Why are you rejecting the public statement issued, with people like you in mind, of Pollard’s own boss at Naval Intelligence at the time of his crimes?
I learned a long time ago, that officials who are in certain government positions can LIE to maintain a “government narrative”. And it’s been contradicted by others that know in regards to Pollard. There are those who will LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH in order to maintain a FALSE NARRATIVE of an agency or of the government.
When one has these kinds of people mixed in with others who tell the truth (and many times they can’t tell the truth until they get out of government) — one will have to recognize the LIARS from the others.
