The FBI says Kevin Lyons was "evasive" at first about being inside the Capitol. Then, when agents showed him an Instagram pic he'd taken & posted of Nancy Pelosi's office, he caved.
"Wow, you're pretty good," he said. "That was only up for an hour."

If you listened to my podcast, questions of “who owns the story?” and “what are the ethics of partnering/negotiating with sources?” come up in the final episode. I’m still of the mind that paying a source compromises the story.

The director did reach out to me for reporting guidance (which I gave to her) and hinted at the possibility of interviewing me for the doc. But she never followed up after that. Meanwhile, I’ve received multiple pitch emails from CNN’s PR team to “cover” the doc. But anyway

What feels shady to me, based on the doc trailer, is 1) Their angle is similar to mine 2) They interviewed a lot of the same sources from my pod...

I recognize that the story of HQ Trivia is not necessarily mine to tell. It’s that of the people involved. FWIW, two former high-up HQ employees are co-executive producers on the doc.
