Oh, I just love that line...
"This discussion is part of a discrediting campaign .."

"Discredit: verb; .. To cause (someone or something) to seem dishonest or untrue."
Ahem!

Some might remember that classic movie, "Where Eagles Dare".
(Just a little bit of related trivia .. The title of that film comes from a line in Shakespeare's Richard III ..
"The world is grown so bad that wrens make pray where eagles dare not perch.")
I can relate that to the TCT saga.

Anyway, within that movie, at the Schloss Adler, there's an altercation between Major von Hapen and Colonel Kramer.
An extract from that scene:
Major von Hapen .. ".. I am also aware of your attempts to discredit me with my superiors in Berlin."
Colonel Kramer .. "Sir, if there is any discredit - you bring it upon yourself... Good night!"

I think that exchange could also be pertinent to this farce.
