True. I guess Stan didn't feel like he had the time to set up something that formal. Plus, he's still not entirely sure of his suspicions so he may have wanted to keep the conversations less formal.

As for Tim: In the Slate podcast (or some interview I read) the Js were cagey when asked why Tim didn't tell Stan about the Jennings being spies. Over on Twitter (I think is where I saw this), Kelly AuCoin dodged the question and said that Tim's non-answer 'was in the script'. Obviously they all want the audience to draw our own conclusion. I think that having Tim avoid saying anything damning about the Jennings was the best of all possible answers. It leaves it all ambiguous which is fabulous (at least to me). It makes the character feel more real to me.
