Anytime the govt gets pressured they just say “uh the sources are classified and we can’t release too much info otherwise we’ll jeopardize their safety.” That’s all they need to say and everyone else nods along.
It's a brilliant ploy too - if the Russians do post the (alleged) Alex Jones crisis actor video (or whatever the CIA claim as such) they can say they were two steps ahead of the devious ruskies, and if they don't release the faked video they can them claim that it was all thanks to their pre-emptive leak of "the intelligence"; it's win-win no matter what!
He all but spells this out in the video. When the journalist keeps pressing him for evidence, he goes into, this is why we're doing this, if they release a video we'll have discredited it already, if they don't, then we'll look like we deterred them, and goes on like, "You don't seem to understand the idea of deterrence." If you read between the lines, he's really giving the game away: the announcement is motivated by strategic reasons, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.
It's a pretty obvious tell, trying to fall back onto the reasoning used to justify the lie and even trying to push the journalist to agree that that justification makes it ok. Idk where they're getting feds these days but this guy's a real amateur. Too much of a conscience tbh, press him a little and the justifications just start pouring out, cause he wants sleep at night. Hopefully we see more of him (especially with that reporter) but if anybody has a brain they'll give his job to a sociopath soon enough.
Absolute king.
