...but I can't imagine what the CIA was watching FOR. Did they think there were terrorists on the NYPD? Thats very unlikely... Also, its my understanding the CIA isn't even permitted to conduct operations on US soil. Perhaps someone wll correct me if I'm wrong. I think US soil is strictly the domain of FBI/DoJ.

Why did the CIA conduct this NYPD undercover investigation instead of the FBI?

(17,064 posts)4. Thats a very good question.
I don't think they are allowed to, by law.

The law was abandoned quite some time back. I believe it was called The Patriot Act.

(17,064 posts)6. Patriot Act allowed CIA operations on US soil?
I didn't know that was in there. Theres probably quite a bit in Patriot Act we don't know about.
