However, I can't help but think that if the CIA really was raided and had a man killed by the military, they would be very loud about it.
Unless even admitting the thing exists would expose the CIA to significant scrutiny for hosting operations that could conceivably constitute treason against the country they're nominally charged with acting in the defence of?
Going loud about violent internal conflict between your own government agencies is generally the last thing you want to do, especially if you are orchestrating a coup or other nefarious deed.
It quite literally could spark further violent conflict in other locations.
Make no mistake, if this country does erupt into a civil war, foreign entities will get involved and we will have a full scale worldwide war on our hands.
Civil war is honestly the last thing those in power want, they have the most to lose should one arrive.
