IMO it just doesn't make much sense, though, as soon as you picture actual groups of people running these schemes. It's super secret and all, but behind the iris-scanner doors and extreme vetting, people are sitting in offices, drink coffee, have meetings, etc. There's oversight, reports to file and activity logs. Now how should a group of employees, in this environment, sit together and decide to manipulate an election in their own country? That just doesn't seem feasible.
I honestly imagine the day-to-day activity there to be way more mundane than we imagine. It's probably just sifting through thousands of pages worth of intelligence (transcribed phone calls from terrorism suspects, reports from people at foreign embassies, etc) for things that are usable. Probably often with few results. I don't even think the amount of information is the real limitation. It's probably the quality.
