“If the WHOLE truth came out it would be, in my opinion, very, very embarrassing for the US government.”
I think it is a lot worse than embarrassing—because criminal activities are ongoing.
Yes—I said criminal.
The coverup is to hide the guilty.
Very much so.
If there is anything that is going to keep "disclosure" from happening, it is this.
Someone once told me that disclosure won't happen unless every former President is dead and a new one has yet to be sworn in. I thought he was kidding at the time. Now, not so much.
I used to think some Presidents were not read into the program at all. Now, I'm pretty sure all Presidents have some knowledge of the program...how much and how deep depends on their background. George Bush Senior was former CIA so he knew it all and I can assume his son was well informed. Carter, being a Navy man, probably knew more than Clinton or Obama. Trump was likely told little.
