When talking about large groups it's rarely correct to describe acts committed by any members as being a unitary action.
Example, "The CIA killed Kennedy or helped in the killing" is probably reasonably enough correct if meaning only that some top people in the CIA conspired, maybe all the way to the top, or at least some people in the CIA did. But it would be almost certainly incorrect if meant as, every single CIA employee knew about it or would have agreed to it.
Probably most accurate to view it as there are quite a number of people with a lot of power behind the curtain, many of whom are placed in government including the CIA, working to advance their interests and the interests of those who got them into their positions, and most certainly not the interests of America or her people.
How many CIA agents are tools working away, having no idea except they need to accomplish tasks X, Y, and Z today all of which are mundane? Who knows. Some anyway. Are any white hats in there? Let's hope so.
On your question, the term Deep State is getting to be known. Maybe best to attribute evil to the Deep State and say some in the CIA are deep state.

Civilianon, here. Have done some study.
So, C_A runs on compartmentalization. There's above-board OP's (operations that can be disclosed to Congress) and there are blackOps. Gina has, controls, and is getting to know the above-board. She has to selectively request info on BlackOps. Until she can specifically ask for info on a particular operation (I.e. crossfirehurricane), that info will not be volunteered.

You have to understand that that just like the masons and others ... those lower down the hierarchy are spoonfed bullshit and truly believe they are serving the best interests of their country and are patriots.
They don’t know what happens at the top.
As a general rule with anything - the higher up you go, the more corrupt and sick it gets!
