That could well be true but you need to think like a lawyer. You may exert control over something without actually owning it. You can fund something without owning it.

It is one of the reasons non-profit orgabisations are so popular. For instance, Soros can create the Open Society Foundation then claim everything they do is not done by him.

My guess is that Victoria Nuland was responding to questions in Congress knowing how the bio-labs system worked but since then, the lawyers got involved and stories were aligned between the US and Ukraine so now they are all singing from the same hymn-sheet and they agree the US does not have bio-labs in Ukraine.

They can say that because the US government does not hold the deeds to the lab properties and neither are government officials in charge of the labs. It is just that certain funding agreements are in place and certain work is underway to justify that financial input.
