a retired black ops federal agent?

I’d have to stop you there.? A federal agent is more synonymous with “FBI”.? A black ops is either military, paramilitary, or not related to the CIA.? Usually the CIA has a more defined structure with people who are field agents.? Those are called NOCs or case officers (who get into the field and gather intelligence, supervise important assets who were turned, or apprentice a new case officer into becoming part of the spy game).

Also, the CIA is chartered to help the United States government with intelligence gathering, proactive action, and usually on the darker side, assassination attempts (which banned the CIA from doing so in the 70s in their charter).? They do do seedy activities like sexual trafficking to bait more important criminals and get them captured, deposing of installed puppets for better ones, and more.

As for stolen? currency that may be taken, the CIA doesn’t have jurisdiction to perform domestic duties like this.? They are not allowed to spy on Americans, or track people who fall into that “stolen currecy” category.? They usually are required to do foreign intelligence and somewhat counter-intelligence in some aspects.

The stolen currency looks like it would come from the Secret Service, in which they are indeed charged with investigating counterfeits, money laundering, illegal transactions, and of course stolen currency if they’re newly minted at the U.S. Treasury.

But these guys are right.? Why a retired dude?? What makes him so special?? What makes him a cut above the rest?? Why not pull in the new younger guys?
