"He goes, you say, "Well, just tell us to stop." And the meaning is, "We know that you can tell us to stop, but you got to get everybody else to tell you to stop. And if if we keep doing it, you got to get everybody else to pull the purse strings. And that never happens.""
Jim recounts internal guidance he says he received on how CIA personnel handle objections from congressional overseers, portraying it as performative and structurally toothless. He also recalls an oversight meeting where, when asked about accountability after a major failure, an agency lawyer replied: "We're holding the system accountable."
