I have been reading through @simonamangiante's transcript before Congress.
I find one thing very weird. It's just a little thing but she refuses to confirm her age again & again through the interview.

She also ducks confirmation on dates, giving vague answers. It is almost like she is attempting to avoid blowing her cover or cover stories by revealing her real age or real dates of events.
The first exact date she give us is September 2016... THen back to "a few years ago" & "probably 2015" Ducks a question from Swallwell trying to pin her down to 2015 on meeting some Russian. Always saying she'd have to check her CV to confirm any dates.
It is almost like her real date of birth & her real assignment dates to various jobs are all a big secret.
Too bad they didn't ask her if she was Azra Turk...

The other big trend is she keeps ducking naming any Russians or any friends who know Russians (other than Stephan Roh's wife). Again & again Swallwell asks about Mifsud's Russian contacts, all she discusses is Mifsud's contacts in the Italian government!
She also makes sure to get into the record that Mifsud's connections to the Italian Government is what leads her to believe he is a western intelligence asset. And a member of the Clinton Foundation!
Not only does she claim she heard Mifsud brag at an undated socials group meeting in Brussels that he was a Clinton Foundation member. She points Congress to an Italian interview where he denied offering Hillary's emails on the claim that he is a Clintonista!
