Yeah, I do feel that way sometimes.
I'm sure that you do too.
You know the old saying, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
There were times after I got out of prison, the first two years after I got out of prison, that every once in a while, and I'll preface this by saying I was a surveillance detection instructor at the CIA.
Every once in a while, I would see surveillance.
And I would write down the license number and just call my lawyer.
And then he'd call me a day later and say, it's the FBI.
They're just curious as to what you're up to.
And I'd say, all they have to do is ask.
That's all they have to do.
They don't have to follow me to get pizza with a buddy of mine and rest in.
They're really not good at surveillance.
I'm serious when I say I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
That's the bottom line right there.
We don't want to corrupt CIA.
