Limited hangout from the MI6/CIA crew, since Hersch has exposed them, but they don’t want to admit it. They consider themselves to be “pro-Ukraine”, but are still deflecting as if some other group that they want to portray as somehow sympathetic did it.
Hersch has not implicated the CIA, but the USN.
Secret squirrel stuff needs to be disclosed to a Congressional (or Senate?) committee, but Naval operations don’t, was Hersch’s point.
But if it was a third party Ukrainian-led or Ukrainian-identified group, they could have been funded in any number of ways, possibly through a Euro country.
Thanks for the answer. Makes sense
This is dangerous stuff...
