All you care about are trivial details, neglecting the real matter at hand.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Donald be concerned about why a CIA agent died in the White House? Instead, he doesn't care about why Wei Feng died in the White House; he's more concerned about how Gao Yi killed Wei Feng.
Could it be that Donald is one of our own?
Otherwise, this situation is inexplicable.
But many things don't need to be explained. Gao Yi couldn't care less about whether there's an unspeakable relationship between Panetta and Donald. He only wants to know how this will end, and what Donald plans to do with him.
Why emphasize that there might be an opportunity? What's behind this "might"?
