My question: Did Sen. Bruce Tarr ask Rossi any questions to which Rossi provided surprising (to B. Tarr) answers?
When an attorney calls a witness, he knows the answers before he asks the questions. The same applies to public hearings where an elected official invests his political capital in calling a witness. It is understandable, perhaps, why Hagelstein didn't act as an attorney or politician, and Rossi was open to give him a surprising answer (even though it was consistent with his other recent statements).
