smart one there. And she was vague on the time line at first, they had to ask several questions to get it right. I seem to remember one lone, female voice in the background making an issue of the “two weeks ago” thing. Might be wrong but that sounded like one person to me.
