Samantha,
Look at what is being said. "I served my country as a security
intelligence reconnaissance expert for black agencies that don't officially
exist."
Now that says that congress didn't approve of the "black agency" nor
did they authorize money to be spent on it. They do not know of its
existance and cannot exercise their constitutional duty of oversight.
So where do they find their authorization. The President or someone
in the government has privately decided they need men of this type to to do
jobs that an honest member of the FBI or other legitimate government employee
wouldn't do because it is illegal.
Where did the money to pay these "Off the books operatives" come from.
It is either money that was discretionary or that was redirected from some
other legitimate source. Possibly the President or whoever collected the
money from private sources.
In the end we have private operatives, being paid unauthorized money
to perform services that are illegal. Doesn't this sound a bit like Nixon's
men known as the plumbers or the "private detectives" that Clinton sent to
deal with difficult women? We do know the standing of such men from
observing recent history. when their identity is found out and their deeds
proven they often go to the penitentary.
However, when I was much younger I was a management consultant. As
such I had a very good expense account and I spent way too much time hanging
out in singles bars. Samantha I have known a few guys that would use a line
like Harvey's on a gullible chick in a bar if they thought it would work.
Now do you see why I didn't take it seriously when Harvey introduced
that line into what is mainly serious intellectual discourse?
