QROT-157: The CIA Never Ceases to Astound

I'm a major critic and this even astounded and surprised me. And if it doesn't astound you, as usual I explain the implications. The agency, always known for doing astoundingly corrupt and outrageous things, routinely does something that in ANY other context would be nonsensical, unethical, and illegal, that would land someone in prison for a long time. And they do it for reasons just as you'd expect - to enrich themselves.CLARIFICATION: At different points my language was likely not precise - I meant to say that "off books" activities should not be the usual or shouldn't be allowed, but I said they should be "illegal." That is imprecise in that they likely are technically illegal, buy through lore and admitted history we know they do it anyway, making my point of how inherently "the agency" is an MFer of an organization.=========================================Thanks for listening!
