Thanks for this. There is certainly something fishy about these reports IMO. I am NOT defending JR b/c he's been under my radar, along with a couple of others. However, first of all, they don't even have the quote right in this article. They wrote: "We talk privately, we talk privately," said Rosenbaum. That's clearly NOT what he said. He didn't say the exact same thing twice. At least listen to the interview for God's sake. Second of all, we didn't get to hear the question posed to him before he said this. They could have asked about someone else and taken him out of context. It could be purely sensational journalism. I struggle to think that he'd be stupid enough to outright lie about something as blatant as this, if he has never really spoken with them. It's the news. It would be seen by his attorney, who'd surely have a hard time believing him after that, if it weren't true. I'm therefore quite suspicious that his comment was taken out of context.
Another thought I've had is that perhaps JR's attorney has spoken with someone or in some way, JR has relayed messages to the Spierers. This could be what he meant about "private". Who knows? I just think that especially if he is the perp, he wouldn't lie about something so obviously untrue. This of course would bring more suspicious which he certainly doesn't want/need.
