the difference between the FBI and CIA
In: 2
The FBI is law enforcement. If you commit a Federal offense, the FBI can investigate. So things like bank robbery, murder and moving the body over state lines to dispose of it, major fraud, stuff like that gets investigated by the FBI.
The CIA does not care about crime. Their whole thing is gathering intelligence to strengthen America’s strategic position on the world stage.
Now that’s pretty broad goal, and covers everything from wire tapping and paying informants, all the way to assassinations and starting coups in other countries.
*THEORETICALLY* the CIA does not conduct operations against US targets. But that’s most likely untrue. But they’re supposed to target foreign entities. Either terrorists, other countries, foreign businesses, etc.
