From Interview of Supervisory Special Agent, Thursday, August 27, 2020, pages 141-142:
Mr. Somers is the Chief Investigative Counsel
Mr. Berger is an attorney with the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association
MR. SOMERS:
Q: Do you know or have any recollection of why the denials of Page knowing Sechin and Diveykin didn't make it into the FISA application?
MR. BERGER: I'll direct him not to answer.
MR. SOMERS: On what grounds?
MR. BERGER: The grounds that we don't have the draft of the FISA application that my client reviewed and he has no reference to determine whether any of that is accurate as a firsthand witness. He has nothing to aid his recollection as to what he actually saw. Therefore, he's unable to answer that question. He does not have enough information available to him to answer that question because he does not have that draft of the FISA application that he actually reviewed.
MR. SOMERS: I don't think that's the question. My question was whether he recalls why Sechin and Diveykin, the denials were not included in the FISA. Either he recalls or he doesn't recall. I don't understand.
MR. BERGER: I'm going to direct him not to answer. He's not in a position where he can even make an affirmative statement that he doesn't recall. He doesn't have enough information available. I'm going to direct him not to answer. He can't answer whether he recalls or not. We're in the ether here.
MR. SOMERS: I don't think we are in the ether here. I can ask him whether he recalls something. Either he recalls it or he doesn't recall it.
MR. BERGER: Look, he's under oath. Even an answer that says I don't recall has to be sincerely given in good faith and that's what he's here to do. He can't give a sincere good faith answer without access to that document.
