Agreed. I think he must have been pushed on it.
How does one trust the top spook?
Right, it was the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party (which is what we used to call RINOs back then).
They didn’t like Reagan any more than today’s Republican leadership likes Trump.
I really think the leadership and politicians consider we the people to be their enemies. If someone comes along that is truly popular, the leadership sees that as a huge threat.
They used Bush to try and control Reagan just the way they used all that impeachment nonsense to hogtie Trump.
