Yes, because everybody knows if you want to get to the bottom of something, you should get your facts from the father-in-law of the convicted felon.
The point was, the specific situation he was talking about (in regard to the filing a report) is unclear, and it may be that the supervisors were the ones who were supposed to file the report. Not stating that as a fact, just saying there is conflicting info about that.
Besides, if you're getting your "facts" from the other side, they have already proven to be untrustworthy. Did you miss that little bit about them lying to congress? But hey, if you'd rather believe them, and other crooks, then be my guest.
