Shortly after taking office in 1999, Jesse Ventura writes he was asked to attend a meeting at the state Capitol. He says 23 CIA agents were waiting for him in a basement conference room.
Ventura’s account of the meeting is detailed in an advance copy of his new book, which is scheduled for release in April. He claims the agents’ questions focused how he campaigned for office, or as Ventura writes “how had the independent wrestler candidate pulled this off?”
The former Independence Party governor says he was “stunned to learn that there is a CIA operative inside every state government.” Ventura says the Minnesota operative was a deputy commissioner, who was working with a dual identity.
CIA operations primarily focus on the collection and analysis of information about foreign threats to the United States. Domestic matters fall into the jurisdiction of the FBI.
It’s unclear whether the current administration has any dealings with the CIA. Brian McClung, a spokesman for Gov. Tim Pawlenty, said the governor talks on occasion with diplomatic, defense and intelligence officials. But he said Pawlenty does not comment on matters relating to intelligence.

Comment:
I remember Ventura saying he was surrounded by all these CIA men and woman, and said that they look you and me, you would never know by looking at them. I myself would not be surprised at all if some CIA employees were deployed in all those vote counting places.
