Lying is just one of many of the things they do.

The CIA is entrusted with protecting US interests, much like every other intelligence service in the world. They do a range of things, much of them boring. It's government.

They have outlets to disseminate disinformation just like Russia does. We're just arguing about where and how it's happening.

> protecting US interests,

I think this is increasingly protecting the interest of the super rich (those with vested interests in large corps). Not "the people".

I'm not claiming other govts are better. Just saying they've shown they cannot be trusted.
