That's true to a point, but it has no legal mandate to operate domestically. That doesn't mean it has no domestic operations, it exists domestically after all,

That's true to a point, but it has no legal mandate to operate domestically. That doesn't mean it has no domestic operations, it exists domestically after all, but it means it does so at the discretion of the entire rest of the executive and judicial branch. The FBI, police services and Homeland Security have jurisdiction, which the CIA doesn't.
