Dave's mind was a bit blown; Jimmy's surprise—or rather, shock—was a bit too much this time. He had never thought the CIA would be involved here.
The FBI and the CIA have always been at odds. Before, the CIA mostly operated domestically under the guise of the FBI. Since the '90s, when the FBI started to lead the handling of CIA spy cases, the two have been completely incompatible. Who would have thought there would be someone with a legitimate CIA background thriving in the FBI.
Perhaps Jimmy wasn't a formal CIA member, but his mother once reached the regional director level, and Jimmy could establish good relations with the current CIA executives under her protection, clearly indicating his significant influence.
Recalling Jimmy's mention of several elders attending his wedding, those people didn't seem ordinary either.
Dave contemplated with a drink in hand, internally prepared to start investigating Jimmy.
