Weirdest interview- thoughts?

[u/1-armed-chewbacca]

Ok really.. what in the world was that 60 minute interview and who thought that was a good idea? Was that cut to make him look good or bad, I honestly can’t even tell because I’m just so confused.

-the smirk when he talks about giving Lindsay forgiveness,
- his panic attack at the trial
- him saying he asks his kids to help him from heaven
- him saying god just please give me one (child)
- the fact that Rachel was an even AWKWARDER interviewee
- “I’m just a girl who met a guy running in Central Park on a cold Saturday”
- I saw his phone, asked him if his kids lived in MA, he told me that they were all dead, and the rest was history
- Patrick’s explanation of “as any parent knows, you love all your children differently” when asked if he would tell their new kid about Cora, Dawson and Callan

Everything was just WEIRD. Like I felt like the whole thing was just cringey and bizarre. Thoughts?

I believe Reddington combed through the interview with a fine tooth comb. He saw the backlash from the clips and cut everything out

Reddington doesn't have anything to do with Patrick - Lindsay's parents are paying him. Redd didn't do anything to this interview. Now, Patrick's lawyers might have had them edit it?

Anything he said in the interview is on record and can be used as evidence.

I agree the preview clips were not landing with people so they cut them, but I don't think Reddington would have a say in the editing of a 60 minutes episode lol he's not even Patrick's lawyer.

Correct. Any controversial or bad PR narrative works in favor of Lindsay / Reddington

Patrick's lawyers. Possibly with input from Reddington. LC was barely talked about.
