It's interesting (and a bit disturbing) to see our public agencies embroiled in domestic and international political struggles.
Personally I have no means to determine veracity and don't have a reason to believe anyone who says anything at this juncture. Here's what I do know: there is a lot of money and power at stake and a number of interested parties who would like to sway public opinion, in the US, KSA and internationally.
I believe Trump has had some run ins with the CIA, and them giving him a black eye politically could be a motive. Trump probably has to play nice with KSA, there isn't a practical economic way around that at the moment. MBS also has made a lot of enemies in KSA, many of whom no doubt have incredible means and connections. But really no way to tell what the truth might be. Not sure it matters for me personally other than a disgusted headshake at all involved parties.
- resters 8y agoExcellent points. I agree. I think one thing that is very clear is that the CIA should not under any circumstances be acting to promote domestic PR about political events. That is out of scope and was until a few years ago illegal.
