At the center of this investigation were the following individuals who had provided funding — individuals or companies that participated in activities they identified.
Anita B. Smith, former Deputy Director of CIA Domestic Operations who was designated by Congress with responsibility for a number of these covert operations. In February 2017, she testified before Congress in support of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows the NSA to compel the communications of U.S. citizens and business associates. During August of 2017, Smith attended a conference calling for the United States to “prosecute all groups that harbor and control members of extremist and terrorist groups in our national security community and the world’s most diverse groups who encourage and organize such groups.” Smith was also named as an expert witness for the Department of Justice and the European Union Foreign Law Commissioner, with whom the Department of Justice is a co-conspirator to investigate some of the same U.S. government’s foreign spying programs, as well as a witness for the Senate Intelligence Committee. Smith met with the committee’s staff in December of 2017, whereupon Smith informed Attorney General Jeff Sessions of the news conference.
Another former Deputy Director of the National Counterterrorism Center who is responsible for handling covert agencies including covert intelligence and espionage activities, who made public his involvement as Vice Chairman of the National Counterterrorism Center during the 2015 congressional hearing
