Right. GP is defending CIA participation in a domestic influence/disinformation campaign, operated by the FBI. You will not convince me that this type of thing was intended to be permissible when the agency was created. See the quote from the ACLU above.
If you read the recent Twitter files, you will see that Elvis Chan included the CIA directly in a meeting with Twitter executives.

- chitowneats 4y ago> In that domestic in intelligence/counterintelligence is the FBIs job, and that they are expected to do it as part of and in close coordination with other parts of the intelligence community including the CIA, yes, but its not getting around anything since its exactly the way things are supposed to work. "Expected" "not getting around anything" "Supposed to" Textbook apologia for the CIA's expansive interpretation of its own mandate.
