@kevinjonheller Kevin--thoughts on CIAs political, not legal, status? They're wielded so often as a paramilitary arm for a reason, right?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel@kevinjonheller on the surface, practically (operationally, and not legally) TMA is expansive. All of Op Copper Dune is overt!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
