There's no question this operation would become known the moment it happened, even worse by the folks they're targeting. That doesn't sound like something the CIA or anyone would want.... or even get anything out of.

No question, like none at all?

The fact that this is only making bigger news after weeks, and only because the police was actually called to the scene, ultimately leading to the CIA connection, does kinda contradict that idea.

Who knows if the Koreans would even have been willing to call local police themselves, embarrassment can play a very big role here, just like having a foreign police force go through your embassy isn't without its own set of very relevant security issues.

I mean known by the North Koreans.

Of course, but by the Trump mindset: What are they gonna do about it?

Trump constantly insist on "not taking any options from the table" to stay "unpredictable" as such this would fit neatly right in there along the lines of "We can do this to you, and there's literally nothing you can do about it, don't forget who's holding all the cards here!"
