I'm trying to keep an open mind but you're telling me i'm supposed to trust the CIA?
Think about it this way: the CIA discovered information that they believed to be true and chose to not share it whatsoever because wouldn't fit their narrative instead of, say, finding ways to discredit or disprove said information.
When judging trustworthiness you need to think whether it advances their agenda or whether it's against their best interest. If the people trying to destroy you believe you're democratic even when publicly saying otherwise, that has to count for something
Intelligence services like the CIA produce two types of info: disinformation (for public dissemination and propaganda), and correct information (usually for internal consumption only, but also occasionally for the public).
This is a declassified internal memo.
Tbf it's declassified.
