Please keep in mind that a certain dynastic presidential family of renound importance at the time had pretty tight ties to both the CIA, and Saudi intelligence, and OMFG they were knee deep in Iran-Contra too? Isn't that so weird?
But again, what they told you is "corrupt bank taking depositor money" and that's what the politicians railed away against on TV.
That's how it works. They tell you, but they don't tell you, and they make sure the focus is very much on the wrong part of the story.
