98 so said this, so and so said this, right? And what I want to make sure is that we're not putting words in your mouth, that we're not mischaracterizing you. And sometimes it's hard because there's a lot of color added to the answers. So when we try to drill down, it's because we don't want there to be confusion in terms of what your position is.

And what I want to make sure, because I'm looking at the exhibit in 12, and I'm looking at the exhibit in 22, and what I see in 22 is a text conversation. And I'm sorry, my eyes are terrible, but it looks like it's between Stephen Brown and somebody named Ali Akbar, who has your picture on it, who's talking about rooms at the JW Marriott that you've admitted that you stayed at—

Uh-huh.

—with individuals who are in your room block with a personal security detail, a term that you used, presuming that this is you in this text, with the layers that you've described, with an individual that you hired.

And your position is that that's not me on the text and I don't remember this email and I didn't tell Stephen Brown to send this.

I'm just—that's where I'm—that's what I'm taking away. And I want to make sure that I understand that that's what you're saying. And if I'm wrong, I want you to correct me.

I'd like to refer you to my previous answer.

But here's the thing. If your previous answer wasn't clear, I have the right to ask you to clarify, which is not "asked and answered," it's a clarification. So if what I just said is wrong, I'd like you to correct me.

Mr. Kamenar. Well, excuse me. What you said, asked what was wrong, you had three or four, five things in there. So if you could go—

. Sure.
