It will be VERY interesting to see what Gottlieb told authorities.
Did Gottlieb throw his friends overboard and minimize or deny his participation?
It's feasible that a SUPVR (Gottlieb) tells the other officers to keep their mouths shut, Deny and obfuscate. I can't be sure, I didn't see, I can't recall, It happened so fast. I didn't know what was happening.
So, why the other guys are obfuscating and playing dumb, did Gottlieb put the Knife in their Back?
So, if you have statements where people are claiming innocence and playing dumb, and then one statement provides the bulk of the details used to determine what happened? If that one statement (other than the Cook), was from
Gottlieb - you'd have exactly what we have today.
Gottlieb has far more experience than all of them, and he had the highest ranking, and conceivably was more experienced with strategy and Politics. He certainly has more trial experience.

Maybe Gottlieb talked them into taking the fall in exchange for some nice paying off-duty security jobs.
