The CIA is on Instagram now. Not exactly Cardi B, but whatever.
By Ian Shapira Ian Shapira Enterprise reporter covering the Washington region and beyond Email Bio Follow April 25 at 11:24 AM Pop stars, Hollywood actors, a Russian troll farm . . . and now, the spies of Langley.
On the surface, it might seem strange for the secretive spy agency to join the photo-sharing app renowned for Blake Lively’s red carpet shots, Lil’ Kim’s blond hair makeover and Kim Kardashian’s lascivious dairy ad. The CIA, the last anyone checked, does not exactly encourage its operatives or senior executives to post selfies of their clever disguises, favorite dead drop spots or parachute jumps during paramilitary training.
Other tweets reveal the agency’s edge or humor. The account features “Molly Hale,” the alias for a rotating group of real agency employees who field questions from the public about the CIA. “Please note,” the CIA tweeted in February, “there are a few things that, unfortunately, Molly cannot answer: application questions; conspiracy theories, trolls, or spam; FOIA inquiries; and this one should be obvious . . . she won’t answer anything classified.
But the DIA has an account, though it’s not verified. And the FBI has one too, though its 74 posts include photos that the CIA will probably never replicate, such as images of its employees undergoing firearms, hostage rescue or international operations training. And the Secret Service has gone Insta, too, with photos of its agents playing in their annual ice hockey game against the FBI, photos of their dogs or — in one of Instagram’s less compelling images — a picture of a man pumping gas.
