The CIA has significant 'public/private' partnerships with thousands of companies and NGO's and non-profits. It might hurt the face of the CIA, but the people who make up the CIA, AKA it's employee's, will just distribute themselves within these external orgs and continue there operations covertly.
It's exactly what they did when they were caught using military propaganda techniques on U.S. citizens; AKA Operation Mockingbird. During the Church and Pike commissions, which were constantly attacked by CIA blackmailers, they didn't even fire anyone let alone press charges. The result was that the CIA was told not to do propaganda. To avoid this restriction, many CIA agents quit, and then privately entered the media industry, while continuing the same objectives they had while working for the CIA.
Now today, nearly 50 years later, private media is still allowed to use propaganda against us, because it isn't the government. This loop hole needs to be eliminated.
