There also was a sub layer of sort of people who were angry with President Trump, this Trump derangement syndrome at the CIA that led analysts to downplay things because they thought, well, the president's too angry with China. 
We need to sort of lessen his anger with China by giving him information [clears throat] that wasn't the accurate information. 
So, there's a lot going on at the CIA to protect their I guess their belief that China should not be overly uh criticized for this. 
And I think that was a big mistake.
