Any intelligence field agent is liable to tapped to perform “wet work”. There isn’t just some special team that is called on to do such things like in the movies. It’s a standard part of the job, and prospects for field agents are selected for personality types that will be able to perform those required duties. And yes, Putin was a field agent, not just an analyst or case officer.
