- The Parallel Construction Plot
A theory rooted in real law-enforcement practice concerns that the DEA, FBI, and other agencies used intelligence-derived leads—especially NSA-linked or other sensitive-source data—to begin criminal investigations, then rebuilt the evidentiary trail through “parallel construction” while concealing the original source from defense lawyers, judges, and sometimes even prosecutors. In conspiracy form, the practice is treated not as an episodic workaround but as a systemic architecture for laundering surveillance into ordinary criminal prosecution.
