There are twenty something intelligence agencies in the US these days.

Blaming one of them for everything and anything is laughable on its face.

It was only the CIA that JFK vowed to shatter into a thousand pieces.

It was only the CIA that spurred JFK to write NSAM-57 (National Security Action Memo, IIRC). It was a memo to the effect of interjecting the Executive level of the Pentagon into the command loop between CIA and US military special forces. The memo was never implemented before JFK’s death, not until acting Defense Sec Chris Miller did it at the end of Trump’s first term. Of course the implementation was short-lived but perhaps the intent was to set a precedent.

In any case, the CIA is in a completely different category from typical “intelligence agencies”. It presumes itself to be the real government. The government we vote for is the “rube” government, for us rubes.
