In my opinion, if you want to see a textbook example of "flop sweat", you have only to
watch a tape of John Berman interviewing Lt. Chris Olivarez, a "spokesman" for Texas Public Safety.
Berman tried repeatedly to get answers to simple questions only to listen to minutes of nervous, non-responsive gibberish. The officer answered many questions with "We're investigating---we are trying to establish a time line---" without actually saying anything.
An example: Berman---"You say it took so long to get into the classroom because the shooter 'barricaded' himself inside. Did he lock the door? Push furniture against the door? What?" Olivarez---"That's right, he barricaded the door, and---yada, yadda, yada"---REPEATEDLY.
Something is being concealed.
