Wait... the people we have been paying for decades to spy on other countries...

... have actually been spying on other countries?

This is unthinkable! I mean, it's not like we've caught spies from other countries in the US. Except for the Russian, Libyan, Cuban, and Chinese ones. But not from allied countries! Except for the Australian, Israeli, Philippine, and Taiwanese ones.

And that's just off the top of my head, public information, since the end of the Cold War...

No one is surprised this is happening. There will, however, still be consequences, your protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.
