cia has almost infinite budget and scope after various intelligence + defense expansions, the analysts are lowest level employees. they have plenty of armed killers on the payroll. US National Security Act of 1947 created the CIA and allowed for "black budget" which is a big chunk of defense budget that isnt officially tracked or monitored. its 100 billion a year or more at this point, almost a tenth of the entire US defense budget if not more is fair game to them. poisoning, terrorism, coups, they do it all. only creates more risk and less secrecy to contract out. FBI is officially only domestic threats. CIA is global and does whatever they want basically. CIA leaders have admitted they just do crimes and illegal shit all the time because they "need" to.
