He redefined the word "is" for us so let me redefine "honestly".

No, he insisted that the person questioning him define what he meant
by his question, and then answered the precise question asked. Which
is what anybody with two brain-cells to rub together would do in that
situation -- say as little as you can possibly get away with.

No, he twisted the question so as to avoid answering the clear
intent of the original question. Which is what a dishonest person
with two braincells to rub together would do when they wanted to avoid
telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Which is what a trained lawyer *should* be doing in that situation.
If the questioner wasn't satisfied with the answer, he can try again.
If he *is* satisfied, then that's his decision.
