It's nonstop incompetence. Shit just going back to the Obama era I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head.

There is such a thing as predatory questions. Members of Congress love using those. They ask a question and demand a yes or no answer despite knowing that the person being interviewed will set up a narrative that will overpower the real explanation. Just an example of a predatory question is: "Hey, do you still beat your wife? Yes or no?" Well for starters, you never did beat your wife. But saying no is admitting that you USED to beat your wife. Saying yes is admitting that you still beat your wife despite never having done so. But in this one instance, I think the amount of predatory questions was at a record low, because the director was actually trying to misdirect and be dishonest.
