I don't think Wuhan labs started the virus, but I'd point out that the job of spy agencies is to lie and manipulate the public. Trump's a liar but so are the spooks. Trump is transparently attempting to pin the blame on a foreign power so that way he isn't blamed for the epidemic in the US. Essentially, who is blamed will determine the 2020 election. One read no further than that to understand his motivations.

- geomark 7y ago"I'd point out that the job of spy agencies is to lie and manipulate the public." The spy agencies have a number of jobs. The obvious one is to spy (not just on foreign powers, but on everybody, as we now know without a doubt). Lying to and manipulating the public is another big job. And they have other more heinous jobs (torture, assassinations, etc). To do their jobs requires constant obfuscation. So why on earth does anyone ever give any credence to anything a spook says?
