1. Thought I saw a statement from his office

That he "answered all questions."

It was a grand jury, so we won't know the substance of his answers, right? First thing I thought is I could see him categorizing asserting his 5th to be answering the question.

2. I'll bet he took a page out of the Alberto Gonzalez playbook: "I don't recall."

3. Or did he do the opposite and completely throw Trump under the bus

He could emerge as a hero to the RNC if he did, since they are now trying desperately to untangle themselves from Trump.

It seems to mostly be self-preservation and attention. It wouldn't surprise me if he has a few skeletons in his closet.

14. Yep. Especially if it relates to his rumored sexual orientation

Although I don't think people would care as much as he thinks they would. And if true, it's sad that in 2022 the fear of getting outed would cause someone to protect Trump.

But I bet afterwards he questioned the life path he took that got him there. Too fucking bad, Lindsey.

11. I heard he answered all questions which is just disengeuous and vague.

This means nothing, "answered" could mean anything from lying through his teeth, to the taking the fifth, to "I don't recall".
