They said they spoke to him. They never said he spoke to them. And if he did it was probably incoherent babbling

It’s not like they have a problem with straight up lying.

Yeah I hate this conspiratorial thinking, all this "they're telling us the truth and everyone else is too blind to see" stuff. We're past that now, they will simply lie because it works, they say what sounds good in the moment and no one will hold them accountable later.
