The 115th Congress-Washington 2017

Committee Floor

Darnell leaned in,

“Miss Jones, you stated previously that you ‘believe they were working for political groups or actors’, what inclines you to believe this?”

"The way they tried to bring me in on the operation, it was all set up in a very calculated and political fashion, in my opinion. It had clear undertones in that way."

"Did you accept any form of payment?"

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Brankers: "Do you have any concrete evidence?"

She smiles. "I have a name. Teri Barnett."

Brankers inquired further

"And what did this Mr. Barnett do?"

"Did you accept any form of payment?"

"No, I didn't, but it was offered."

[Tallahassee News Station]

She smiles. "I have a name. Teri Barnett."

Brankers inquired further

"And what did this Mr. Barnett do?"

"She wanted my help to "corroborate" a story about Dr. Rossi's supposed racist slurs, serve as a "witness" for them."

Senator Wilson: "How much were you offered in regards to the proposal that you corroborate this story about Doctor Rossi, and do you know where she got this money?'

Senator Wilson: "How much were you offered in regards to the proposal that you corroborate this story about Doctor Rossi, and do you know where she got this money?'

"She was intentionally vague, probably in case she got exposed like she did here. I was told there were people with "deep pockets" behind this, and we all know there's a lot of money going around in politics."

"She was intentionally vague, probably in case she got exposed like she did here. I was told there were people with "deep pockets" behind this, and we all know there's a lot of money going around in politics."

"Is there something else important that she mentioned?"

"She was intentionally vague, probably in case she got exposed like she did here. I was told there were people with "deep pockets" behind this, and we all know there's a lot of money going around in politics."

Senator Wilson: "What words did she use to describe the sum of money you were offered, and did you have any idea who the 'deep pockets' were?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"She was intentionally vague, probably in case she got exposed like she did here. I was told there were people with "deep pockets" behind this, and we all know there's a lot of money going around in politics."

"Is there something else important that she mentioned?"

"You'll have to clarify Sir"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"She was intentionally vague, probably in case she got exposed like she did here. I was told there were people with "deep pockets" behind this, and we all know there's a lot of money going around in politics."

Senator Wilson: "What words did she use to describe the sum of money you were offered, and did you have any idea who the 'deep pockets' were?"

"There were plenty of terms. I would be "well taken care of", "generously compensated", those kinds of expressions. I don't know who the deep pockets were, but now that I've given the name, I'm sure the committee can track them down."

"She was intentionally vague, probably in case she got exposed like she did here. I was told there were people with "deep pockets" behind this, and we all know there's a lot of money going around in politics."

"Do you have any proof you were approached? Recordings, phone records, emails, witnesses? Anything that could prove your story?"

"Do you have any proof you were approached? Recordings, phone records, emails, witnesses? Anything that could prove your story?"

"I have the phone call logged, and I'm not the only one who was contacted."

[Dentali]

"Do you have any proof you were approached? Recordings, phone records, emails, witnesses? Anything that could prove your story?"

"I have the phone call logged, and I'm not the only one who was contacted."

"I think now would be a good time to tell us the entirety of the story. From the time you were contacted until now."

[Tallahassee News Station]

"I have the phone call logged, and I'm not the only one who was contacted."

"I think now would be a good time to tell us the entirety of the story. From the time you were contacted until now."

"I was contacted only a few days before the allegations went public. They wanted me to back their story, and they made very lucrative offers to bring me in on it, but I knew it was a lie. I refused to be a part of it, and I was threatened for it, they made threats against me if I was to spill on this story, and they truly scared me. I didn't realize how big it was until the story broke and the hearing on that Friday, and by then I knew I needed to come forward, no matter the consequences because it was the right thing to do. William and Joanna, they must have been contacted too and they must have accepted, because the story they told was fake. I had a hunch and reconnected with some of the other old members of the archery team, and they had been contacted and threatened in the same way, but I told them how important it was that we do the right thing and come forward. I came out to expose this, we all saw that on the news, and now I'm here."

"If we have other members of the archery team testify will they confirm your story?"

"If we have other members of the archery team testify will they confirm your story?"

"I assume William and Joanna won't. They took the offer after all, and have already lied publicly about all of this. Maybe they will change their tune under oath, I hope they'll do the right thing."

"Do you have any proof they took the offer? That they werent threatened as you claim?"

"Do you have any proof they took the offer? That they werent threatened as you claim?"

"No, it's possible that they did this under duress. I can't say for sure. But from what I know of them it wouldn't take much to get them to say whatever someone wanted"

[Dentali]

"No, it's possible that they did this under duress. I can't say for sure. But from what I know of them it wouldn't take much to get them to say whatever someone wanted"

"How well do you know them? Why do you say it wouldn't take much?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"No, it's possible that they did this under duress. I can't say for sure. But from what I know of them it wouldn't take much to get them to say whatever someone wanted"

"How well do you know them? Why do you say it wouldn't take much?"

"I knew them from our days at Harvard, on the archery team, and neither of them were what I would call "upstanding citizens". There's a difference between having some fun in college and being a little rebellious and just having no respect or care for others. Cheating on tests, bullying...neither of them were nice people."

Senator Wilson: "Mrs. Jones, could you specify on the type of threats you received, and do you have any records of these threats, and can you provide us with any names of other members of the archery team who were given similar offers and threats?"

Senator Wilson: "Mrs. Jones, could you specify on the type of threats you received, and do you have any records of these threats, and can you provide us with any names of other members of the archery team who were given similar offers and threats?"

"The threats started vague, but then went right to the physical. I was most terrified when she actually showed up to my house and warned me of the consequences if I didn't fall in line. I know that Anthony Velacruz and Sophia Lorenz also were made offers and then threatened."

"I spoke to them, like I said, and I have those calls logged, like I said"

[The Orion Islands]

Senator Wilson: "Do you have audio or video for any of these threats, and can you produce for us the call logs you claim document your proof?"
