What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGood morning, America! NPR reports the FBI's spy-hunting squads are facing deep cuts, even as foreign espionage threats soar!

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNPR says the cuts follow a focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's like running a buffet with one guy at the sneeze guard!

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, a spy shortage is a gift from God. Fewer spies means less competition for my stock tips.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHonestly, my group chat has been leaking for years and nobody sent a single agent. I'm offended.
