That’s what I thought at first. But in thinking about it, what a great way to protect himself from the Clinton’s. Go public and send the message to them that you aren’t and won’t give anything up. That you aren’t the one giving the NE information. Several times he said he was doing the interview and coming out to protect the identity of his contacts, which is his only intention.
Occam’s razor: Maybe they got to him before the interview.
He is still trying to "fix" things for the Clintons. When confronted with the National Enquirer material he got some names removed. That's what he does - coverups.
He was still doing his work on Hannity.
