That doesn't matter. Drug dealers, hitmen, prostitutes, etc. go to jail all the time even though its their job.

Remember when the CIA was trafficking cocaine?

So.. same thing?

Drug dealers do it for themselves, and the CIA - who were they dealing drugs for again? The state? They were giving the proceeds of crime back to the US government?

I'm in my 30s, so explain to me why supporting drug traffickers is better when the CIA does it.
