Exactly!
I had already seen that article; and others.
I also saw the original interview.
A refusal to confirm is not a confirmation of intention.
He was dumb not to come straight out and say what he knew all along - that he would never be able to carry that one off, even if he wanted to.
And unlike the journos, I didn't see anything in his response that suggested that he had any such intention in the first place.
Chris Dawson? Maybe.
He's a copper and they've never been squeamish about trampling on civil rights.
