If true (and lying in this case would be high-risk), then there probably isn't much of interest on the phone. Otherwise, they'd be busy with leads from the phone. Not telling Mr. Perp's shady associates to expect a knock on the door soon.
- quantified 2y agoWhy can't they also be busy with leads and just tight-lipped?

- bell-cot 2y agoLikely true. But a "lone kidiot" narrative would be near-useless for meeting a whole lot of burning psychological, political, institutional, and financial needs. And emotionally-charged belief in counterfactuals is "normal" behavior in modern America.
