I got angry at how easily Richard/Alex was convinced to change every. single. sentence. of his original affidavit to exactly what the interrogators wanted him to say. Why he wanted to appease them so much is lost on me. He even said that he had "studied criminal justice" in "college" and yet still didn't request a lawyer. Shouldn't Project Veritas have prepared him for this sort of encounter from the Postal IG? Richard/Alex even said that PV TOLD HIM NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT TO ANYONE UNLESS THEY VETTED THEM FOR HIM FIRST SO WHAT THE FUCK
The guy doesn't strike me as very smart to begin with and than they honey-potted him pretending to be on his side (which of course is a lie) in order to get him to agree to their changes. It's funny they were probably expecting this guy, since he went to Veritas, to be a little more informed and resistant and that's why they came in so tough in the beginning to scare him, you can even tell the exact moment where both interrogators just start laughing to each other after realizing hey this guys is a dumbass, that doesn't know shiet, and will basically agree with anything we say as long as we pretend we're trying to help him and joke about being old. For once, I just would've loved to see him resist even a little bit, it would've been funny seeing the change in tone from good cop to bad cop.
This is why you hire a lawyer who can prep you before the interview and can interject when you are digging yourself into a hole without realizing it, even very smart people can be made to look incredibly stupid in front of these professional interrogators if they are not prepared.
