Telling me the first statement you know he made to investigators does not prove that he never made any contradictory statements.

The investigative report indicates he did make differing statements at different times, although I understand that the pro-pardon folks discount what other agents at the scene say the agents said to them at the time. But discounting the evidence isn't the same as saying there is no evidence.

I will happily concede that I have no first-hand knowledge of ANY of the statements made by the agents. Every statement I have seen are statements reported by other parties to the conversation, either investigators or other agents.

When we see the transcript, that will be the first time I think I'll have seen stuff directly from them and reported as written under controlled conditions. Although I feel relatively confident that investigators are properly reporting what the agents said to them.

I do apologize for my inaccurate statement. They are not saying they "saw weapons", that was an unfortunate shorthand, they are saying that they saw something that they thought could be a weapon.

BTW, your assertion that March 18 was the first time he was questioned about the incident is not accurate, as the record shows several people questioned him about aspects of the incident on the day of the incident, especially about the wound he had received.

Then I think you are foolish. This is the same group that lied to congress about them wanting "to shoot mexicans."

So, you're admitting he was questioned by superiors about the gun? Remember, that is the subject here--the gun (since you alleged he has changed his statement about that). Now, if you admit that, then you'll also have to admit that he did indeed tell the supervisor about the gun. Or, do you consider the hearsay he-said she-said casual conversations between co-workers "being questioned" (the phrase I used). I certainly don't. March 18 was the first time, to my knowledge, that he was questioned by any official or superior about the shooting. (Actually, it was after midnight so it was March 19--since these kind government officials decided to arrest him at midnight on a Friday night.)
