he could have been trying to slow down or confuse the investigation with the goal of getting a pardon from trumpft. He could have arrogantly thought that Muellers team didn't have all the information that they have.

As for puting, I would bet that he doesn't care. He is sitting back laughing at the drama.

Liars lie, it's what they do.

It's madness. I can't prove it, but I know that they are all as guilty as sin.
