What you're asserting in this thread are common assumptions but false. The agencies are way beyond the point of having controllers. They have usurped control. They set their own directives, they neuter oversight, & they are funding themselves #DecipherYou
When I say they are funding themselves - I mean quite literally. One of the documents we found in the Snowden files referred to the NSA having a corporation called "NSA Corporation" which they use to fund projects when Congressional overseers won't approve them.
Spying = $$$
Spying = $$$
We also found that when NSA staff exceeded their directives, NSA Director just wrote new directives to cover for them - retroactively.
When we looked into who the NSA Director was answerable to, it wasn't the President OR Congress. It was Joint Chiefs, CIA, DoD + Dept of State.
