Apparently 5 hours of answers and cooperation yesterday.
The definition of 'cooperation' is highly subjective.
There are about 5 different levels of 'answering' at a deposition/sworn interview
1) dig in the heels and flip the bird -- consistently answer 'I do not specifically recall at 'any' non-solid word in the question, or *any* hint of doubt'. The definition of non-cooperative.
2) answer the questions in a highly combative, aggressive manner -- Strzok the other day. Highly evasive and extreme parsing of verbiage.
3) answer the question, and only the question, as briefly as possible. Parsing is present but limited.
4) answer the question asked in an open format without excessive parsing wording.
5) freely answer all questions, and give full background to all related material.
One can label all of 3-5 as 'cooperative'.
Sorry when I listen to the Republican's narrative of the interview, this tells me nothing. It tells me she wasnt combative, and didnt go out of her way to create clipped evasive answers. It does not mean #4 or #5 automatically.
Not trying to dump cold water on how you think she is cooperating, I dont know how much she is cooperating re: to the list above. It could be she is telling them not just answers to their questions, but suggesting avenues they pursue. I would doubt that, though, since I don't think she has any immunity deal (I havent heard of any that is).
Many times when the witness isnt a Strzok level, but answers questions without apparent evasion or parsing, I have heard that as 'cooperative'.
In short: I wouldnt read too much into that description just yet.
