it s all pretext. the human rights campaign was conducting an independent investigation. austin was hired to do an investigation. that s what they announced in august. right. what they re saying now is it s a board plan investigation. is it an investigation being conducted by sidely? or is it an investigation being conducted by the board? i never spoke to the board. you spoke to them for10 hours. for 10 hours and provided them with information. now the board refuses to release the findings. the board told the public that they would be transparent in their findings and now today they re saying there is no report. they re failing to disclose what the findings of the report are because i engaged in no wrong doing. did they tell you what was in the report? no. so they didn t tell you anything about what their findings were or are? no. i received the phone call at 9:45 where i participated in the
