and he gives a big time interview that's equally contrite where he answers "tough" questions that cover most of the same stuff covered in the statement then he can reach a point where lobbing more questions at him makes the journalists into bullies. Also he would need his wife next to him at some point so the questioning can be said to be hurtful to his family.

But this assumes his initial statements are contrite. That he owned responsibility for the rape (or the victim's experience during and after the sex that she said wasn't consensual). This could be done but it's tough now bc Nate shat the bed.
