quote, my recollection is i ve spoken to mr. singer on no more than a handful of occasions. all of this during a fishing trip 15 years ago consisted of brief and casual comments at events attended by large groups, end quote. let s continue. on no occasion have we discussed the activities of his business and have never talked about a case at issue before the court, end quote. joining us now is josh kaplan. thank you for being with us. i want to get down to the bottom of this because alito is claiming he s got very peripheral tangental relationship with singer, but there was stuff happening with singer in 2006 and the argentinean government and this was still going on when this fishing trip went on. how did alito get on this fishing trip? yeah, it s a really interesting question because one
