    You talked about a coup by the CIA. They’re talking about CIA helping. Two different things. Like you said, we don’t know the extent of their involvement

      So it’s also ok to condone the FBI murdering people if we don’t know that the FBI killed MLK?

          They said that it would have been ok if they helped. That conditional statement doesn’t depend on whether or not they did intervene.

              Why don’t yousee the connection. Both are instances of covert violence by the US. One is a foreign affair, the other domnestic.

                  That doesn’t matter for this original statement:

                  If the CIA helped that’s fine, people like that should not be in power.

                  We also don’t know if the FBI killed MLK. Does that mean that we can’t condemn them if they did it?

                    They’re saying it’s okay if they helped but not saying to what extent it is okay to them, does murdering people count as helping etc. By asking you might get a feel what sort of actions they’re okay with.
