She states on the “3 reports” though.

So out of the 10 reports they had, it just so happens that “only these three” had no public money?

Sorry. Can’t believe that.

They will do some creative accounting to make it look this way. That’s all.

“…no PUBLIC money was spent on the recalled reports.â

No, it was SOMEONE ELSE’S money they took.

If it was “public” money, and “enough” of it, the reports may have been somewhat more credible.

The KEY words are:
“no public money was spent on the recalled reports.â

I read that as, “Yeah we took money, but none of it went on those particular 3 reports which were frauds”.

Seems like a play on words and a run-around to me.

They didn’t say they took no money. if they took NONE they would have stated so. But they are playing word games in my opinion.
