Confirmed Asset, Unknown Handler: The Quiet Case Against a Familiar Face

It is the bookings, ICT investigators say, that gave the operation away.
Taken individually, each guest looks unremarkable—a former official here, an outspoken academic there.

“We spent six months trying to disprove our own findings,” a committee analyst said. “We couldn’t.”
The subject has not been accused of any crime. ICT is careful to note this. What the committee alleges is something subtler—and, in the committee’s view, more dangerous: a sustained, professional, and almost certainly directed effort to shape public perception under the cover of conventional interview programming.
The full statement record is now public.
