I’m a few days late on this, but it’s worth pointing out that
any competent investigator or interrogator interviews subjects or sources separately
and apart, and schedules interviews so respondents don’t have time to compare
notes and learn to repeat one another’s lies, deceptions and distortions. The time tested technique is to get each
person to commit to his or her story, and then come back at them later with the
inconsistencies between answers, particularly when the truth is unknown and
there has already been an effort to deceive.
That’s how to drill down to reality.
So, was the Hillary and Barack interview, joint at their
insistence and limited to a half hour, really about showing their love and
mutual respect? Not in the least. It was about washing and cleansing themselves
of a spotty record and, more importantly, a scandal in a forum where Steve Kroft had absolutely zero chance to get at
the truth. The "state run media" interview was
theater. There was no truth seeking – not in
Washington.
We didn’t know what happened leading up to, during or after the administration’s whitewashing of the events in Benghazi. We still don’t know. And we never will.
