motto out in langley, you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free. gina haspel had a good day yesterday telling all those senators the truth as the cia knows it. not about about policy, not about what to do about it, just here is what happened. and wow, what impact. so the shocking thing about this to me and to others, i believe, is when jim mattis says there s no smoking gun, when both men, secretary pompeo and secretary mattis know what the cia provides, they provide an assessment. it s not a homicide investigation, per se, where they say david ignatius committed the crime. talk about what the cia provides. so what the cia provided was detailed evidence, as i understand it, of the conversations that mohammed bin salman had with his key lieutenant about what was taking place in istanbul and conversations from is tan bull
