He was an FBI asset before the Bengazi attack, and it’s likely he was dredged up and thrust onto the scene after the Bengazi attack, specifically because they had leverage on him. He could easily be used as a blame recipient.
I think that this latest much-vaunted innocence declaration by him represents him CONTINUING to act as asset;
This latest “cri de coeur” role by him as “wronged party” has the actual objective of distracting from his real role as FBI asset and **part** of the Bengazi coverup:
They offered to go easy on him if he played/plays ball.
It was role-playing and obfuscation before, and it is exactly that NOW also.
