The DEA systematically 'launders' evidence from illegal NSA surveillance by fabricating alternative explanations for how they found suspects — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

Reuters revealed in 2013 that the DEA's Special Operations Division instructs agents to practice 'parallel construction' — recreating the investigative trail to conceal that evidence originated from NSA warrantless surveillance. Agents fabricate alternative explanations for how they found suspects, essentially laundering illegally obtained evidence into court-admissible form. Defense attorneys are never told the true origin of evidence, violating defendants' constitutional rights. The practice has never been successfully challenged in court.
