Does the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act also give white hats legal grounds to lie to Americans even though it’s utilizing plausible deniability to use deception while also saving the world?

Sounds plausible to me.

Seems plausible but the ramification of continually being lied to by BH and WH erodes any credibility and trust. Lies are betrayals causing deep wounds. By either side is wrong at this point.

If Biden is fake, that’s deception. If it’s allowing us to get intel from the bad guys so they can be destroyed, I am fine with it.

Now think about how B1d3n is just one piece of the puzzle.
