Intel ops. Nobody knows for sure. White hats will lie to achieve objectives. I expect that. Do you expect to be told the exact top secret stuff they are doing in public comms, seen by everyone including the enemy?

I suspect this is about sowing chaos and finding opportunity in chaos. I don't cling on to their every word (even Trump's) like every word is the truth. Step back and feel the big picture. This is war and I expect an intel war.

Given available public data, it is not possible to bet your life on Barr's allegiance, whether he is totally good or totally bad or coerced good or coerced bad.
