A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as they outline the backstory to the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza.
During a segment (prompted below) Witkoff and Kushner are outlining the step-by-step process as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt. Witkoff reveals how the CIA was briefing them both, multiple times a day, and the briefing itself was exactly the opposite of what Emir of Qatar and Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. The CIA intelligence was the exact opposite of reality. WATCH: [video at source]
What they are describing is EXACTLY why we outlined how ‘outside govt’ emissaries were/are vitally necessary to work around the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This small example is stunning in magnitude when considered around the importance of the moment.
On a positive note, with Witkoff making this stunning public statement, we can now add a major datapoint to President Trump’s reference of NOT TRUSTING the CIA. Combined with the previous assertions of Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard on essentially the same level of outlook, this example of the CIA getting it wrong (misleading the administration) has long-range ramifications beyond the Hamas example.
With this backdrop for reference, surely now we can have an optimistic sense that President Trump doesn’t trust the CIA intelligence on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Not Shocked.
Still going rogue. Or is it rouge. 😊👍
Hard to imagine how difficult a President’s job is when he can’t trust his own intelligence forces.
The CIA is a joke. It no longer practices “situational awareness”. Americans, not the world’s “bad guys” are now their primary targets.
Deep Staters gotta Depp State.................
Was it because of treachery or just being dumbasses?
The big take here is that not trusting the CIA is no public policy. News will follow.
TLDR: Witkoff and Kushner believed the Taqiyya liars over the CIA liars.
Bit by all means, don’t release any Epstein information, rt freepers?
Not surprised, but its way, way, way to early for Witkoff and Kushner to be doing victory lap interviews.

Skip CTH completely.
Hamas will not stop the terrorism. They will pause to restock and rearm.
Stop their paychecks, let them keep the red stapler. Lock them in.
Recall the Church Committee circa 1975?
IIRC, Ratcliffe has proven to be compromised in the past.
Wasn’t he the one who was texting classified info to someone while he was sitting in a meeting? (And Trump kept him in his position.)
In 1943, FDR decided that unconditional surrender was essential to bring the Germans and Japanese into line.
It’s not a rattlesnake even though it has the tail, fangs, head, and coloration of a rattlesnake.
