God damn. I thought when a medium used a term like "senior Defense Department official" that it was an anonymized source. No. There's a fucking transcript and everything. Here's the first page and the link to the full briefing ON THE DoD WEBSITE! And it sounds like—“Good afternoon everybody”—that it’s an in-person briefing and that every professional pencil present knows who the hell it is, like there’s an actual guy named “Senior Defense Official”. WFT lol.
