The excuse for not answering a question is "it's an ongoing investigation"

[rongway]

Another prime example of this administration’s transparency. Everything is an “active investigation” with this clown show. We need more candid conversations from our government. Enough with the gaslighting!

[John-jlde]

If you have no answers, don't hold a press conference.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENSURE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENSURE..

[sslcfc]

A lot more of "I know nothing" going on here.

[richardthorp]

The whistleblower has freedom under the United States Constitution.
