Operation Mockingbird is a CIA operation that entailed placing CIA agents in various news media to influence and shape public opinion and perceptions. By law, the CIA is banned from interfering in domestic politics.
In 2013 a CIA contractor, Jeff Bezos, whose Amazon.com won a $450 million per year no-bid contract to provide internet hosting services to CIA, took the proceeds of the sale and promptly bought The Washington Post for $250 million, a highly influential domestic policy publication.
Beginning in 2015 the Obama/Biden intelligence community, together with help from the Washington Post owned by a paid CIA contractor, violated this basic law with the Russiagate hoax.
