Government Operations committee  Yes. That's actually part of it, along with the conversations we had. Apparently, there are hundreds of them taped. A lot of those conversations were, again, speculative and/or hypothetical, based on where the government is and where Botler was and where they would want to go—

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  That's correct.

Government Operations committee  No. I'd actually discussed the opportunity of being part of the company when we first met with Botler, and that was not an option. Again, the $12,000 invoice was literally to address the extra work they were asking me to do.

Government Operations committee  Sure. We could go right into what the architecture is and how Botler could map what the federal government might be looking at doing. The federal government is looking at a data strategy and a data artificial intelligence strategy. Botler is an AI company, so what would the scenarios be, if you were in hypotheticals, of what the federal government might standardize?

Government Operations committee  I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question.

Government Operations committee  I apologize, but I don't understand the question. Are you asking me if I or if Botler inflated their knowledge?

Government Operations committee  I can't comment on GC Strategies, because I don't know. He conducts his own business

Government Operations committee  Absolutely.

Government Operations committee  The work that I provided for them was not specific to this.

Government Operations committee  No.

Government Operations committee  Absolutely not.

Government Operations committee  Absolutely not. They asked me to draft a document. I was actually contracted by them to draft a document.

Government Operations committee  That's correct.

Government Operations committee  Sure. I was contacted in February last year by a law firm, and that law firm asked for significant pieces of information. We were in discussions, if you will, of whether they were in the scope of the contract, or not, that I signed with Botler. I said I would go and do that work if they paid me for the time I sat on meetings for Botler—not for the federal government, but meetings that I sat on for Botler.
