Mike Benz: 'When it's too dirty for the CIA, you give it to USAID' for Covert Operations

BENZ: “… every covert action the CIA does has to be, has to be authorized by the President, and what's called the Presidential finding to take that covert action… if the CIA senior leadership were just a rogue cell that's not even at the top of leadership… but they don't think the President will approve, or the President doesn't want to formally sign off on it, in case it goes it goes wrong, they can walk right over to USAID, who can do the exact same thing the CIA does, except they can call it ‘discrete democracy promotion,’ because it's not technically an intelligence agency, so it's not technically covert action, so it doesn't require executive branch approval or foreknowledge.”
