They explicitly said to not discuss the NDA until it had expired. If someone asked me before it expired I would legally have to do the “neither confirm or deny”. If someone had asked me if something was in it, I would have to “neither confirm nor deny”.
You could have asked me if my NDA was relevant to Jesus living in the center of the moon with Freddie Mercury. Or if one of the NDA said the sun rises everyday. My answer would legally need to be the same. Literally any question about an active NDA, the answer is the same.
What I could not do is say things are not in it, and when something was then change my answer.
But hey, I don’t know you bro.
Maybe youve got more experience than me with this stuff.
How many decades have you had a clearance and when’s the last government NDA you had expire?
It’s usually not illegal to say you’re under an NDA.
It wouldn’t be a NDA for the government…
The only time the government needs an NDA is if the information is unclassified.
Do you think an alien spacecraft crashed, this guy investigated it, but it’s unclassified?
I’m just saying the document may not specify that it is illegal to discuss the existence of the document.
And I’m saying that it would.
I’ve had government NDAs.

You don’t think it would be different if you’re testifying to congress?
No I don’t think that, I know that…
But this clearly isn’t going to become productive
