A few months ago, when my knee was aching too much to sleep, I watched a Congressional Budget committee interviewing five retired adm, generals, FBI and CIA agents who represented the Terrorist Threat IP (TTIP). They had no budget since all the 80 agents were still listed as being employed elsewhere, ibid for supplies, and the CIA gave them free space.

You could see the Congress peole were amazed. They asked questions about their functions and were told, "We review data and alert other agencies."
TTIP has access to raw data, satellite feeds etc. When asked about oversight, the FBI agent said, "We have none." He like the other four were openly defiant. IT was obvious TTIP does what it Best if kept off the board well pleases.

Scary!!!!
