Good point. Given his previous position(s), I’m thinking he knew the agents that he spoke with or, at least, made a phone call to see what they were all about. Got the thumbs up and said, Sure, I’ll talk to them. We’re all here to protect the good Ol’ US of A. Not get okey-doked and end up getting indicted.
I listen to Dan Bongino a lot, and he walked through it...given his past job with the Obama Adminstration as the Director of DIA, he knew his phone calls with foreign officials were always monitored and surely knew in his new job with the Trump Administration they would be as well.
So he knew they would have a transcript. Why would he lie?
The truth is, he didn’t lie, they didn’t think he lied, and there was nothing to lie about.
The dirty rat bastiges probably went through the transcript of his call until they found something he made a mistake on or mis-remembered.
Scum.
