CFIUS closely works with US intelligence agencies. That in itself isn't damning. But it also bears pointing out that the NSA also doesn't have authority over or interest in ordinary US citizens and is ostensibly 100% concerned with foreign intrusion of national security. Actual activities can and do go much further than intelligence agencies' public mandate.
- Kalium 3y agoI would be surprised and upset if CFIUS did not work closely with intelligence agencies. CFIUS is an agency charged with risk mitigation from foreign actors. Doing that effectively requires good information and risk assessments. If CFIUS did not work closely with intelligence agencies, they would either be incapable of performing their function or running their own intelligence agency.
