#4 Baradar has had a history of intermittent discussions with the CIA. The CIA was instrumental in getting him released from US custody in 2018 (yes, under Trump).

Burns is a deep State guy. He was a career diplomat for many years then a deputy Sec of State under Obama, and Pres of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace before becoming chief of the CIA.

#7 You want the administration (CIA) plan, here's the plan. After the end of the month, everything in AFG will go dark, very dark. That's the plan.

No more cellie calls or media bits from AFG? Everything must be fine.
