Very interesting. The sources are all at langley no doubt so who the hell knows what the truth is. The tenor of the conversation could also be very different... I could see a call going like "we are going to get him, and if you don't work with us you're next" or something like that.

We will never know. Definitely the case it seems that the admin favors Rodriguez just based on the commentary post raid (before rodriguez's speech) and the hilarious and sudden friend zoning of Machado. Like Epstein this one gets filed away in the black marble mazes of state secrets.
