It would not surprise me if your thoughts about the tip was true.
Betrayus had already served his purpose by spouting the video lies,
or worse, created the lies from the CIA that the other Obama hacks used.
The Chicago athugs had leverage over Betrayus. Once he served his purpose, the “tip” suddenly came out and Betrayus then became the disgraced fall guy.
It sounds like there was a covert CIA operation going on and they had ‘detained’ several local militia/militants at the annex.
It’s possible that he repeated the video story to try to keep a lid on the fact that they were arresting & questioning militants in a foreign country.
