The CIA isn't law enforcement, they don't combat child porn or pedofilia. Plus they've been known to utilise drug channels to launder money and weapons.
It is easier to think of the CIA as a legalised criminal organisation, in that they conduct criminal activities in foreign countries, for what they (and the US government) view as for the "greater good." Which is of course no different than MI6 (SIS), Mossad, or the SVR RF who also primarily conduct illegal activities in foreign countries, often utilising criminal back-channels, and with their respective state endorsement.
For example, the Tor network (used for a huge amount of illegal activity) was primarily funded by the US Government and had expertise provided by US Intelligence. It is no doubt used by organisations like the CIA to help conduct their activities abroad.
Plus the CIA isn't even meant to get involved in domestic law enforcement, they're meant to hand that intelligence off to e.g. the FBI to investigate.
- zerr 9y ago> they're meant to hand that intelligence off to e.g. the FBI to investigate. Of course. That's why there are different organizations. But any examples of such "handling off" to FBI or Police - is what I'm asking.
