When you hear CIA think intelligence (as in espionage), when you hear FBI think investigation, never failed me

When I hear CIA, I think coercion to collect information, most usually information to be used to coerce somebody else. When I hear FBI I think coercion to instigate what will be well-publicized conspiratorial crime. Actual espionage and investigation are decidedly secondary activities.

They have been that way from the start.
