The State Department maintains our diplomatic relations and posture with the foreign world. The reason USAID is not supposed to be doing covert action, the CIA, is because if there's diplomatic blowback, it should be diplomatic organs who are doing it. But But what USAID said, you know, so evidently there was no presidential finding for that.

You know, the official story, and they had public hearings on this, by the way, I believe in 2014. Yeah. The official story is that USAID did this whole thing in-house. And they did it because it was so-called discreet rather than covert, that it was not a formal covert action. It was simply discreet democracy promotion work to bring democracy to Cuba.

That's a, if they ran that in the Obama administration, imagine what was done, you know, Trump wanted to knock out ISIS. ISIS, according to the previous White House, you know, we have WikiLeaks emails of Jake Sullivan saying to Hillary Clinton, Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria.
