The USA uses foreign allied agencies to do off the book work, so it cannot be monitored by FOIA or even congressional oversight stc.

You have an off record conversation with another countries intelligence agency asking them to bug/bribe/detain someone etc.

Or kill someone if it's the ISI in Pakistan or a similar relationship. Then you can say "hey wasn't us"
