I seriously doubt that much of the meat and potatoes deep state stuff happens through the CIA in the modern age.

The CIA has been getting such an increasingly bad press for all their successful cover-ups that gradually unwound over the course of the 20th century that it make little sense to do much dirty work through the CIA these days. It's probably exactly like it is on Homeland and Meet the Parents/Fockers, lol

if Gavin Andresen works for any shady organisation, we probably don't who they are, or where their HQ is. "Knowledge is power", "we want information" etc
