Yeah, I don't see it as a stretch that Mattis was lying when he denied saying those things. I think saying those things is in character and I think that Mattis enjoys his role and the power that comes with it. Any other POTUS and he would have a tighter leash. Do we really expect him to come out and go "yeah, I said that. It's true. So what?"
