>It's demonstrable that foreign intelligence is within the NYPD's purview given they're doing it. No claims were made about efficacy.

No. If an animal control officer starts delivering mail, that doesn’t mean mail delivery is now part of the Department of Fish and Game.

There is a terms for this: a bureaucratic overreach, wasteful government spending, a distraction.

What do you think a city cop can even do in a foreign country? What resource does the NYPD even have?? Who is going to say, “I can’t talk the local cops, or the local intelligence agency, nor can I tell the Americans directly, but maybe i can tell some foreign country’s local cop! But I can’t just tell them directly. If only this foreign country’s local police had an office here!”

An NYPD cop has less training and less resources than someone working for a federal intelligence agency. That’s just the truth. It’s a post-9/11 grift founded by former police commissioner, convicted felon, and embezzler, Bernie Kerik.

That’s what it is. It’s obvious, and it was obvious almost 23 years ago. Come on! The NYPD Israeli office isn’t even in the Israeli capital. It’s in a beach resort!
