Maybe they were, or maybe they weren't, either way they continue to prosecute the good fight. And I am thankful for that.

The CIA told them the information was no good. So there was no "good faith belief." They sourced it to the British for this reason. That shows an intent to mislead. This has nothing to do with being firm, or worrying about polls.
