I know that, but it's proof Askew wasn't living in the same dimension as the rest of us. He didn't just make that claim, he made it to the FBI, right before he killed him.
I also heard something last night about how he had wanted Davis to sign a paper stating that, if anything were to happen to him, Askew was to be "council designee" in his place. Now that's just plain illegal, but it also shows Askew wasn't operating in the real world anymore.
I can't tell yet if Askew was obsessed with wanting to be Davis, or just plain obsessed with Davis.
